Stop Managing Multiple Vendors
Nobody sets out to become a merch coordinator. It happens one rushed order at a time, until the job belongs to whoever had a free afternoon.
The Printer Ghost
You email a shop about uniforms. They quote once, then go quiet for eleven days. Your staff is still wearing whatever they own, and the season started without you.
The Guessing Game
You ordered thirty hoodies based on what you thought people wanted. Now you have fourteen XLs, zero smalls, and a closet you have started avoiding.
The Restart
Every season starts from scratch. New vendor search, new artwork files, new headache. Nothing was documented the first time, so nothing is easy the second time.
One contact. One Invoice. That is the entire pitch.
Who We Serve
Built For Organizations Tired Of Playing Vendor Manager
If your merch decisions currently land on whoever has time this week, you are our client.
Gyms & Fitness
Coach and staff uniforms. Seasonal member drops. Challenge kits. New member welcome kits. We build a calendar your members look forward to instead of a one off shirt order every spring.
For Gyms →Schools & Athletics
Spirit wear. Team uniforms. Fundraiser merch. Staff appreciation. One partner across every booster club, coach, and department, so nobody has to chase down a print shop in August.
For Schools →Local Businesses
Onboarding kits. Staff uniforms. Event and trade show merch. Client gifts and promotional products. Everything branded, stocked, and shipped without adding a project to somebody's plate.
For Business →Six Programs We Build For Tampa Bay Organizations
Not a catalog to shop. These are managed programs with a calendar, documented specs, and a reorder file behind each one.
Staff Uniform Programs
Polos, tees, outerwear, and headwear for your team, with sizes and specs on file so a new hire takes one email instead of a new project.
Reorders on demand

What Merch Managed Actually Looks Like
The Proof Run is one project. Merch Managed is the year. Here is what changes once your program is running.
Your Job
Approve And Receive.
You get concepts and a quote by email. Reply yes, no, or change this, and product shows up. No vendor calls, no size spreadsheets, no chasing artwork. The goal is under an hour a month.
Our Job
Everything Else.
- Plan the year. A merch calendar built around your seasons, events, and hiring cycle, reviewed with you each quarter.
- Source and price. We bring options and real numbers, not a catalog link.
- Run production. Vetted decorators, with every bulk order checked before it reaches you.
- Hold the specs. Sizes, colors, placements, and art on file permanently.
- Prompt reorders. We check in ahead of each season so reorders go in before you run out, not after.
- Deliver locally. Local delivery across Tampa Bay, in person whenever possible.
How it is priced: you pay for product at a quoted price per piece, plus a flat monthly management fee based on volume and how many groups we handle. Month to month, cancel anytime.

Three Reasons This Works Better
Plenty of places will sell you shirts. Very few will run the whole thing for you.
A Department, Not An Order Form
Print shops wait for you to tell them what you want. We tell you what your program needs and when, then run it on a calendar you approve up front and we review with you each quarter.
Local Means Local
Largo based, serving Pinellas, Hillsborough and Pasco. If something needs to be dropped off, checked, or fixed in person, it gets handled by someone local, not a call center.
You Keep Everything
The product, the artwork files, and the documented reorder specs from your first project are yours whether you hire us for the year or not. Judge the work on the work.

The One Contact
Justin Wright, Merch Program Manager
When the site says one contact, this is the contact. Veteran owned, run out of Largo, and the same person who answers the phone is the one who manages your order from first call to delivery. (727) 509-7605
The Things Everyone Asks First
What does this actually cost?
Two parts. You pay for product at a quoted price per piece. If you move into a Merch Managed program, there is also a flat monthly management fee based on your volume and how many groups we handle. You get the exact number on the call.
The Proof Run has no setup fee and no management fee. You pay for the product on that first project and nothing else.
How long does an order take?
Production is typically 7 to 10 business days on standard apparel, starting once your mockup is approved and the order is paid or a school PO is in. A first project runs about three weeks from the first call to delivery, and an online ordering window adds its own length.
Rush is possible on some items. Your quote confirms the in-hand date, and if something is going to slip you hear it from us first.
When do I pay?
Once you approve the mockup. Orders under $1,000 are paid in full at that point, and orders of $1,000 or more start with a 50% deposit. Schools and districts can use an approved purchase order. Full details are in our Terms of Sale.
I already have a printer. Why would I need you?
A printer waits for an order. We are the department that plans what you need, sources it, handles the artwork and sizes, runs production through our own vetted decorators, and keeps the calendar, so you stop being the person in the middle of all of it.
What is the minimum order?
Low. Depending on the decoration method we can run as few as 12 pieces, which is why the Proof Run works for a small staff order and not just a hundred piece run.
Do I have to sign up for a program?
No. One time orders are welcome, with a 12 piece minimum. Request a quick quote and you get a number back within one business day. If it goes well and you want the year planned, we can talk about that then.
How do sizes and individual orders work?
For staff and internal orders we collect sizes once and keep them on file, so the next order does not restart the process. For member, student, or family orders we can run an ordering window or set up a branded online store so people order and pay for themselves.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No long term contract. The Proof Run is one project with no commitment to a second. You approve a quote and a mockup before anything is produced, and that is it. Merch Managed programs are month to month.
What if I do not like the work?
If the order does not match the proof you approved, we fix it at our cost. If you just decide we are not the right fit, you keep the product, the artwork files, and the documented specs, and we part ways. There is no contract to cancel.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Largo, FL and serve the whole Tampa Bay area, including Clearwater, Seminole, Pinellas Park, St. Petersburg, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Tampa, Brandon, and Wesley Chapel. Local bulk orders are delivered in person whenever possible. Online store orders can come in bulk, sorted by name, or shipped straight to each buyer.
What print methods do you use?
Whatever fits the job. Screen printing, embroidery, DTF, heat transfers, patches, and more. We pick the method based on your design, garment, quantity, and budget, and we tell you why. You approve the result, not the process.
Are you a local, veteran-owned business?
Yes. Merch Envy is an SBA certified veteran-owned small business based in Largo, FL. When you call, you reach a local person who knows your project, not a national call center.
