Campus Collection

What Campus Collection does

Campus Collection is a wholesale B2B custom apparel company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The company specializes in screen-printed and designed clothing — including t-shirts, hoodies, ladies apparel, Dri Fit shirts, hats, accessories, staff uniforms, children's clothing, and corporate apparel — produced in-house on M&R screen printing equipment. Its core differentiators are a free in-house art department for custom design, a Ready Stock Program that warehouses pre-printed inventory for up to six months with SKU-level tracking, and direct-to-location shipping for multi-chain restaurant and hospitality clients.

The business model is direct B2B sales-led, targeting corporate businesses, restaurant and hospitality chains, service businesses, sports teams, and schools throughout the United States and Caribbean (including the US and British Virgin Islands). Revenue is generated primarily through one-time custom production orders at unit pricing with minimum order quantities of 144 pieces (1-6 imprint colors) or 300 pieces (7-12 colors), supplemented by specialty services (glitter/metallic/puff inks, folding, bagging, hang tags, UPC barcodes, private relabeling) and the recurring Ready Stock replenishment program. Shipping is billed separately, and a wide distribution footprint of 30+ apparel brand partnerships (Comfort Colors, Next Level, Gildan, Bella+Canvas, Cotton Heritage, Richardson, etc.) supports product breadth.

The company operates from a single Tuscaloosa headquarters with warehouse capacity for the Ready Stock Program, runs no disclosed funding rounds, and is privately held with no parent company. It maintains an affiliated brand relationship with Bama Gridiron, an officially licensed Alabama apparel distributor. Marketing is primarily through the company website, Facebook, Instagram, and direct phone/email outreach — a low-overhead, relationship-driven GTM consistent with a 11-50 employee private business in the custom apparel services market.
