The idea
What it’s for, who’s wearing it, colors, garments, quantities and your deadline.
Design and mockups
Concepts on the garment, shared as proofs in your client portal and revised until they’re right.
Printed and delivered
I handle production and deliver the finished merch, or send print-ready files to your printer.
Questions
Do you print the shirts too?
Yes. I arrange the printing and deliver finished shirts; it keeps the colors and placement right. If you already have a printer, you get print-ready files instead.
Screen printing, DTG or embroidery: which is right?
Screen printing suits bigger runs and bold colors, DTG suits small runs and full-color art, and embroidery suits hats and polos. I’ll recommend one for your design and quantity.
How many colors can my design have?
It depends on the print method. Screen printing adds a screen for each color, so fewer colors usually means a lower cost per shirt.
Can my logo be embroidered on a hat?
Usually, once it’s simplified. Fine lines and tiny text don’t stitch well, so I make a version that does.
Can I see a mockup first?
Yes. Every design is shown on the garment before anything is printed.
Do I own the design?
Yes. Once it’s paid for, the design is yours to reprint anywhere.
What files will my printer need?
Vector artwork, separated by color for screen printing and sized for the garment. I set that up so the printer doesn’t have to.
Need merch people will actually wear?
Send what it’s for, rough quantities and your deadline.
