If you’re not sure where to start with your custom t-shirt, we can help you from square one, but if you do have an idea of what you want, we can get to the printing process started sooner if you keep the following things in mind when you start your order. The more detailed you are, the faster you’ll have your finished t-shirt in your hands!
The more you order, the cheaper per shirt it gets!
Keep in mind, we have a minimum order of 24 shirts for Screen Printing. If you want fewer shirts than that, we can print your shirt using Vinyl or Direct to Garment (DTG).
Do you want any particular brand or shirt style? Gildan Heavy Cotton? Next Level 3600? A Polo or Hoodie maybe? Maybe you want to provide your own shirts for printing. That’s cool, too!
What sizes do you need? 2XL and up cost a little bit more per shirt due to the extra materials, and if you’ve got Youth sizes mixed with Adult sizes, we’ll have to discuss how you want your design sized for both of them.
What color shirt do you want? Tell us what you want your design on and we’ll let you know what’s in stock.
This can be the trickiest part of the process: the design.
Let us know how many colors are in your design. The number of colors not only lets us determine a price, but the printing method as well.
It’s very important that you provide us with a clean, high-resolution image file of your design. We can make minor touch-ups, but if the image you provide us isn’t high enough quality, there’s not much we can do!
Here are some tips on providing us the best design file:
If you don’t have a design ready, you can always create one right through your browser with our online t-shirt creation tool.

|
Good for when you know exactly what you want. We can get started on your order as soon as you submit it. |
Good for more detailed requests, specialty printing, meeting specific deadlines, and any other questions you might have. A more hands-on approach. |
Once you’ve got a good idea of what kind of shirt you want, let us know and we can determine a price for you. You can send us an email, give us a call, or put in a request right through this very website. If you’ve got answers for all those questions above, we’ll be able to quickly respond with a price that’s right for you!
We’ll send you a quote and patiently wait for your response. If you’re on a budget, let us know and we can work with it to meet your needs. Once you’re satisfied with the price, we’ll send you an invoice for the final quote.
You can pay your invoice online or in person. After we receive the payment, we can start working on the artwork you’ve provided us.
After you’ve completed the payment and we have your design in hand, we’ll create a mock up of what the design will look like on the t-shirt of your choice. This is called a “proof,” I guess to prove to you that your design will look awesome on a tee. We’ll send you the digital artwork proof via e-mail.
Go over the proof very carefully, ensuring that the size and placement is correct and that there are no typos or art errors. Let us know if anything needs to be changed, as this is your last chance to ensure that the design is correct. Once we move on to the production process, it’s very difficult to make any changes.
Please stare at the proof long enough to know that this is exactly what you want. It’ll be fantastic, I’m sure! Approve the artwork and we can get started on the t-shirt of your dreams. After your approval, it’s usually too late to make any changes, but if we notice any outstanding issues, we’ll let you know.
The fun part begins. Your design hits production queue. It’ll soon be your design’s time in the spotlight with our expert printing crew. We’re excited, too!
When your print is finally done, we’ll let you know. Your shirts will be neatly stacked and packed and ready for shipping. If you want to save on cost and time, you’re more than welcome come pick up your order at our physical store location.
After the shirts are in your hand, you’re free to do what you want with your wonderful custom tee. Wear it, share it; make sure to take care of it! Whatever you do, we know you’ll be satisfied with the hard work we all put into it.
