Custom hoodies start at a minimum order of 10 to 25 pieces for a ready-to-wear hoodie that Sunday prints and embroiders, or 100 for a full-custom build from fabric. A good company hoodie is 280 to 400 GSM, made in pre-shrunk cotton so it will not shrink, and embroidery is the default decoration. Lead time runs about three to six weeks. You can preview a design in your colours for free before ordering. Below are the rest of the answers.
This is the quick-reference FAQ for custom hoodies. For the full story behind any answer, the complete custom hoodies guide goes deeper. If you just want the facts before you brief a run, start here.
What is the minimum order for custom hoodies?
The minimum is 10 to 25 pieces for a ready-to-wear hoodie that Sunday prints and embroiders, depending on the style, and 100 pieces for a full-custom hoodie built from the fabric up. The low ready-to-wear floor makes hoodies easy to test before you scale.
How much do custom hoodies cost?
It depends on fabric weight, build and volume more than anything else. A ready-to-wear embroidered hoodie is the affordable workhorse; a heavyweight or full-custom hoodie costs more because you are paying for quality you can feel. Live pricing shows as you build in the platform.
How long does it take to make custom hoodies?
Standard production is about three to six weeks from approved design. Ready-to-wear printed or embroidered hoodies are quickest; full-custom hoodies from fabric take longer. The clock starts when you sign off the design, so approve early.
What fabric weight should a company hoodie be?
Aim for 280 to 400 GSM. Below 280 it feels like a light sweater or even a t-shirt, which is the classic promo mistake. Above 400 it starts to feel stiff. Weight is the single biggest quality signal, so set it before you compare prices.

Should I choose embroidery or print on a hoodie?
Embroidery is the default and almost always the right call on a hoodie. It looks and feels premium and lasts. Print wins for big, colourful or detailed artwork where stitching is not practical.
What makes a hoodie feel premium?
Five tells: a fabric weight of 280 to 400 GSM, a double-layered hood, a brushed inner rather than French Terry, solid drawstrings with metal tips, and pre-shrunk cotton. A cheap zipper or a single-layer hood is the giveaway of a low-quality hoodie.
Do custom hoodies shrink in the wash?
Not Sunday's. We only use pre-shrunk cotton, so the hoodie does not shrink the first time it is washed. Cheaper production skips pre-shrinking, which is why a bargain hoodie can come out a size smaller after one wash.
Can I get organic or recycled custom hoodies?
Yes. Sunday offers both organic cotton and recycled cotton hoodies, in a balanced blend so they hold their shape. Pick the story that fits your brand.
Are zip-up or pullover hoodies better for company use?
Both work; it depends on use. A pullover is sportier and more active. A zip-up is professional casual and great for events and trips, because people keep it on into the evening and wear it at home. Watch the zipper quality, since a poor zip is a cheap-hoodie tell.
What is the best use for a custom hoodie?
New hire kits, team events and trips, intern and campus programs, and developer teams, who consistently rank a hoodie as the merch they most want. A hoodie is the premium version of a t-shirt, which is why it works as a welcome kit hero.

Yes. Use the free hoodie mockup generator to drop in your logo and see your design in your colours in seconds, with no account needed. A free Sunday account turns it into a real order. Browse the catalog or see how it works.
