Authorised Vendor Programme

A structured manufacturing programme for authorised Greek and collegiate apparel vendors.

Timepolo helps authorised Greek and collegiate merchandise sellers develop, sample and repeat-produce apparel with controlled decoration, private labelling and packaging.

The programme is designed for licensed merchandise suppliers, authorised Greek-apparel vendors and decorators managing chapter, event, campus or retail demand.

The vendor programme provides a defined route from product development and sample approval to trial orders and recurring production.

Product Development Develop garments around the required fabric, fit, construction, decoration and brand-finishing specifications.
Controlled Decoration Manage approved embroidery, appliqué, chenille, patches and printing through sampling and production.
Repeat Programmes Document approved product, artwork and packaging requirements to support future chapter, event and replenishment orders.

Vendor Quotation Inputs

What determines your programme quotation?

A reliable quotation is built from the approved product requirements—not a universal public price list.

Timepolo reviews the garment, material, decoration, quantity, labels, packaging, delivery destination and programme requirements before confirming commercial terms.

Product Fabric & GSM Decoration Artwork Quantity Packaging Shipping Basis

Product & Construction

Garment type, fit, measurements, panels, pockets, rib, closures and construction complexity affect development and production requirements.

Fabric & Materials

Composition, GSM, colour, knit or weave, trims, lining, washing and custom material requirements affect sourcing and production cost.

Decoration & Artwork

Embroidery, appliqué, chenille, patches, printing, artwork size, colour count and placement affect sampling and production.

Quantity, Packaging & Delivery

Order quantity, size breakdown, labels, individual packaging, cartons, destination and agreed shipping terms affect the final quotation.

Vendor Onboarding

From authorised product brief to repeat production.

The vendor programme creates a controlled route for reviewing the buyer, artwork, product, sample and commercial requirements before repeat production begins.

01

Business & Authorisation Review

Confirm the buyer’s business model, target market, programme requirements and right to use the submitted names, logos and protected marks.

02

Product & Sample Development

Review the garment, material, fit, decoration, labels and packaging before developing the required sample.

03

Trial Order

Confirm the approved specification, quantity, commercial terms, production timing and delivery arrangement for the initial order.

04

Repeat Programme

Maintain approved product, artwork, measurement and packaging references for future programme review.

Protected university, fraternity, sorority, team and institutional marks are developed only for buyers who confirm the appropriate ownership, rights or authorisation.

Each repeat order remains subject to material availability, quantity, colour approval and confirmed production timing.

Repeat Programme Control

Approved specifications support more reliable repeat orders.

Repeat production should use documented product and decoration requirements rather than relying only on memory or a previous physical sample.

Timepolo can retain approved programme references for future order review.

Product Specification Record

Measurements, fabric, GSM, construction, trims, labels and packaging requirements retained for programme reference.

Artwork & Decoration Control

Approved artwork, placement measurements, thread or appliqué colours and decoration method recorded for repeat review.

Reorder Confirmation

Quantity, size breakdown, material availability, colours, delivery date and commercial terms reconfirmed before each repeat order.

Repeat production remains subject to material availability, colour continuity, confirmed quantity and approved production timing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear programme terms before development begins.

MOQ depends on the product, material, custom colour, decoration method and production requirements.

Can Timepolo manufacture protected Greek or collegiate marks?
