Do you offer volume discounts?

Definitely. The more you order, the lower your per-piece cost. We offer custom pricing for bulk orders, schools, and corporate clients.

What file formats do you accept for artwork?

We prefer vector files like AI, EPS, or SVG, but we can also work with high-res PNGs and JPEGs. If needed, we’ll help convert them.

What shirt brands do you use?

We use quality brands like Gildan, Bella+Canvas, Next Level, and Port & Company. You can also request specific styles or bring your own.

Can you handle detailed logos or small text in embroidery?

Yes — our embroidery machines are capable of high precision. If something won’t stitch clearly, we’ll suggest simple tweaks first.

Do you work with nonprofits, churches, or schools?

Absolutely. We regularly serve schools, churches, fundraisers, and community groups. We offer discounted pricing for qualifying orders.

Can I bring my own items to print or embroider on?

Screen Printing Mistakes to Avoid – File Prep, Fabric & Ink Tips

July 16, 2025

Mistake #1: Low-Resolution Design Files

Avoid using low-resolution images. Always use vector files or high-resolution rasters to ensure crisp, clean prints without pixelation.

Mistake #2: Complex Color Designs

Overusing gradients or full-color photos in screen printing can lead to blurry or costly orders. Stick to solid color designs for clarity, ease, and cost efficiency.

Mistake #3: Ignoring Fabric Compatibility

Not all inks adhere properly to every fabric. Check with your printer on what materials work best with your design—especially when using textures or blends.
