FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much do you charge for screen printing?

It depends on the number of shirts, number of prints per shirt, the number of colours per print, and the style of garment you choose.

 

Is there a minimum order?

The minimum order for custom screen printing is now 20 pieces

 

How big are standard and giant screens?

  • Standard Screen Size: Up to 13.5″ X 14.5
  • Giant Screen Size: Up to 14″ X 22″

Your maximum print size will depend on your smallest garment size (an additional $0.50/item)

 

What are the requirements for my artwork?

Screen printing requires vector artwork to assure a clean print. If you don’t have art files in vector format, don’t worry – we convert any file type to vector format for a flat fee of $30. However, depending on the complexity of your artwork, the cost of vectorizing may increase.

 

How will my artwork be sized and placed?

  • Full front location: The top of your design will be placed about 3-4 inches below the top of the collar and should not exceed 14 inches tall or wide on full shirt fronts (see below).
  • Full back location: The top of your design should be placed about 4-5 inches below the bottom of the collar. The typical size is 10.5-12.5 inches tall or wide. Anything under 8 inches generally looks too small on shirts above a size large. The maximum printable size is 14 x 14 inches (keep in mind that this size is abnormally large, and generally considered too big). We do have oversized pallets for larger custom prints, but using them may result in a price increase.
  • Prints on short sleeves: Sleeve prints on t-shirts are usually between 3 and 4 inches wide or tall.
  • Left chest: Left chest prints are usually between 3-5 inches below the top of the collar, and 3-4 inches wide or tall. If you are printing women’s style shirts, you may want the logo to be placed a little higher than usual so the logo rests on top of the female breast, instead of the front.

 

How do I pay?

Click the 'View Quote' button and review the information provided. When you are satisfied, click 'Approve Quote' (blue). After that, you will receive a payment request. All orders must be paid for in full in order to be considered a submitted order and for us to begin printing. We accept cash, cheques, and all major credit cards.

 

What is your turnaround time?

Standard turnaround is 10-15 business days after we receive full payment. The only exception to the 10 day turn-around is circumstances that are not in our control (ie. the manufacturer runs out of a product and places them on back-order.) In this case we keep you informed and also offer potential substitutes for what you have ordered. If we expect or foresee any other issues, we will be sure to let you know and work with you to rectify it.

 

Can I Get 100 T-Shirts With Two Separate Designs?

Yes, but we must price it as two separate 50 piece orders. 

 

What if I need you to use exact colours?

If you need exact colours, please provide the Pantone values you require and we can mix it for you at a charge of $10 per colour.
