What is contract decoration?
Contract decoration is when you supply the blank garments (or we source them for you) and SeaSide handles the printing, embroidery, patching, and finishing. It's built for resellers, brands, and promotional buyers who need reliable, repeatable decoration at volume without managing a print shop.
Do you offer contract screen printing and embroidery?
Yes. Screen printing, embroidery, direct-to-film (DTF), patches, and retail-ready finishing are all run in-house in our Wilmington, NC facility. You can use one method or combine several on the same order.
What are the minimums for contract work?
Minimums vary by method — screen printing starts at 48 pieces, embroidery at 6, patches at 12, and DTF has no minimum. For large wholesale and brand programs (500+ pieces), request a wholesale quote for volume pricing.
Can you hold inventory and ship on demand?
Yes. Once your goods are decorated and finished, we can store bagged, tagged, and boxed inventory on our warehouse racks and pick, pack, and ship on demand — wave releases, reorders, and inventory counts on request.
Where are you located?
Our shop is at 114 Portwatch Way, Wilmington, NC 28412. We ship nationwide and work with resellers and brands across the country.
