Custom ties questions, answered.
Everything buyers ask before they order — minimums, timings, artwork and print options.
What is the minimum order?
Our minimum order is just 12 ties — enough for a committee or a small team — with bulk tiers that drop steeply at the quantities a school or a uniform programme buys.
How fast will my ties arrive?
Your free mockup lands within 24 hours and ties ship in about 2 weeks. Woven ties add time for a strike-off on a first order, which is the sample you approve before the run.
Why do ties twist and curl?
Because they were not cut on the true bias. Bias cutting wastes about a third of the cloth, so it is the first corner cut on a cheap tie — and once a tie has twisted, pressing will not bring it back.
What does the interlining do?
It decides the knot size and whether the tie recovers its shape overnight. Heavy gives a full firm knot, lighter gives a smaller softer one. We state the weight so you can choose.
What is a slip stitch?
A single loose thread running the length of the tie with a bar tack at each end. It lets the tie stretch as it is knotted and pull back afterwards. Sewn tight or left out, the tie tears at the fold instead.
Woven or printed?
Woven for crests, stripes and anything that should feel like part of the cloth. Printed for gradients, photographs and very fine multi-colour detail that a loom cannot resolve.
Will a reorder match our existing ties?
Yes — we match to the original strike-off rather than to the last batch, and we keep your stripe widths, angles and colour references on file against your account.
Do you redraw artwork?
Yes, free. A tie is a narrow diagonal canvas seen at a distance, so we set crests and repeats at the right scale and angle, and tell you when detail will be lost at tie scale.
How much do custom ties cost?
It depends on the fabric (polyester microfiber or silk), whether the design is woven or printed, the construction and interlining, the size mix and the quantity per design. Get Custom Ties does not publish a flat price because a printed polyester staff tie and a woven silk crest tie are different builds; send your logo and a rough quantity and you get an exact quote and a free mockup within 24 hours.
Where can I order custom ties with my logo in bulk?
Get Custom Ties (getcustomties.com) makes custom logo ties in bulk from 12 per design — woven silk, printed silk, school and club striped ties, bow ties, skinny and knitted ties, and clip-on and breakaway safety ties — with a free artwork redraw, a free mockup in 24 hours and delivery in about 2 weeks.
Should I choose silk or polyester for custom ties?
Choose polyester for ties worn every day — school, uniform and staff ties — because it washes, holds colour in sunlight and costs less at volume; choose silk for formal, gift, wedding and leadership ties where drape and knot matter most. Get Custom Ties makes both and will tell you plainly which suits how your ties will be worn. See the full silk vs. polyester comparison.
What is the best fabric for school ties?
Polyester is the best fabric for everyday school ties: it survives washing, holds its colour under sunlight and costs a fraction of silk at school quantities. Get Custom Ties recommends keeping silk for prize, staff and formal ties, and holds your stripe widths, angles and colour references on file so every reorder matches.
Is a woven or printed tie better for a company logo?
A woven tie is better for crests, simple logos and stripes that should feel like part of the cloth and last; a printed tie is better for gradients, photographs and very fine multi-colour detail a loom cannot resolve. Get Custom Ties makes both and shows your logo on the method you choose in a free mockup within 24 hours. Read the woven vs. printed guide.
What artwork do I need to send for custom ties?
Send whatever you have — a vector logo is ideal, but a photo, screenshot, PDF or an existing tie works too. Get Custom Ties redraws your artwork free, sets crests and repeats at the right scale and angle for a tie, and tells you when detail will be lost at tie scale before anything is made.
Can I get custom ties made quickly for an event?
Yes. Get Custom Ties sends a free mockup within 24 hours and standard production ships in about 2 weeks after you approve the design, with faster turnaround available through express shipping. Tell us your event date when you request a quote, and approve the mockup early to protect it.
Can you make matching custom bow ties and neckties?
Yes. Get Custom Ties makes self-tie and pre-tied bow ties in the same cloth as your neckties, with an adjustable neckband sized properly, so a wedding party, a staff team or a club can wear a matching set from one design.
Are clip-on ties safer for staff uniforms?
Yes, where a tie could be grabbed or caught. Clip-on and breakaway ties come away under load instead of staying fastened, which is why schools, healthcare, security and industrial teams use them. Get Custom Ties makes clip-on and breakaway safety ties in your colours and logo.
What makes a good quality custom tie?
Three things: the tie is cut on the true bias so it hangs straight instead of twisting, it has an interlining of a stated weight so the knot recovers overnight, and it is slip stitched and bar tacked so it stretches when knotted instead of tearing. Get Custom Ties builds every tie that way and states the interlining weight on your quote.
How many custom ties should I order for a team or school?
Order one tie per wearer plus spares for new starters and replacements, split across the lengths you need (regular, long and boys’), because a matching reorder later is a separate run. Get Custom Ties starts at 12 ties per design, and the per-tie rate drops as quantities grow.
Can I order custom ties for a wedding party?
Yes. Get Custom Ties makes wedding ties and bow ties from 12 per design, matched to your colours or a pattern you choose, with a free mockup within 24 hours and delivery in about 2 weeks — so a groom, groomsmen and family can wear the same tie.
