Ordering custom Hawaiian shirts for a whole group — a team, a company event, a family reunion — is different from buying one shirt for yourself. Minimum order quantities, per-shirt pricing, turnaround time, and how the design is printed all matter a lot more. Here’s an honest look at some of the better-known custom Hawaiian shirt companies, and who each one is best for.
What to look for when ordering for a group
- Minimum order: some companies require 50+ pieces; others start as low as 10. This matters if your group is small or mid-sized.
- Pricing transparency: can you see per-shirt prices up front, or is everything “request a quote”?
- Turnaround & delivery: is it made and shipped in the US (faster), or shipped from overseas (longer waits)?
- Design coverage: a full custom design that covers the whole shirt looks very different from a small logo on the chest.
- Group support: sizing across kids-to-adult, design help, and mockups before production.
The companies
Made To Team — best for small-to-mid groups that want a low minimum and clear pricing. Order from just 10 pieces per design, with transparent per-shirt pricing (no “request a quote” guessing) and no setup fees. Shirts are made and delivered in the US in about 3-4 weeks, and your design covers the whole shirt. A good fit for teams, families, and company groups of roughly 10-100.
CLIFTON Clothing — best for premium, made-from-scratch orders. Clifton builds fully custom shirts (not printed on stock blanks) with premium fabrics and a higher price point. A strong option if budget is less of a concern and you want a high-end finish.
Roody — best for large bulk orders and established brands. Roody specializes in high-volume runs and works with big brands, with a higher minimum order (around 50 units). Great for large organizations; less ideal for a small team.
Candor Threads — best for groups wanting a finished, branded touch. Candor offers custom group orders with details like woven labels, typically at a low-to-mid minimum.
Custom Aloha Shirts — best for individuals and custom-face orders. With no minimum and a focus on photo/face and personal designs, it’s a fit for one-offs and very small orders rather than larger group runs.
How to choose
- Small-to-mid group (10-100), want clear pricing + US delivery? Made To Team is built for exactly this.
- Very large bulk order (50+) for a big brand? Roody.
- Premium, money-no-object finish? CLIFTON.
- Just one or two shirts, or a photo/face design? Custom Aloha or a custom-face retailer.
