Frequently Asked Questions
1. What types of customization services do you offer?
We offer screen printing transfers, dtf transfers, embroidery, and branded merchandise customization. Whether you need detailed embroidery or vibrant screen printing, we have the expertise to meet your needs.
2. How do I place a custom order?
Custom orders can be placed through our website or by contacting us directly. We’ll discuss your project details, confirm the design, and provide a quote. Once approved, we’ll proceed with production.
3. What about setup/ digitizing process for embroidery designs?
Embroidery digitizing is a crucial step in customizing apparel. It involves converting your design into a format that our embroidery machines can understand.
Cost: The digitizing fee is $50 per design. This is a one-time fee, and your digitized file will be kept in our system for future orders at no additional cost. This makes future orders quick and cost-effective.
Our Digitizing Process:
- Submit Your Design: Start by sending us your design in a high-quality, high-resolution format (JPEG, PNG, etc.).
- Digitizing Conversion: Our skilled digitizers will convert your design into a stitch-ready file. This process typically takes between 1-2 business days and involves adjusting the design to ensure it looks perfect when embroidered.
- Proof and Approval: You will receive a digital proof of the digitized file to review and approve. This step ensures you are satisfied with the conversion before we start embroidering.
- Embroidery Production: After approval, we move to the production phase, where your design is embroidered onto the selected apparel.

Our minimum order quantities vary depending on the type of service. Generally, screen printing orders start at 12 pieces, while embroidery may start at a lower quantity. Contact us for more specifics.

7. What file format works the best?
If you have them, we prefer high-resolution JPEG, PDF, EPS, or AI files. (NOTE: You only need to upload your image file once per order--i.e. it doesn't need to be uploaded with each style and/or color you are purchasing.)
Please do not send images created in Microsoft Word or Powerpoint.
8. Do you still have my logo?
