Screen Printing & Embroidery

Do you offer screen printing or embroidery?

Yes. Both services are available on the products we sell. To learn more read our screen printing & embroidery page, or jump right in and request a price quote.

What is the screen printing process?

Screen printing is the process of creating a design on a screen (design negative) that is stretched across a wood or aluminum frame. Printing ink is poured onto the screen under which is placed the apparel to be printed. A floodbar (similar to a squegee) is used to push the ink through the screen to print the design on the apparel. Screen printing is generally less expensive than embroidery.

What is the embroidery?

Machine embroidery is the process of sewing, using thread, a previously digitized logo onto an article of apparel.

What is embroidery digitizing?

Before a logo can be sewn by an embroidery machine it must be digitized. This process of tracing over the logo defines to the embroidery machine how to sew the logo. We start the digitizing process after approval of a written quote.

How do I get a proof?

We provide proofs for both embroidery and screen printing. A proof is provided after we have issued and received approval of a price quote. We require a reply by email to approve all proofs. Proofs are available 4-7 business days after we receive payment for your order. Embroidery proofs are sewn on sample fabric then photographed and emailed. Screen printing proofs show logos mocked-up on your shirt and include the print color, location and size of print.

How does it work?

Our process is very simple. First visit our bid request form. Fill it out with some basic information and then we will provide a quote for you. Once you have reviewed and approved the quote and provided payment we will take care of the rest. You will receive a proof of your embroidery sewout or printing by email for approval. We will not begin any production without your approval. After approval we will print or sew your items, ship them and provide a tracking number.

How long does it take?

Screen Printing and Embroidery takes about 2 business weeks not including shipping time. All orders are shipped from one of two production facilities. One facility is in the Western US and one is in the Southeast.

Do you have a minimum?

Yes. Our minimum for Screen Printing is 36 pieces. Our embroidery minimum is 25.

The product ID is listed on the product page just below the price of the item. It is also listed under the thumbnail for each product on the category pages.

How do I know it will fit?

We recommend checking the size chart found on each product. Please note that the chest measurement is taken 1" below where the sleeves are sewn onto the shirt.
