Why the P.A.N.D.A. Program Is the Smartest Way to Order Custom Shirts

Okay, real talk — one of the biggest things I hear from customers is some version of "I want to order shirts, but I don't know how many I need yet." Maybe you're trying to rally your rec league team, or you're doing a fundraiser and you have no idea how many people will actually buy in. Ordering custom shirts has always felt like a commitment: pick your design, lock in your size run, and get exactly 24 or whatever the minimum is. All at once. No wiggle room.

That's why we built the P.A.N.D.A. program. It stands for Pick A New Design Anytime — and honestly, it changes everything.

Here's How It Works

With P.A.N.D.A., you get quantity pricing based on your running total over 30 days — not just what you order in a single visit. So if you order 6 shirts today, 8 next week, and another 12 later this month, you're priced at the 26-shirt tier, not the 6-shirt tier. The clock starts when you place your first order and runs for 30 days. You can even mix designs.

No more "I need to figure out exactly what everybody wants before I can order." Order what you know now, add more as people commit. Simple.

The Real Pricing (No Surprises)

These prices are for Gildan Basic or Softstyle tees (S–XL), including one full-color DTF print and press:

  • 1 shirt: $24.99

  • 2 shirts: $21.99 each

  • 3 shirts: $19.99 each

  • 4 shirts: $17.99 each

  • 5 shirts: $16.99 each

  • 6 shirts: $15.99 each

  • 7 shirts: $14.99 each

  • 8 shirts: $13.99 each

  • 9 shirts: $13.49 each

  • 10 shirts: $12.99 each

  • 11 shirts: $12.49 each

  • 12–23 shirts: $12.00 each

  • 24–47 shirts: $10.00 each

  • 48–74 shirts: $9.50 each

  • 75–99 shirts: $9.00 each

  • 100–149 shirts: $8.50 each

  • 150+ shirts: Custom quote — just call us

Size upcharges: 2XL +$2.50 | 3XL +$3.00 | 4XL +$4.00 | 5XL and up, just give us a call.

Want to add a left chest logo? That's +$3. Second full print on the back? +$5. Names +$4, numbers +$3, or names and numbers together for +$5.

Who This Is Perfect For

School fundraisers. You know how it goes — you set up the fundraiser, announce it, and then people trickle in over two or three weeks. With P.A.N.D.A., you can collect orders as they come in and place them in batches. By the end of the month, your price reflects your full order volume, not the first small batch you placed on day one.

Sports teams and rec leagues. You signed up 18 people but three of them haven't paid yet and one is still arguing about their size. Order for the 15 who are ready. When the stragglers come through, add them to the order within 30 days and your price stays at the bigger-quantity tier. No restarting, no penalty.

Small businesses and pop-up shops. You want to test a few designs without committing to huge quantities. Order a small run, see what sells, then come back for more — all within the 30-day window. You're not locked into one design, and you're still earning the better price as your total grows.

Let's Get Your Order Started

The P.A.N.D.A. program was built because we've been doing this long enough to know that real orders don't always come in neat, perfectly-sized batches. Life is messier than that, and your shirt order shouldn't punish you for it.

Call or text us at (816) 83-SHIRT, DM us on Facebook @bdshirtsstj, or start your order at bdshirts.com. We're happy to walk you through how the program works for your specific situation — just ask.
