Screenprinting

Getting Started : Simply follow our step-by-step instructions to get your screenprint order rolling. We'll walk you through each and every step required.

Click here to get started!

Delivery Expectations: Screen print job time can vary greatly. While many can be done in 10-15 working days, the quantity of garments to be printed, the number of colors required per garment and many other factors effect when a given job can be delivered. Once your order is in place we can give you a much more accurate estimate of delivery time. If you need your job in a rush, please ask. We'll be happy to let you know what is possible for your order.

Rush Orders: If you need you garments fast, we'll do our very best to meet your schedule. Rush orders will require a rush charge in addition to the normal charges. Our sales people can help you determine how fast and what that charge will be.

Minimum Order: Our minimum order is 12. If you need less than 12, we will try to accommodate you but be aware that smaller quantites are usually significantly more costly. Also, please note that all orders of 12 or less garments will be completed with press on graphics.

Costs: Depending upon the number of garments ordered you may qualify for quantity price breaks on both the garment and the actual screenprinting itself. Generally the more items you order, the less you pay for each garment. Screen printing costs depend upon many factors: the number of ink colors used on the garment, the number of imprint locations (front & back), and even the type of garment itself. Likewise there may be art charges and you will also be charged a screen setup charge for each color printed. Our step-by-step order process walks you through all of these and you can see the actual costs. Click here to get started!

Screen Setup Charge: This is a once per job charge to cover the cost for camera work, film and making the screen for each color. Since each color requires a screen, the setup charge varies according to the number of colors used. Complicated jobs may have additional film charges.

Reorder Setup Charge: Films are kept on file as well as all the ionformation about job (colors, garments, quantities) to provide an exact repeat of your job. Reorder setup charges are less than initial order setup charges.

Artwork Required: You can use one of our stock designs and avoid most if not all of the art charges. We can work from a rough sketch on a piece of paper but remember, the more we must do to make your design ready, the higher the art charges will be. You can eliminate art charges by supplying camera ready art for your design. We can give you an estimated on art time required to make your design ready to go on a shirt. If you don't have a design or logo we can do one for you. Click here to learn more about artwork requirements.

Proofs: For simple or small jobs we can offer a color proof of your design. Should you desire to see a press proof (the first garment off the press), we charge per color for the first hour. After one hour we will bill at our hourly rate for press time. Note, proofs will generally delay the production of your job. Press proofs are recommended for large jobs. Sales can help you schedule a press proof.

Colors: Pantone colors (the graphic industry's standard colors) are generally available at no additional charge. Exact color matching is available for a per color fee.
