Notes from the shop
Wholesale buyers rarely want one shirt. The orders that come from Sadar Bazar are usually a full carton for a shop team, a distributor roadshow or a seasonal promotion, and they are wanted in one size run, one colour and one print. Our shop in Tri Nagar sits a short drive away, so artwork can be settled in person before anything goes to print.
The lanes around the market make delivery its own problem. Loading is easier early in the day, and a carton that arrives at the wrong hour can sit on the pavement while somebody looks for a trolley. Ordering in one batch rather than in pieces keeps it to a single trip, and bulk orders are delivered without a delivery charge.
A trader in Sadar Bazar who repeats the same design each season gets the most out of screen printing, because the artwork and the screens carry over to the next run. Where the shirts need different names or numbers, vinyl is the sensible method, since nothing has to be set up again for each variation.
