Everything you need to get your project print-ready — artwork tips, placement and sizing, color options, and answers to common questions.

Getting print-ready

Artwork & file guidelines

A few tips to help your order turn out crisp and clean.

  • Vector is best. Send Adobe Illustrator (.AI), .EPS, or print-ready .PDF files when you can — they scale to any size without losing quality.
  • High-res raster works too. .PNG, .PSD, or .TIFF at 300 DPI at full print size. Web images and screenshots are usually too low-res to print well.
  • Outline your fonts. Convert text to outlines/curves, or include the font files, so your type stays exact.
  • Share your colors. Pantone (PMS) numbers let us match as closely as the process allows.
  • Transparent backgrounds help us place your design cleanly — especially for logos.
  • Embroidery detail. Very fine lines and small text don't always stitch cleanly — we'll let you know if anything needs adjusting.

No artwork? No problem.

Design it yourself in our online studio, or send us a rough idea and our in-house art team will take it from there.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

What’s your typical turnaround time?
Most orders are ready in about two weeks after you approve your art and quote. Need it sooner? Rush options are available — just ask and we’ll let you know what’s possible.
Is there a minimum order?
Screen printing starts at a 12-piece minimum. Embroidery has no minimum — order as few as one. Other methods vary, so just ask. And the more you order, the better your per-piece pricing gets.
Can you reorder a past design?
Yes. We keep your artwork on file, so reorders are quick and come out consistent with your last run.
Are there setup or art fees?
Some jobs have a one-time setup or embroidery digitizing fee depending on the decoration method and design. Any fees are spelled out clearly in your quote — no surprises.
Can you match specific colors?
Yes — share a Pantone (PMS) number and we’ll match it as closely as the printing or stitching process allows. See our stock colors above for the in-house options.
Do I have to design it myself?
Not at all. Use our online designer, or send a rough idea and our in-house art team will handle the rest.
How do I get started?
Send us a quote request with your details and we’ll follow up with pricing and next steps. You can also reach out or book a time to talk it through.
