Active Life is the everyday basic wear line behind a large share of the plain shirts and honeycomb polos worn across Mindanao, and it is one of the blanks we print on most often at our Tagum City shop. The brand now runs two tiers, the everyday Active Life range and the premium Elite range, across round necks, V necks, collared shirts, honeycomb polos, and a moisture moving Cool Dri fabric. This guide covers the current lineup, the full named color library, the fabric and size facts, and how to turn any of it into a printed uniform for a school, a company, or a reseller pack.
The brand positions itself on three simple promises: smart pricing that stays accessible, a color range wide enough for any team palette, and a resale friendly structure that works for small shops as well as large institutions. Its own tagline is Everyday Essentials, Made for Everyone, and the social handle runs the campaign line Color Your Life.
In practice that means a buyer can order one style in one color for a family set, or the same style in six colorways across four sizes for a whole department. Because the garments are built as basics first, the fabric holds print and embroidery well, which is exactly what makes them a good canvas for school shirts, company polos, and event tees.
We stock and print Active Life blanks at our Tagum City branches. If you are unsure whether a style suits your project, send us the use case and the headcount and we will recommend the right tier and fabric. See our plain T shirt range and custom polo shirts for the printing side.
Six core styles cover almost every basic wear requirement, from a plain everyday tee to a collared shirt that reads a step dressier. Each one is available in multiple colorways and takes print or embroidery.
The workhorse of the range. A unisex premium combed cotton round neck with a clean shoulder line and a straight body, offered from XS to 3XL in the main color series and from 4XL to 5XL in the extended size group.
It is the blank we recommend first for event shirts, PE tops, and family sets, because it prints well in every method and stacks neatly for bulk sorting.
The same combed cotton body with a V neckline, which suits layered looks and printed name plates that sit high on the chest. A common pick for resort wear, staff casual days, and hospitality uniforms.
Choose V neck over round neck when the design carries a chest logo that would otherwise sit close to the collar seam.
A short sleeve collared shirt in premium combed cotton, cut from XS to 3XL and grouped by color series. It sits between a T shirt and a formal polo, so it works for office casual, church groups, and school activity days.
It is the lighter option when a honeycomb polo feels too warm for the venue.
The textured honeycomb knit polo in a premium cotton blend, listed with around 30 available colors and cut from XS to 3XL. The brand itself flags it as suitable for daily wear and for company or school uniforms, which matches how our clients use it.
This is our default recommendation for corporate polos, barangay staff sets, and school faculty uniforms.
The same honeycomb knit shaped for a ladies cut, with a narrower shoulder and a tapered body. Color availability follows the men range closely, which makes matched his and hers uniforms easy to assemble.
Pair it with the men cut for couples sets, church choirs, and mixed gender staff rosters.
A moisture moving knit built for heat and movement, offered in a standard group and a premium group with a wider color count, cut from XS to 2XL. It dries fast and stays light when the wearer is outdoors.
Best for fun runs, sports fests, field crews, and any event held under the midday sun.
The brand splits its catalog into an everyday tier and a premium tier. Knowing which tier fits the brief keeps a quotation honest instead of accidentally quoting a premium blank for a giveaway shirt.
For a school, an office, a barangay, or a cooperative, the everyday Active Life tier is almost always the correct call. It holds its shape through a full year of weekly washing, the color range is broad enough to match an existing brand palette, and the price leaves room in the budget for the print. Reserve the Elite tier for retail merchandise and fashion led projects where the silhouette is the point.
Color is the reason most people pick this brand, so here is the full core chart as named swatches rather than a wall of comma separated text. Tap any shade name and use it in your brief, and remember that the wider brand catalog now runs to around 60 shades across all its lines, so a specific tone outside this core set can often still be sourced.
Printed charts and monitors disagree. The chart above is the scanned reference the brand distributes, and the swatches on this page are screen renderings of the same names, so neither is a color proof. A named shade is consistent between them, an actual color match is not.
For anything where the exact tone matters, such as a school whose colors are set by policy or a company matching a logo, order one piece in the shortlisted shade and approve it in daylight before the full run. That single sample costs far less than reprinting a bulk order, and it removes the guesswork from a supervisor sign off.
If your target tone is not in this core set, ask us. The catalog now reaches around 60 shades across the lines, and we can check current availability for the style you want. Our custom T shirt and polo shirt pages cover the print side.
Fabric choice decides how a uniform feels on the twelfth wash, not the first. Here is what each style is actually made of, and which size band it covers.
A plain Active Life shirt becomes a uniform the moment your logo lands on it. These are the three routes we run most often, and how to choose between them.
The navy and white panel polo above started as a stock honeycomb blank. The diagonal panel, the contrast collar tipping, and the chest emblem were all added in production, which is the normal shape of the work we do for corporate and school clients.
Because the panel is built from fabric rather than printed on top, it survives washing exactly as well as the base garment. That matters for a uniform that a staff member wears three times a week.
Send us your logo and a rough idea and we will return a mock up before anything is cut.
The right method for a company logo, a school seal, a name, or a position title. Embroidered work has a raised, durable finish that reads as formal, and it keeps its shape over years rather than months.
Silkscreen is the cheapest route once the quantity is high and the color count is low, which suits event tees and campaign shirts. DTF handles full color artwork and works on dark or colored garments, so it covers jobs that silkscreen cannot.
Where the design covers the whole garment, sublimation prints it into a synthetic fabric with no thickness and no cracking. It requires a pale or white polyester blank, so it pairs with the Cool Dri fabric rather than the cotton styles.
