Just for shits and giggles yesterday I ran a dummy order through the website and picked someone about 20 minutes away from me in Sacramento.  50 shirts with a 3 color front print.   All in I would of made about $150 still just by sending the order in through them and not printing it. 

I'm about 10 years away from stepping away and my plan was just to keep my embroidery machines and sign making equipment and just keep doing the things I still like doing from home since I'm not setup for retirement very well and I'll need some $$ still.  This might give me an extra revenue source without having employees or dealing with the printing side of the business anymore.  Who knows this might work in some of ours favor.  I could always do it the old way too though as there are a lot of shops 20-30 minutes away that I could farm stuff out too.

Or you could send the work to a contract decorator and skip paying Sanmar…

I'll take this over Alpha running their own sewing machines in Kansas.  That was BS.

Hmm, do you think this a long term play to eventualy let general public place orders with decoration @ sanmar.com. look at all the consolidation the last 18 -24 months, the landscape will be much differant in a short amount time of for many printshops.

The form to become a sanmar customer says "State Sales Tax License # for Garment Industry is required." so it's not like Johnny Landscaper is able to get an account with SanMar - unlike S&S who will sell to anyone with a pulse....

I tried to place an order for 24 tanks, one color pdf for art, it's super easy to do, this will work for anyone doing more volume than they care to with DTF...jussayin

It's setup mainly for the PSST customers. Pack Separate, Ship Together.  It's volume contract decorators.

I am not on that program, and I do not care to be.

Pierre may be able to shine some light on it, I would imagine he is on that program, but I can't verify.

Our Rep foe Sanmar will pass our name along to local contractors he thinks would be a good fit for us.

You can get on the list if you hit all the criteria.... I could if I reallllly wanted to but contract work doesn't interest me at all.  I can only imagine the issues and nonsense these printers are going to face now they are in the wide open to literally everyone with a sanmar account.  Imagine all the criket karens asking where their order is every 5 minutes....damn dude...no thanks

Requirements:
Contract decorating is your primary business focus
You currently service a broad base of SanMar customers
NET terms established and in good standing
Allows for SanMar customers to drop ship directly
Production location must be commercially zoned
Website/marketing plan communicating contract decoration service details
Annual site visits and Decoration Profile required
Willing to work directly with SanMar on troubleshooting Decoration Solutions

I get it. 

I wonder how to get on the list.  Do we have to call our rep or did they just pick from their list of printers.
