Questions
Common
questions
What is the minimum order?
Five pieces. You can mix garments, sizes and colours within those five — the minimum applies to the order, not to each size.
Do I need a proper logo file?
No. Send whatever you have, including a photo of a sign or a business card. We will tell you honestly whether it will print well and redraw it if it will not.
Does the price include the printing?
Yes. Every price shown is the item plus your logo, DTF printed — nothing is added for the print itself. Shirts and hoodies take the logo on the left or right chest; a second, larger logo across the back is $12 a piece.
Can I put a logo on the back of a hat?
No. A trucker hat takes one logo, DTF printed on the face. The $12 back print applies to shirts and hoodies only.
Do you do signage and print as well?
Yes. Banners, window and vehicle graphics and printed hand-outs are produced through our print partner Wishworks, designed to match your apparel and website.
