We build your store, print locally, and send your PTA every dollar raised — no fees taken.

Based on years of buying spirit wear for our own children and having team members sit on PTA boards, we very much understand both the parent and school-side of spirit wear. Parents want affordable and easy-to-order spirit wear and the PTA wants an easy solution that maximizes funds raised.

Whether you’re a school administrator, the PTA President, a PTA board member, or simply an engaged parent, our spirit wear solution for your school will make things easy for parents and administrators in every way! 

We’ve detailed everything you need to know further below but would be happy to answer any additional questions you may have.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about pricing, timing, fulfillment, and store setup.

Finance & Budget

We don’t have a lot of budget — can we still do spirit wear?
Yes! We understand PTA budgets and can help find the right balance between quality and cost for your school.
Does Thredn make money off the spirit wear transactions?
No. We do not take any transaction fee or percentage cut of each order. Our pricing is built into the items themselves, and we don’t charge for store setup/management or design services (except logo creation from scratch).
How do we get our funds raised from spirit wear sales?
Based on what we agree on upfront, we remit funds in a reasonable timeframe after the ordering window closes (or on an agreed cadence for year-round stores).

Order Timing

Do we have to sell during a specific window, or can our store be open year-round?
Either works. Most schools run an ordering window (often at the start of the school year) so we can batch print/ship to the school. We can also build a year-round store for one-off orders.
Can you print everything we need before back-to-school night?
Yes. If you want to launch an order window before back-to-school night (or order in bulk to sell in-person), we can accommodate the timeline.

Order Fulfillment

Can we pick up our items from your location to save on shipping?
Yes. You can pick up batch orders from our Bountiful location by appointment.
Do you offer delivery for batch orders?
In some cases, yes—within a reasonable distance for a one-time charge. Reach out and we’ll confirm feasibility.
We need reprints, extras, or someone missed the order window — what do we do?
Just contact us. We can handle reprints, extras, and late orders quickly—no minimum order quantity required.
Do you offer any guarantees?
Yes. If anything isn’t right, reach out and we’ll work quickly to make it right.
We already have a website/store — can we use you as our printer?
Absolutely. If you want to keep your existing store, we can act as your printing/fulfillment partner.

Spirit Wear Store

Do users need to create an account to order?
No. Customers can check out as guests (accounts are optional).
Will Thredn market to our school community after they order?
No. We only send transaction-related emails needed to fulfill the order.

Free Design Services

What are the details of your free design services?
We provide free design support for your spirit wear items. Logo creation from scratch isn’t included, but we can do it for a reasonable fee.
Do you only work with the school logo?
Not at all. We can use your logo, student-designed concepts, classroom drawings, and more.
Do all shirts/spirit wear need to be the exact same?
No. We can do large batches (school-wide) or one-offs (like classroom-specific items) depending on your needs.
