Quote in 48h. ## Professional team T-shirts in Guadeloupe: brief, proof, and delivery — all coordinated by Kimoun Businesses, associations, tourism operators, events: 3 T-shirt ranges in batches, from 10 pieces. Whether you're in Guadeloupe, Martinique, or another Caribbean island, Kimoun handles the brief, fabric choice, artwork adaptation or creation, print proof, production, and delivery. **One point of contact, from first exchange to distribution.** And if your team grows, unit reorder is available — no need to re-launch a full minimum. - Precise quote within 48 working hours, no commitment - Unit reorder available — no new minimum to re-launch - Advice on crew neck / V-neck, DTF (Direct to Film) or embroidery for your use case ## High minimums, mainland delays, impossible reorders — nobody really handles small runs Four blockers Kimoun hears every week, that make teams across the Caribbean give up on professional-looking apparel. ### They tell you the minimum is 100 T-shirts For an association of 30 members, a team of 15 technicians, an event with 40 attendees: **classic minimums make no sense**. You over-order by default, the surplus sits in a cupboard and ends up at the bottom of a box six months later. **Impact** : You pay for 100 T-shirts of which 60 will never be worn — and you hesitate to order again. ### You don't know which fabric to choose for your outdoor team Heavy or lightweight cotton? Crew neck or V-neck? DTF (Direct to Film) or embroidery? Each technique has its own look, price, durability — but **nobody takes the time to explain**. You choose blind, sometimes the wrong option for your use (180g cotton under the Guadeloupe sun gets hot fast). **Impact** : The wrong fabric or finish = an uncomfortable team and T-shirts nobody wants to wear. ### Reordering means placing a whole new order You launched 30 T-shirts for your association. Two new members join six months later. Result: **new 50-piece minimum, new lead time, new quote**. You start from scratch for 2 pieces. The outcome: a stock of T-shirts nobody knows what to do with, and two members without team kit. **Impact** : Every reorder becomes a project in its own right — expensive, time-consuming, discouraging. ### Ordering from mainland France = 4 weeks + shipping + customs surprises 3 to 5 weeks lead time, shipping costs that eat into the budget, customs uncertainty, risk of damage on arrival. And if one detail is wrong, the lead time starts over. **The T-shirts arrive after the event** — or not at all in the expected condition. **Impact** : You lose control of your communication schedule to a logistics chain nobody is really coordinating. ## A T-shirt matched to every use, from construction sites to client-facing teams Three ranges calibrated for the everyday needs of businesses and associations in Guadeloupe and across the Caribbean. Tourism operators — guesthouses, dive centers, tour guides — will find the right range for staff uniforms and event apparel. Plus a premium polo/embroidery range for management and hospitality use. All batches include advice, digital proof, and coordinated delivery. ### Équipe Essentiel — robust cotton, accessible price **Pre-shrunk cotton 180 g/m²** (Gildan 5000 or equivalent).

Standard crew neck. For V-neck needs — Gildan 64V00 or equivalent, available on request. **Ideal for**: construction sector teams, landscaping crews, sports clubs, event staff, sports associations — wherever the T-shirt is a work tool before it is a brand statement. *Indicative price: from €15 ex.

Kimoun recommends the right range (Essentiel, Confort, Performance or Premium), the marking type (DTF or embroidery), and the optimal order threshold. Firm quote sent within 48h. **Étape 2** : Artwork adaptation or creation — Ready-to-print vector file? It is checked and validated (Print-Ready, included). Logo to adapt or artwork to create? Kimoun handles the graphic work under the chosen package. **Digital proof sent for written approval** before any production launch — no surprises. **Étape 3** : Physical sample (from 25 pieces) — For orders from 25 pieces, a physical sample is produced and shipped before the run is launched. You validate the real result (colours, placement, fabric feel). Amendments are possible before full production starts. **Étape 4** : Production and coordinated delivery — Production via the Printify network (Europe) for standard runs, or via a local workshop for urgent or specific needs. Orders of 15 pieces and above go through the Kimoun hub Le Moule for quality control and packing before distribution. **Free delivery across Guadeloupe and Martinique.** ## One point of contact, a dual network, and POD (print-on-demand) logic for reorders **Dual network: Printify (EU) + local craftspeople in Guadeloupe** : For standard runs, Kimoun uses **European suppliers** (Printify) for the best rates and lead times. For urgent needs or bespoke finishes, **local craftspeople** take over. You do not have to choose — Kimoun picks the right network for your need. **One point of contact from brief to delivery** : You only speak to Kimoun. A single point of contact for fabric selection, artwork, proof, production, logistics, and delivery. **No handoffs between a separate designer, printer, and carrier** — everything is coordinated. **On-site presence at Le Moule, free delivery across Guadeloupe and Martinique — coordination available for other Caribbean islands** : Based in Le Moule, Kimoun maintains a **real local presence** — in-person meetings available for larger projects, quality control and distribution hub for orders of 15 pieces or more. Free delivery everywhere in Guadeloupe and Martinique. For businesses in other Caribbean islands, Kimoun coordinates shipping — contact us to discuss your logistics. **WhatsApp support on French Caribbean hours** : No ticket routed to a mainland call centre in a different time zone. WhatsApp as the main channel, responses **on French Caribbean hours** — a point of contact who understands your local schedule, your events, and your constraints. ## The 30-member sports club that wanted to welcome 5 new members every year Starting point: a sports association of 30 members, active for several years. They want matching team T-shirts for everyone — a strong sign of belonging for their members. Problem with a standard printer: **minimum 100 pieces**, 8-week lead time, and above all — **no solution for the 5 new members joining every year**. Either over-order at launch (70 T-shirts sitting in storage), or re-launch a full 100-piece order for 5 people. **With Kimoun Équipe — POD (print-on-demand) model.