NEXT LEVEL APPAREL

The #1 wholesale producer and seller of premium quality blank apparel. We know that a t-shirt is more than a piece of clothing - it's a way of connecting to your communities. It's their business.

Our comfort. Your style.

Our comfort. Your style.

OUR ROOTS


In 2003, we put our stamp on the map as a blank apparel pioneer in the promotional products industry by answering the call to our customers’ need for a t-shirt that can sublimate well. It needed to be lightweight and comfortable for people to wear but have a smooth surface and poly heavy for sublimation. After many trial and errors, we created the 65% poly 35% combed ring-spun cotton fabric and the first Next Level style became the 6200 Unisex Festival tee.

Our passion for exceptional craftsmanship catalyzed the development of more styles and ultimately formed the Next Level Apparel brand - putting our customers first by delivering high quality premium blank apparel that’s soft and prints smoothly. We set out to make it our ongoing mission to make the best apparel for everyone.
