When it comes to printing branded apparel, should you use a local shop or an online printer? In many cases, businesses and organizations want to save money so they order branded shirts or coffee mugs online.

Unfortunately, they often wind up spending more in the long run. Customers come to us in need of a redo for an order they placed online. The quality was substandard or the print didn’t turn out the way they thought it would.

Here at Charleston Cotton Exchange, we want you to get exactly what you ordered. That’s a tough promise for online print shops to keep.

Just because a company offers branded apparel and promotional products doesn’t mean your shirts will look like what you had in mind. Quality and accuracy matter. Items with your logo are a direct reflection of your business. Don’t settle for anything less than perfection.

It’s disappointing to open a box of shirts with the logo in the wrong place or write with a pen that leaves a trail of ink blobs on the paper.

Not to mention the frustration of wasting your precious time and money.

That’s why at Charleston Cotton Exchange, we offer personalized service and next level support. Our entire goal is to help you:

  • Stand out
  • Get noticed
  • Be memorable

If you’re considering an online vendor for apparel, here’s why a local shop like Charleston Cotton Exchange is the better choice.

Touch, feel and try on clothing

Come to our office to look at samples or try on clothing. You don’t have to wonder how the material might feel or guess on sizes. We also keep samples of the most popular brands like Carhartt, Nike, and Adidas.

And if you’re unsure about the best items for your budget, our team is available to walk you through the options and provide a quote while you wait.

Only the best vendors for our customers

We’ve vetted vendors and brands so we can recommend the highest quality products. Our team can help you compare apples to apples so you know you’re getting exactly what you order. You can also search our extensive online catalogs to get ideas.

Quick turnaround times

Most jobs are done within 12 to 15 business days. Schedule permitting, we can complete rush orders if you’re on a tight timeline.

Most apparel orders are printed or embroidered right on site so you can pick them up just as soon as they’re done.

Put a face with a name

Get your own dedicated sales representative to answer your questions and help you choose the right items for your business. That’s right. Actual humans, not chat bots or online forms.

Plus, we have in-house designers if you need assistance with a logo or graphic. You don’t have to wonder if you uploaded the right file type or size. We’ve got you covered!

Efficient process

We’ve fine tuned our process to ensure you get exactly what you ordered. We walk you through each step, including proofs and approvals so there aren’t any surprises.

Local delivery available

To make life easier, we’ve added a local delivery option. Don’t waste time sitting in traffic. Let us bring your items right to your business (order minimums apply for free delivery). 

These personalized touches really matter. When you’re working with a local printing company, you can ask questions, review proofs, and feel confident you’ll have exactly what you wanted when you open the box.

Don’t get burned by impersonal online vendors that offer subpar products and lackluster customer service. Work with a local company dedicated to making your business look great!