If you resell basic wear in a market stall or an online store, we can supply printed and embroidered packs on a repeatable specification, so every restock matches the last one. Tell us your target retail price and the size mix, and we will build the pack around it rather than quoting a single piece rate.
The brand publishes retail prices for its own stock, which we reproduce here as a reference so you can see where the tiers sit. Our price is different, because it includes the blank plus the print or embroidery work, and it is quoted per project.
Those four figures are the brand retail reference published on the official Active Life site, shown here in Philippine Pesos with approximate US Dollar, Euro, and British Pound conversions. The header currency switcher converts live and settles the cart in the currency you choose, so treat the converted figures as approximate rather than exact. Our own pricing covers the blank plus your print or embroidery and is quoted per order. What moves the number most is the quantity, because setup spreads across the run; then the print method and the number of colors; then the garment tier and the size mix. Send your headcount, your size breakdown, and your artwork, and we will return a written quotation with the unit cost so you can compare suppliers on an identical specification.
Our price, not the brand reference above
The same six steps whether you need five shirts or five hundred, and every order runs through a mock up before any fabric is cut.
Tell us the style, the quantity, the size breakdown, the color shade or shades, and whether you need a logo, a name, or a number. A photo of an existing shirt you like is often faster than a written description.
We digitise the artwork and send a digital mock up showing placement, size, and color on the actual garment. You approve the mock up, not a verbal description, so what you sign off is what gets produced.
Once the mock up is approved we lock the specification and issue the order confirmation with the unit cost and the lead time. Official BIR invoices are available for institutional and government clients.
The blanks are pulled, sorted by size, and printed, embroidered, or sublimated according to the approved mock up. Bulk runs are scheduled against your event date so the delivery lands ahead of the deadline.
Every piece is checked for print registration, stitching, and the correct size label, then packed by size so distribution on the ground is quick. Multi site orders can be packed as separate bundles per branch.
Collect from either Tagum City branch, or we ship through a nationwide courier. Direct bus cargo reaches Davao, Cagayan de Oro, and General Santos quickly, and we confirm the schedule with you before dispatch.
The questions buyers ask most often about Active Life basic wear and about printing on it.
Active Life is the everyday tier, built for volume with premium combed cotton round necks, V necks, and collared shirts, plus the honeycomb cotton blend polo. Elite by Active Life is the premium tier, described by the brand as elevated everyday essentials, and it leans fashion with oversized fits, an acid wash finish, a raglan cut, a heavier cotton option, and a cropped top. For uniforms and giveaways the everyday tier is the practical choice. For retail merchandise where the silhouette is the selling point, the Elite tier fits better.
The classic core chart carries 30 named shades, from Black, Navy Blue, and Royal Blue through the greens, yellows, pinks, earth tones, and grays to White. The wider brand catalog now reaches around 60 shades across all its lines, so a specific tone outside the core set can often still be sourced. Named shades are consistent between the printed chart and the physical garment, but the exact color on your screen is not a proof, so order a sample piece when the tone matters.
Yes. The adult range runs from XS up to 5XL, with the main color series covering XS to 3XL and an extended group covering 4XL and 5XL. The Cool Dri styles run XS to 2XL, and the oversized Elite silhouettes run XS to XL because of the deliberately loose cut. Kids sizing is separate and runs from size 10 up to size 22, so always size children on the kids scale rather than sizing down an adult shirt.
That is the main way our clients use them. The fabric holds up to repeated washing, the color range is broad enough to match an existing brand palette or a school color, and the price point leaves room in the budget for the print or embroidery. The honeycomb polo in particular is flagged by the brand itself as suited to company and school uniforms, and it takes an embroidered logo cleanly. We also supply company uniforms and school uniforms built on these blanks.
Yes, and we match the method to the garment. Embroidery is best for a company logo, a school seal, a name, or a position title, especially on polos and collared shirts. Silkscreen is the cheapest route at volume for flat spot colors, while DTF handles full color and dark or colored garments. Sublimation is limited to pale or white synthetic blanks, so it pairs with Cool Dri rather than the cotton styles. Send your artwork and we will recommend the method, then send a mock up for approval.
The honeycomb polo is a premium cotton blend in a textured knit with a collar and a buttoned placket, so it reads a step dressier than a T shirt and works for an office or a school faculty uniform. The plain round neck is combed cotton jersey, lighter, more casual, and cheaper, which makes it the better fit for event shirts, PE tops, and giveaway items. If the wearer will meet clients, choose the polo. If the shirt is for a crowd or a one day event, choose the plain round neck.
We are based in Tagum City with branches here and reach the rest of the country by courier, with direct bus cargo into Davao, Cagayan de Oro, and General Santos. Turnaround depends on the quantity and the method, and a short run can move in a couple of working days while a bulk uniform set is scheduled against your event date. Tell us your deadline when you inquire and we will confirm whether it can be met before you commit to the order.
Send the style, the quantity, the size breakdown, the color shade, and your artwork or a reference photo. We will return a mock up direction and a written quotation with the unit cost and the lead time.
The lineup, size range, color library, and reference prices on this page come from the official Active Life brand site as published in September 2026, and the brand can change colors, sizes, and prices without notice, so confirm the current shade and stock with us before you finalize a bulk order. The screen swatches above are renderings of the named shades, not a physical color proof. The four currency figures are approximate conversions from Philippine Pesos and the header currency switcher converts live at checkout, so treat them as a reference rather than a quotation.
