Our Branded Apparel Program

One vendor. One process. Zero chaos.

First Light Clothing partners with companies and nonprofits to handle branded apparel and merch from start to finish. Whether you’re outfitting a team, launching a fundraiser, or prepping for an event, we make it simple, reliable, and repeatable.

Based in the central United States, we’re able to support organizations nationwide with faster, more predictable fulfillment - without sacrificing quality or care.

First Light coordinates branded apparel in partnership with a trusted local printer. We will manage product selection, artwork setup, approvals, and timelines. Production and fulfillment are handled by our printing partner, Gold Star Graphics.

What We Do

We’re not a print shop. We’re your apparel partner.

That means we help you:

  • Choose the right products for your team or campaign

  • Place logos and designs so they actually wear well over time

  • Manage production timelines and approvals

  • Coordinate bulk or multi-address shipping

  • Save your setup for easy reorders

You focus on your people. We handle the merch.

Who This Is For

This program is built for:

  • Nonprofits with staff, volunteers, chapters, or programs

  • Companies with multiple locations or growing teams

  • Schools, booster clubs, and community organizations

  • Event-driven teams that need reliable deadlines

If you need more than a one-off shirt - and want a vendor who remembers you - this is for you.

Our Core Apparel Kits

To keep things easy (and fast), we work from a curated core lineup that prints well, holds up, and reorders smoothly.

Typical options include:

  • Tees and long sleeves

  • Crewnecks and hoodies

  • Hats and totes

  • Quarter zips or polos

We’ll recommend a short list based on your goals, budget, and timeline - no endless catalogs or decision fatigue.

How It Works

Step One: Tell us what you need
You’ll complete a short intake form with your logo, quantities, deadline, and shipping needs.

Step Two: We guide the setup
We recommend products, confirm placements, and provide clean proofs for approval.

Step Three: Production + fulfillment
Once approved and paid, we handle production, quality checks, and shipping—either in bulk or to individual addresses.

Step Four: Easy reorders
Your items are saved as a “core kit” so future orders take minutes, not weeks.

Why First Light

  • Central U.S. fulfillment for faster nationwide delivery

  • Thoughtful product curation (not overwhelming options)

  • Clear timelines and communication

  • Experience supporting mission-driven organizations

  • A calm, human process that respects your deadlines

We believe branded apparel should feel supportive - not stressful.

Optional Add-Ons

Depending on your needs, we can also support:

  • Event or campaign-specific merch runs

  • Pre-orders to collect sizes before production

  • Fundraiser or community partner collaborations

  • Custom inserts or packaging for special moments

We’ll only recommend what makes sense for your project.
