What is PSST (Pack Separately, Ship Together)?

Technical definition, shop floor implications, and pricing strategies for commercial apparel decorators.

Quick Definition

SanMar and apparel distributor fulfillment programs that pack blank goods organized by specific customer job order and ship them with free freight directly to decorators.

Deep Dive & Practical Application

Through SanMar PSST and similar supplier programs (like S&S Activewear Freight integrations), blank garments ordered for specific jobs are boxed and labeled by customer PO number and delivered on daily dedicated freight trucks with zero freight charges.

API-integrated shop management software syncs supplier inventory levels in real time, automatically creates purchase orders, and alerts the receiving department when shipments arrive.

Shop Floor & Profitability Impact

Free PSST freight and automated electronic PO check-in save custom apparel shops thousands of dollars each year in shipping fees and receiving labor.
