FAQ

Decoration Questions

What file format do you need for my logo?

Vector files (.AI, .EPS, .PDF) are best. High-resolution PNGs (300 dpi at full print size) also work. We can recreate or clean up lower-quality art for a small art fee.

Will I see a proof before you decorate?

Yes - nothing goes into production until you approve a digital proof of placement, size, and colours.

Are there setup or digitizing fees?

Screen printing has a one-time screen setup fee per colour. Embroidery has a one-time digitizing fee to convert your logo into a stitch file. Embroidery files are reusable for future reorders. Heat transfers typically have no setup fee.

Do you keep my logo on file for reorders?

Yes. Once your digital images and embroidery file are set up, reorders are faster and skip repeat setup charges.

Is there a minimum for screen printing?

Screen printing is most cost-effective at higher quantities since each colour requires its own screen. We will quote small runs but may recommend heat transfers instead.

How many colours can you print?

Multiple colours are possible. Each adds a screen and affects pricing. Simpler, fewer-colour designs print most economically.

Can you print on dark garments?

Yes. Dark shirts need a white underbase, which adds a print step but gives bright, opaque colours.

How durable are screen prints?

Very. Properly cured prints stay soft and last the life of the garment with normal care.

Does stitch count affect price?

Yes. Larger or denser designs have higher stitch counts, which increases cost. Hats, polos, jackets, and bags all embroider well.

Can you match my exact brand colours?

We match to the closest available thread colours and confirm on your proof.

When are heat transfers the best choice?

For low quantities, photographic images, gradients, or designs with many colours where screen printing is not practical.

Are transfers durable?

Yes, when applied correctly and cared for properly.

What can you laser engrave?

Laser engraving is ideal for items like leather patches, drinkware, and certain hard goods, giving a clean, permanent, premium finish without ink.

Can I mix garment styles, colours, and sizes in one order?

Yes, as long as the decoration stays the same. Changing the design or print colours may affect setup and pricing.

Can you decorate more than one location?

Yes - front, back, sleeve, and more. Each additional print or stitch location adds to the price.

How should I care for decorated apparel?

Wash cold, inside out, tumble dry low or hang dry, and avoid ironing directly over decoration.

What decoration method is best for my order?

It depends on your artwork, quantity, garment type, and deadline. Our team will help you choose the right method at no extra charge.

Do you decorate garments we provide?

In some cases, yes. Contact us with the garment details and artwork so we can confirm whether it is something we can accommodate.

How long does decoration take?

Turnaround varies by method and quantity. Many orders are completed in 5 to 10 business days. Rush options may be available depending on the job.

Can you help with logo design or artwork?

Yes. Our art and digital services team can help with logo creation, vector file setup, artwork cleanup, and print-ready file preparation.
