1. Garments

What kind of garment are you looking to have printed?  Are these shirts going to be retail-quality tees for sale, or maybe some promo give-away tote bags? Answering these questions will help you in choosing the appropriate blank, often both the biggest quality and price determining aspect of the print job. As we are a small shop juggling production for our own brand,  we ask for 72 pc. minimum orders as to ensure the cost-effectiveness of the order.

If you need some ideas of what can be printed, check out the websites of some of our more popular wholesale suppliers & local distributors to get a sense of what’s available:

2. Artwork + Design

Already have a design?

Great! Designs must be submitted as vector artwork [.ai] with colors separated by layers, or hi-res [300+ DPI] .pdf or .psd image files. We'll then make a digital mock-up (at no extra cost!) to confirm size + placement. (Also note max artwork size for a standard screen is 12in. x 16in, though larger screens are available). 

Need some help?

Also Great! We do offer in-house graphic design if you’d like us to alter logos, scan previous designs, separate colors, make tags, or come up with something totally new from scratch!  Send us an email to describe your project + get the ball rolling!

3. Ink + Printing

There are three main types of ink that we use, each with its own benefits & drawbacks:

Plastisol - the typical go-to standard, plastisol is great for making bright colors pop on dark garments, as well as holding super-fine details. (Pantone color matching available upon request)

Water-based - a very soft feel after washing, yet is a little less opaque than plastisol, and lighter colors may require flash drying on dark garments.

Discharge - the “softest” ink available, after washing the application becomes nearly indistinguishable from the garment, yet due to the nature of this ink it is only available on 100% cotton garments and has a slight price increase

SPECIALITY INKS

INK TYPEAMOUNT EXTRA PER HIT
Puff Additive $0.30
Discharge Ink $0.25
Flash Drying $0.25
Foil Adhesion $3.00

4. Schedule + Payment

Arguably the most important part of the process, we want you to have your awesome, newly printed goods as much as you do!

A 50% deposit (to cover cost of garments) is expected upon confirmation job details, so we can order blanks + begin printing. The remaining balance is expected upon completion. Preferred check or money order. 

*please note 3-4 week turn-around time for trucker hats, beanies, and other customized headwear*
