Can I order a sample first?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer sample runs so you can see and feel the quality before committing to a full order. Sample pricing includes setup fees.

Can I mix sizes in one order?

Accepted Answer

Yes - you can mix any sizes within the same garment style and color. Size upcharges may apply for 2XL and above.

Question 6

How is pricing determined?

Pricing depends on: quantity, print method, number of colors/stitches, number of print locations, garment type, and any finishing services (folding, labeling, etc.).

Question 7

Screen printing has a $25 per-color, per-screen setup fee, and reorders of the same design reuse your screens for free. Embroidery has a one-time $45 digitizing fee. DTF has a $15 per-location setup. DTG has no setup fee.

Question 8

Do you charge for artwork/design help?

Accepted Answer

Artwork services are quoted case-by-case. Custom design from scratch, complex recreations, and vector conversions of detailed artwork have artwork fees that depend on the scope of work. Minor tweaks may be included at our discretion based on the order. We will let you know upfront before any artwork charges are added to your quote.

Question 9

Is tax included in quotes?

Accepted Answer

California sales tax (10.5%) applies to the garment cost only - not to printing services. Tax is itemized separately on your invoice.

Question 10

Do you offer rush pricing?

Accepted Answer

Rush production may be available case-by-case depending on the job, your in-hands date, and our current production schedule. Rush surcharges are quoted per project - the percentage scales with how aggressively we need to compress the timeline. Contact us with your deadline and we will tell you what is feasible.

Question 11

What is the typical turnaround time?

Accepted Answer

Turnaround depends on order size, decoration method, design complexity, and our current production schedule. Most orders run on a 7-10 business day timeline after proof approval, with larger or complex jobs taking longer. We confirm a target ship date with you before production begins.

Question 12

Do I get a proof before production?

Accepted Answer

Always. We send a digital proof for every order. Production starts only after your written approval.

Question 13

What if I don't like the proof?

Accepted Answer

We'll revise it until you're happy - no extra charge for reasonable revisions. We want it perfect before we print.
