Screen Printing :: Embroidery :: Names/Numbers :: Sublimation 

Screen Printing: 

The Process:  Screen printing is a very popular way of decoration garment where a design is taken and separated into the different colors; following the separation of colors, a negative of each color is made to create a screen.  The image is then translated onto a woven mesh screen, exposing the design area through the screen.  Ink is then pushed through the exposed area of the screen onto a particular garment.  The ink is then cured using heat to create a lasting image on the garment. 

Pricing:  Pricing is based on quantity, garment style/color, and the number of colors printed per side.

Helpful Hints to save money:

Garments - White & light colored garments are typically less expensive than dark colored garments

Screens - Each color requires its own screen, so keeping your design to a few colors will reduce the cost

Location – printing on one side is cheaper than printing on the front & back

Quantity – larger quantity orders reduce the unit cost

Minimums: The minimum order for screen printing is 24 pieces.  Less than minimum orders will require a less than minimum charge, which is determined by the quantity ordered. 

Production Time: Standard production time is 10 business days from order/art approval.  However, rush service is available.  Please contact one of our customer service representatives if you have a rush order or need a custom price quote.

Embroidery: 

The Process:  Embroidery is the process by which a design is stitched onto a garment.  The process begins with the design being digitized, or converted from a graphic image into a specific number of stitches to be embroidered on the garment. 

Pricing:  Pricing is based on quantity, garment style/color, and the number of stitches.

Helpful Hints to save money:

Garments - White & light colored garments are typically less expensive than dark colored garments

Stitches – Simple designs or outlines that do not require a lot of fill will be less expensive than larger, solid logos due to the number of stitches.

Location – embroidering on one location is cheaper than embroidering on multiple locations because each location has to be done separately

Quantity – larger quantity orders reduce the unit cost

Minimums: The minimum order for embroidery is 12 pieces.  Less than minimum orders will require a less than minimum charge, which is determined by the quantity ordered. 

Production Time: Standard production time is 10 business days from order/art approval.  However, rush service is available.  Please contact one of our customer service representatives if you have a rush order or need a custom price quote.

Names/Numbers

Process: Vinyl names and numbers are created utilizing a cad-cut stencil design.  They are then adhered to the garment using a heat press to transfer the number onto the garment. This is commonly referred to as a “heat transfer”. 

Styles: We have a variety of styles and fonts available for individual numbers, name/number combinations, and names. 

Sizes: Numbers are available in 2”, 4”, 6”, 8”. Names are available in 2” (width not to exceed 14”)

Helpful Hints:

Utilizing Outline style fonts can allow you to create a 2 color look with only one color

White & Light colored garments are less expensive than dark colored garments

Minimums: The minimum order for names/number is 12 pieces.  Less than minimum orders will require a less than minimum charge, which is determined by the quantity ordered. 

Production Time: Standard production time is 10 business days from order/art approval.  However, rush service is available.  Please contact one of our customer service representatives if you have a rush order or need a custom price quote

Sublimation: 

The Process:  Heat and pressure are applied to the polyester fabric, causing the polyester fibers to open up as the sublimation inks turn to gas and adhere to the polyester.  Once the heat and pressure are removed, the polyester fibers close, sealing the ink in side the garment.  The result is a permanent, no-hand image.  The sublimated image will retain its detail, vibrancy and color throughout the life of the garment.

Pricing:  Pricing is based on quantity, garment style/color, and the size of the print.

Helpful Hints:

Garment Style – sublimation only works on 100% polyester garments. 

Garment Color - white garments work best for sublimation.  Light colors can be used, but white garments allow the vibrancy of the image to show up best.

Location – sublimating on one location is cheaper than sublimating on multiple locations because each location has to be done separately

Quantity – larger quantity orders reduce the unit cost

Minimums: The minimum order for sublimation is 12 pieces.  Less than minimum orders will require a less than minimum charge, which is determined by the quantity ordered. 

Production Time: Standard production time is 10 business days from order/art approval.  However, rush service is available.  Please contact one of our customer service representatives if you have a rush order or need a custom price quote.
