Common Questions
What is Screenprinting?
Screenprinting is the method by which most t-shirts and related garments are printed. It is a method of printmaking where ink is forced through a fine mesh (or "silk") screen onto the printing surface. The ink is then cured with heat. When done properly, this method creates the most durable and highest quality print available on textile surfaces.
How long will it take for me to get my order?
After you approve your final artwork, we will complete your screen printing order within 7 business days and ship the following day. We ship from our NJ location.
Does it cost for you to design artwork for me?
If you have a logo already designed, in a digital format, there is no cost. If you have a high quality print piece, we can likely scan it and convert it with little or no cost. If you need a logo designed, there are options for adapting stock are and for creating it new. We would be happy to discuss both.
Can I get a sample of the garment?
Yes, we can provide sample garments. We ask that you pay for the shipping costs to send it to you.

Can you match PMS colors for screen printing?
PMS colors are designed for paper ink to be placed on white stock. You may indicate what PMS color you would like and we will make the best PMS color match we can. Please understand it cannot be guaranteed to be exact on a textile, especially if it is not screen printed on white.
Is there a minimum order?
The minimum order is 24 units on a new design. Re-prints may be done for as few as 12 garments. For less than 24 prints on a re-order, a $10 set-up fee per color would apply.
Screen Printing Questions
Can I print on assorted sizes?
We can print both youth and adult items together if the design size is made to fit the smallest item being screen printed. Some customers prefer to have two sizes of artwork made, one for adult and one for youth. When printing a small order, one size of art is the most economical choice. Each imprint size is considered a seperate order.
Can I print on various colors?
As long as the same ink color can be used on all the items it would be considered a single order. If you needed to change ink colors, it would split the order into smaller printable units.
Can I print on a variety of products?
In general t-shirts, sweatshirts, shirts, sweatpants and such can be combined into one screen printing order. The fabric of jackets or design size can require a separate process and treatment as a separate order.
Can I see a Sample of my Order Before it Prints?
Due to the cost and time involved in the set-up process, we are not able to provide actual printed samples prior to production. A clean and crisp proof of what the printed garment will look like will be provided for approval before all printing.
