Ordering hoodies for a team, a class, a company or a merch drop is mostly a maths problem: price per piece, how many of each size, which colours, and whether everything arrives before the deadline. This guide works through all four with live prices, so you can budget an order of 10 or 500 hoodies in a few minutes.
A blank Fruit of the Loom Classic hoodie (280 g/m², 80 % cotton / 20 % polyester) costs €20.95 at Marmalade Co. and €18.86 each from 5 pieces with the automatic 10 % discount, VAT included. With one flat €7 DHL fee, 10 hoodies cost approx. €195.55 (€19.56 each) and 100 approx. €1,892.50 (€18.93 each), delivered in 2–3 business days to 11 EU countries. Sizes XS–XXXL and colours can be mixed to reach the discount.
For blank hoodies the price per piece falls quickly and then flattens out. At Marmalade Co., our top pick for bulk orders without a trade account, the Fruit of the Loom hoodie costs €20.95 for one piece, 5 % less from 3 pieces and 10 % less from 5 pieces — €18.86 each. Because shipping is one flat €7 per order, the fee almost disappears in larger orders:
All prices include VAT, so the number above is what a club, school or small business actually pays. The live table below updates every week, together with the zip hoodie and the crewneck sweatshirt for comparison. If the budget is tight, the crewneck sweatshirt uses the same 280 g/m² fabric at a lower price per piece; the zip hoodie costs more but is often preferred for staff who wear it all day.
| Product | 1 pcs | 10 pcs | 50 pcs | 100 pcs | 250 pcs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crewneck sweatshirt | €23.95 €23.95 each | €159.55 €15.95 each | €769.75 €15.39 each | €1,532.50 €15.32 each | €3,820.75 €15.28 each |
| Hoodie | €27.95 €27.95 each | €195.55 €19.55 each | €949.75 €19.00 each | €1,892.50 €18.93 each | €4,720.75 €18.88 each |
| Zip hoodie | €34.95 €34.95 each | €258.55 €25.86 each | €1,264.75 €25.30 each | €2,522.50 €25.23 each | €6,295.75 €25.18 each |
Pick one model for the whole order. Mixing models means different fits, different shades of the "same" colour and a harder reorder later. The European range has four hoodies worth knowing:
| Model | Weight | Fabric | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Hooded Sweat (62-208) | 280 g/m² | 80 % cotton / 20 % polyester | Teams, classes, staff, merch — the standard bulk hoodie |
| Lightweight Hooded (62-140) | 240 g/m² | Cotton/polyester | Spring and summer events, layering |
| Premium Hooded (62-152) | — | 70 % cotton / 30 % polyester | Retail merch where feel matters more than price |
| Classic Hooded Sweat Jacket (62-062) | approx. 280 g/m² | Cotton/polyester | Workwear and staff who want a zip |
For most bulk orders the Classic Hooded Sweat is the right answer: warm enough for outdoor use, with Belcoro® yarn on the outside that gives a smooth surface for printing and embroidery, and the widest availability across sizes and colours. Our full hoodie guide compares the models in more detail.
Fruit of the Loom Classic hoodies in 9 colours and sizes XS–XXXL: €18.86 each from 5 pieces, VAT included, one flat €7 DHL fee and delivery in 2–3 business days.
See the hoodie at Marmalade Co. →The best size split is the one you collect from the people who will wear the hoodies. Ask for chest measurements or let people try a sample, then order to that list. If you have to guess — for example for merch or spares — a common starting point for a mixed adult group is:
This is a rule of thumb, not a statistic: a youth club skews smaller, a construction crew larger. Add two or three spares in M and L for late sign-ups. Fruit of the Loom hoodies are a regular unisex fit; the chest in cm runs roughly S 89–94, M 95–100, L 101–106 and XL 107–112. The size guide has the full chart and a note on shrinkage.
Blank hoodies from Marmalade Co. are dispatched within 0–1 business day and arrive in 2–3 business days by DHL, with tracking by e-mail. If the hoodies are going to a printer, add the printer's lead time — usually one to two weeks for screen printing or embroidery, sometimes longer in the busy weeks before school leavers' events and Christmas. For a deadline, work backwards: event date, minus printing time, minus a few days buffer, minus delivery. Our guide to class and team hoodies has a full ordering timeline.
Many buyers order blank hoodies and bring them to a local printer, because it lets them choose the cheapest garment route and the printer separately. Printing costs depend on the method, the number of colours and the quantity: screen printing gets cheap per piece from a few dozen hoodies upward, embroidery suits small logos on staff hoodies, and DTG or vinyl works for small runs and individual names. Ask the printer whether they accept supplied garments and whether they charge a handling fee. See our guide to clothing for printing for which technique fits which job.

Choose a product and quantity — the total includes the quantity discount (5 % from 3 pcs, 10 % from 5 pcs) and €7 shipping.
For orders of several hundred pieces, a VAT-registered business may also compare trade prices from textile wholesalers; our wholesale guide explains when that route is cheaper once VAT and cross-border shipping are added.

Hoodies from €18.86 each at 5+ pieces, VAT included, one flat €7 shipping fee and a price guarantee that matches an identical product found cheaper — Marmalade Co. is our top pick for bulk hoodie orders.
Order hoodies in bulk at Marmalade Co. →At Marmalade Co. 50 Fruit of the Loom Classic hoodies cost approx. €942.75 with the automatic 10 % quantity discount, plus one flat €7 DHL fee — approx. €949.75 delivered, or about €19.00 per hoodie, VAT included. Sizes and colours of the same hoodie can be mixed. Printing or embroidery is extra and depends on the method and number of colours.
For most buyers without a trade account, a retailer with quantity discounts is the cheapest practical route. Marmalade Co. sells the Fruit of the Loom hoodie at €18.86 each from 5 pieces, VAT included, with a flat €7 shipping fee and a price guarantee. VAT-registered businesses ordering several hundred pieces can also compare net prices from textile wholesalers.
Not at Marmalade Co.: you can buy one hoodie, and the discount starts at 3 pieces (5 %) and rises to 10 % from 5 pieces of the same product. Minimums usually come from printers, not garment sellers — screen printing often starts at around 10–25 pieces per design, while embroidery and DTG shops can do smaller runs at a higher price per piece.
The Classic Hooded Sweat (62-208) is the usual choice. It weighs 280 g/m², is 80 % cotton and 20 % polyester, and uses Belcoro® yarn on the outer surface, which gives a smooth base for screen printing, transfers and embroidery. It is also the most widely stocked model, which makes reorders in the same shade easier.
Marmalade Co. dispatches within 0–1 business day and delivers in 2–3 business days by DHL to 11 EU countries, with tracking by e-mail. If the hoodies are going to a printer, add one to two weeks for printing, and more in busy seasons such as the weeks before Christmas or school leavers' events.
Yes. At Marmalade Co. the quantity discount applies per product, so different sizes and colours of the same Fruit of the Loom hoodie count together towards the 3- and 5-piece thresholds. Mixing the hoodie with a different product, such as the zip hoodie or the sweatshirt, counts separately for each product.
