About Small Crew
Custom apparel for small crews, without bulk-order barriers
Small Crew is an online-first custom apparel studio based in Indio, California. We help restaurants, trades, salons, gyms, nonprofits, and other small teams order professional branded apparel without being forced into a large minimum.
How our business works
Small Crew does not operate a retail showroom or keep a warehouse of preprinted garments. We prepare the order, review the artwork, provide the digital proof, and coordinate production through established on-demand printing and fulfillment partners. Each custom item is produced only after the customer approves the proof.
- No minimum order. One shirt is a real order.
- No setup or screen fees. Any available options and prices are shown before checkout.
- Free digital proof. Nothing goes into production until the customer approves the artwork placement.
- Free US shipping. This applies to every order, including one-piece orders.
- Artwork kept on file. Customers can reorder individual replacement pieces later.
Pricing and volume discounts
Product pages show the single-item base price. Eligible volume discounts begin at six pieces and are displayed before checkout. A larger order can cost less per piece; ordering one never triggers a small-order surcharge.
Production and delivery
We send the digital proof the same business day after receiving usable artwork. Production can take up to 10 business days after proof approval, followed by approximately 3–5 business days in transit. Customers working toward a firm date should contact us before ordering.
