Apparel Printing FAQ
Find answers to common questions about apparel printing, screen printing, pricing, and more.
What is the difference between screen printing and digital printing?
Screen printing uses stencils and ink to create designs, ideal for large orders and bold graphics. Digital printing uses specialized printers to apply designs directly to garments, better for small orders and complex, multi-color designs. We offer both methods and can recommend the best option for your project.
What is the minimum order quantity for apparel printing?
Minimum orders vary by printing method. Screen printing typically requires 12-24 pieces minimum, while digital printing can accommodate smaller orders. Larger orders (50+ pieces) receive better pricing per unit. We work with businesses, teams, and individuals of all sizes.
What types of garments can be printed?
We can print on t-shirts, polo shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, tank tops, long-sleeve shirts, jackets, and more. Most cotton and cotton-blend garments work well. We can help you select the right garment type for your project and budget.
How long does apparel printing take?
Standard turnaround is 7-10 business days for most orders. Screen printing orders of 50+ pieces may take 10-14 business days. Rush orders can be completed in 3-5 business days for an additional fee. We communicate timelines upfront for all projects.
Can you print my existing logo or design?
Yes! We can work with your existing logo or design files. We accept vector formats (AI, EPS, PDF) or high-resolution images. Our team can help prepare your artwork for printing and ensure it looks great on your chosen garments.
What is the cost of apparel printing?
Pricing depends on printing method, garment type, order quantity, number of colors, and print locations. Basic screen printing typically starts around $8-15 per piece for orders of 12-24 pieces. Larger orders and simpler designs receive better pricing. Contact us for a detailed quote.
Do you provide the garments or do I supply them?
We can provide quality garments from our inventory of trusted brands, or you can supply your own. If you supply garments, we recommend bringing them in for approval before printing begins. We work with suppliers to offer competitive pricing on quality garments.
How many colors can be printed?
Screen printing can accommodate multiple colors, though each additional color increases cost. Digital printing can handle unlimited colors and complex designs. We can help you optimize your design to balance visual impact with cost-effectiveness.
Can you print on both sides of garments?
Yes! We can print on the front, back, sleeves, or any combination. Multi-location printing is common for t-shirts and adds minimal cost. We can help you design effective layouts that maximize your branding impact.
What file format should I use for apparel designs?
We prefer vector formats (AI, EPS, PDF) for best results, especially for screen printing. High-resolution images (300 DPI minimum) work for digital printing. Our team can help prepare your artwork and ensure it's print-ready.
