1. What is the minimum order quantity for screen printing?
Our minimum order for screen printing is typically 25 units. For smaller orders, we may recommend other printing options, like direct-to-film (DTF) printing.
2. What type of file should I provide for the best print quality?
We recommend vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) as they provide the best quality and scalability. For raster files (JPEG, PNG), please ensure they are high-resolution (at least 300 DPI) and sized correctly.
3. How many colors can I include in my design?
Screen printing is most cost-effective for designs with fewer colors, as each color requires a separate screen, which increases setup costs. We recommend limiting designs to 1-4 colors, but we can accommodate up to 9 colors if needed. For designs with many colors, we suggest ordering higher quantities or considering direct-to-film (DTF) printing, as both options help manage costs effectively.
4. How long will my order take?
Turnaround time depends on order size and complexity. Standard orders typically take 7-14 business days after design approval. Rush options may be available for an additional fee. For clients in our retainer program, we offer priority service, meaning certain orders can be bumped to a 1-3 day turnaround to meet urgent needs.
5. Can I make changes to my design after placing the order?
Once we begin production, changes cannot be made. To avoid issues, please carefully review your design proof before finalizing your order. If you need assistance with edits before production, let us know as soon as possible.
6. Do you offer eco-friendly ink options?
While we don’t use water-based inks, as they contain chemicals like formaldehyde and have short expiration periods, we use responsible practices and offer sustainably sourced garments. Our inks are chosen for their durability and quality.
7. What’s the best way to care for screen-printed apparel?
For best results, wash screen-printed items in cold water and turn them inside out. Avoid bleach and harsh detergents, and hang dry when possible. This will help preserve the colors and longevity of the print.

Screen printing is ideal for vibrant, long-lasting prints on larger runs, while DTF printing is suited for smaller orders with intricate details or multiple colors. Embroidery is best for a professional, textured look on items like polo shirts or hats.
11. Are custom screen-printed items refundable?
All custom-printed items are final sale and non-refundable due to the personalized nature of the process. Please review your design and order details carefully before placing your order.