** Initial order of 30 pieces (Équipe Essentiel range, white crew neck + embroidered chest logo) — exactly what the existing team needs. Reorder of 5 pieces each autumn at enrolment. The unit cost is slightly higher than on a 100-piece run, but **the total over 3 years is significantly lower** — and most importantly: every new member receives the exact same T-shirt as the existing ones. No dead stock. No waste. No reorder project pushed back indefinitely. **POD (print-on-demand) logic applied to team reordering, coordinated locally.** > **Unit reorder is not a marginal option — it is the central argument of Kimoun Équipe.** No local screen printer can offer you 5 T-shirts in the same reference as your order from last year. Kimoun can. ## Is your logo ready to print? ## Everything you want to know before ordering your team T-shirts ### Which fabric should I choose for a team working outdoors in the sun? For outdoor work in Guadeloupe, two options depending on budget and comfort expectations. **Équipe Essentiel in V-neck** (lightweight cotton 145–150 g/m²): the V-neck improves ventilation, lighter weight than standard crew neck — a good price/comfort trade-off for construction sector crews, landscaping teams, field agents. **Équipe Performance** (breathable technical polyester): active moisture-wicking, fast-drying — ideal for intense physical activities or highly mobile teams. When in doubt, a **5-piece sample pack** lets you compare both fabrics in hand before ordering the full run. ### How long from order to delivery? Two logistics paths depending on volume. **Under 15 pieces (direct drop-ship)**: production in Europe + direct shipping to you — estimated lead time 12 to 21 days after proof approval. **15 pieces and above (hub Le Moule)**: production + transit to the Kimoun hub Le Moule + quality control + local distribution — estimated 8 to 15 days after arrival at Le Moule (18 to 30 days total from proof approval). These are reference estimates — they depend on the production provider and the period. Kimoun gives you a firm lead time in the quote. ### A new member is joining the team in 6 months — can we order for just one person? Yes — that is precisely the central advantage of Kimoun Équipe. Reordering is possible from 1 piece, in the same reference as your original order (same fabric, same colour, same artwork). The unit cost of a very small reorder is higher than on the original order (volume logic), but the principle holds: **you do not need to wait until you have 10 new requests before re-launching**. Your new member receives exactly the same T-shirt as the rest of the team. ### Why a minimum of 10 pieces and not 1 piece? The 10-piece threshold is necessary to absorb production and shipping costs per piece in a commercially coherent way. Below 10 pieces, the unit cost becomes disproportionate and the quote loses its commercial rationale. **Exception: the 5-piece sample pack** — that is a paid test product, designed to validate fabric and print before launching a run. It is not equivalent to a series order. ### Does the marking hold after frequent washing in tropical conditions? Wash durability depends on the marking technique and the fabric. **DTF (Direct to Film)**: excellent colour finish, good wash durability at 30–40°C, avoid tumble drying. **Embroidery**: the most durable option for washing — virtually unalterable. **Screen printing**: very good durability for large runs using plastisol inks. Kimoun systematically offers a **sample pack before any run** — you receive pieces to test yourself (washing, friction, sun drying) before approving full production. ### Do you print in Guadeloupe or on the mainland? Honest answer: **textile production is carried out in Europe** (Printify network — workshops in Poland, UK, and continental EU), not in Guadeloupe. Kimoun coordinates the complete chain — brief, artwork, proof, order, logistics tracking, distribution hub at Le Moule — and guarantees quality on receipt. For urgent needs or very specific finishes (sublimation, local screen printing), Kimoun draws on its network of local craftspeople in Guadeloupe. Both networks are complementary — you do not have to choose. ### How does billing work for a business? VAT, customs duty? All Kimoun Équipe prices are **ex. VAT Guadeloupe prices** — import duty (customs duty on goods entering the French overseas territories) and shipping costs are included in the pricing, **not shown as separate line items on your invoice**. You receive a compliant invoice with the ex. VAT amount, Guadeloupe VAT (8.5% standard rate), and the VAT-inclusive total. For businesses in Martinique, adapted billing accounts for the rules of the French Caribbean single market. For businesses in mainland France, the DOM VAT exemption applies. If you have any doubt about your specific tax situation, note it in your quote request. ### I'm based in Martinique or another Caribbean island — can Kimoun still handle my order? Yes. Kimoun delivers free of charge to Guadeloupe and Martinique. For other Caribbean islands — Dominica, Saint Lucia, Antigua, Saint Martin, Barbados, Grenada, and others — Kimoun coordinates shipping and gives you a precise delivery estimate and logistics cost in your quote. Most of the project process (brief, artwork, proof, validation) is handled remotely with no impact on quality. Tell us your island when you request your quote and we will frame the logistics accordingly.
