Yes. The minimum printing quantity for screen-printing is 12 pieces (of the same design). You can mix and match different types of apparel as long as the size and colors of the design remain the same. Screen-printing is not the most cost-effective way to personalize smaller orders, however, and the price-per-piece is less expensive for larger orders.

For screen-printing, a vector file (.ai) of your artwork is required. If you do not have a vector file, you can submit your artwork to us in a JPG, PNG, SVG or PDF format and we can digitize the file for an additional fee. 

If you do not have artwork or if your current artwork needs minor edits, we can help you to create your vision. Artwork development or editing fees are based on size and level of detail.

Every time you place a screen-printing order, you will incur setup fees to create and stretch the screens, mix the ink and set the machines.  These fees are based on number of colors, sizes and locations. Each color, size and location require one unique screen. For example, you would like your 4-color logo to be printed on sweatshirts on the left chest (approximately 4″), the full back (approximately 10″) and the right sleeve. The imprint on the right sleeve will only be one color.  You will incur the following setup fees: 

Left chest x 4 colors = 4 screens x $30 = $120

Full back x 4 colors = 4 screens x $30 = $120 

Right sleeve x 1 color = 1 screen x $30= $30

Total Setup Fees: $270

When painting, you would never attempt to cover dark walls with white paint without first using a primer.

When printing on dark colors, we use a “flash” process that is similar to priming.  By flashing a white underbase before printing the final colors on a dark surface, the white ink can achieve better coverage and brightness, ensuring that the colors on top appear vibrant and true to their intended shade.  This two-step process costs slightly more than projects that do not require a flash.

Due to the nature of the screen-printing process, there are occasions when items are damaged or mis-printed. As a result, we cannot take responsibility for items that are brought into us for screen printing. We have access to several distributors and brands for quality apparel and promotional items at competitive pricing. We prefer that all items be purchased through us, however in the rare occasion that we accept outside apparel, the customer accepts the risk that their items might be damaged without replacement.

Yes! We currently work with several businesses as a sub-contractor, providing screen-printing and embroidery services to expand their service offerings to their customer base.

1. Your physical location does not have the space or capacity for screen-printing or embroidery machine setups.

2. Your customers are interested in screen-printing or embroidery but you do not have the knowledge of the techniques and processes to achieve professional results worthy of your business name.

3. You do not have the time or staffing resources to dedicate to expanding into these areas.

4. You understand that working with a professional screen-printer or embroidery team adds value to your business and customers.
