Union Printing Requirements
Unions often have specific purchasing standards, especially when it comes to sourcing labor, goods, and materials. At Shirt.Co, we know what matters to union organizations—and we follow through. We source US-made garments whenever possible and complete every job locally, right here in St. Louis, Missouri. If you’re looking for high-quality union-compliant apparel, you’ve come to the right place.
To offer true union printing, a shop has to meet certain requirements. All Shirt.Co employees are members of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) Allied Printing Union, Local 6300. That gives us the credentials to serve unions across all industries nationwide.
Every union printing order we produce includes a certified union bug. That small mark means your apparel was made by union hands using union-approved practices—and that your dollars are supporting local workers, fair wages, and union craftsmanship.
Union Printing Orders
We handle a wide range of union orders—from durable workwear and uniforms to event giveaways and branded swag. Our clients include employers outfitting union crews, union halls gifting commemorative gear, and individuals buying direct to show their pride.
Shirt.Co has proudly served countless local union organizations, including:
- Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 562
- UAW Local 2250 — Autoworkers at the GM plant
- IAFF Local 2665 — Firefighters across Greater St. Louis
- Sheet Metal Workers Local 36
If you’re a union member looking for custom apparel, talk to your leadership about placing an order with Shirt.Co. We’re ready to help you represent your trade with quality, union-made gear.
