How to Get a Custom Embroidery Quote Using wholesale.rkthreads.com

Getting a custom embroidery quote shouldn't feel like filling out a tax return. At RK Threads, we built our wholesale quoting system to be genuinely easy to use — because you've got better things to do than chase someone on the phone for a price.

Here's a full walkthrough of how to use wholesale.rkthreads.com to get your custom quote sorted quickly.

Who Is Wholesale.RKThreads.com For?

Our wholesale portal is built for anyone ordering custom embroidered garments in bulk. That includes:

  • Businesses ordering staff uniforms
  • Sports clubs kitting out their team
  • Schools and organisations with branded gear needs
  • Promotional merchandise buyers
  • Resellers and merch businesses

If you're ordering 10 or more pieces, this portal is your best mate.

Step 1: Head to wholesale.rkthreads.com

Simple enough. Pop over to wholesale.rkthreads.com and you'll land on our wholesale quote page. No login required to get started — just jump straight in.

Step 2: Choose Your Garments

Browse through our range of available garments. We stock a solid range of blanks across:

  • T-shirts — classic and performance fits
  • Polos — great for corporate and hospitality uniforms
  • Hoodies and fleece — always popular for teams and staff
  • Caps and hats — one of our most requested items
  • Work jackets and softshells — perfect for tradies and outdoor teams

Each garment listing shows you available colours and size ranges so you can build your order exactly how you need it.

Step 3: Select Your Sizes and Quantities

Enter the quantity you need for each size. The more you order, the better the pricing — so if you're on the fence between 20 and 25 units, it's worth checking whether the price break makes it worth rounding up.

The quoting system will calculate pricing automatically as you go, so you'll see exactly where you land without having to ask anyone.

Step 4: Upload Your Artwork

This is the important bit. Upload your logo or design file directly in the quote form. The best file types to send us are:

  • Vector files — AI, EPS, SVG or PDF (preferred)
  • High-resolution PNG or JPG — at least 300dpi if you don't have a vector

If you're not sure what you've got, just upload what you have and we'll take a look and let you know. We won't leave you guessing.

Step 5: Tell Us the Embroidery Location/s

Let us know where you want the embroidery to go. Common placements include:

  • Left chest (the most popular for logos)
  • Right chest
  • Centre chest
  • Back (great for team names or large designs)
  • Sleeve or cuff
  • Cap front or side

You can request multiple placements on a single garment — just note it in the comments and we'll include that in the quote.

Step 6: Add Any Special Instructions

Got specific thread colours you need matched to your brand? Want names or numbers on individual garments? Need a rush turnaround? Chuck it all in the notes section. The more detail you give us, the more accurate your quote will be.

Step 7: Submit and We'll Come Back to You

Once you submit the form, our team will review your request and come back to you with a full itemised quote. We typically respond within one business day.

Your quote will include:

  • Per-unit pricing
  • Digitising fee (one-off, never charged again for the same design)
  • Estimated turnaround time
  • Any questions we have about your order

What Happens After You Approve the Quote?

Once you're happy with the quote and give us the green light, we'll send through a digital proof for approval before anything goes into production. You'll see exactly how your design will look — size, placement, colour — before a single stitch is sewn.

After proof approval, your order goes into production and ships to you within 10 business days.

Why Use Our Wholesale Portal Instead of Emailing?

Look, emailing back and forth to get a quote is fine, but it takes time. Our wholesale portal collects all the info we need upfront, which means we can get you an accurate quote faster and with fewer follow-up questions. It just works better for everyone.

Plus, everything's in one place — your garment choices, quantities, artwork, placement notes. No lost attachments, no "can you resend that logo?" situations.
