Here is how easy it is when you work with University Tees for your apparel needs:
Step 1: Design
Designing your order is easier than ever, and the best part? All artwork and revisions are completely free.
Customize an existing design: Pick a design (or multiple) from our Design Gallery and personalize it using our Design Tool.
Create your own: Made something in Canva, Adobe Illustrator, or Photoshop? You can share your design directly with your Campus Managerâ„¢.
Found a bunch of inspo online? Send it to your Campus Managerâ„¢, and our graphic designers will create something from scratch!

Step 3: Finalize Order Details
University Tees has a unique set of services available to our customers that other companies don’t offer.
First up, pricing - our pricing is flexible and varies based on the product(s) you choose, the decoration method, and the quantity! Talk to your Campus Managerâ„¢ about your ideal price point or budget and we’ll make sure it works.Â
Our minimum is only 12, and you can have up to 12 products (with the same design) to help you hit that minimum! This helps with budget inclusivity for your members, gives them style and color options, and is COMPLETELY FREE to add. So, why not?!Â
Once you have all of the products you want at the price you love, it’s time to order! We have three main options to collect sizes and payments:Â
Bulk orders - you collect sizes and payments on your own and send over the details to us when you’re ready. Pay in bulk with card, check, or ACH!Â
Bulk pay link - let us help you collect the sizes with a BirdBank! We can set up a link that has all of your product options on there for people to select what they want. You then could bill them through BillHighway (or a similar platform) and pay us by card, check, or ACH!Â
Individual pay link - totally hands off for you! We can collect orders AND payments with our BirdBank link, where members can individually select what they want, put in their own payment info (card, Paypal or Venmo), and we check out the order from there.Â
PS - you’ll be able to log in and see who has ordered, what has hit minimum, and more with our customer portal!Â
Extra Perks:
Sounds easy enough, right?! We have a few extra perks of working with UTees, though - read on to learn more!
Fundraisers: We’d love to help you raise money! Whether it be towards your Philanthropy or charity of choice, or just to help supplement some chapter budget, we can make ANY order a fundraiser. Talk to your Campus Manager™ about options.
Bag & Tagâ„¢: Struggle with pass-outs? We can individually wrap and label every shirt with their name and what they ordered to make passing out merch a breeze.
Planning ahead? We can hold shipments for FREE! Just let us know ahead of time and we’ll make a note. This is GREAT when placing recruitment orders over the summer, but you’re not on campus to receive the package!
Feeling loyal? While we have frequent monthly promotions for all customers, we have a VIP Rewards Program where you can unlock free gifts for your chapter just by placing orders through us! Think Starbucks rewards - the more you buy, the more credits you get that can be cashed out for chapter-wide freebies like buttons, hats, and even free t-shirts for the whole chapter. More details here!
The best part about working with University Tees is that our Campus Managersâ„¢ walk you through each of these steps. They are college students just like you who can text to communicate instead of having to email a sales rep back and forth. We're so excited to see what you create with University Tees!
