STEP 1: DESIGN CONCEPT/CREATION

Having a print-ready design is key in the screen printing process. After all, without a design, we wouldn't have anything to print. Here are the 3 main scenarios we encounter from our customers:

  1. "I HAVE A DESIGN ALREADY." If you have a design or logo that's already set in stone, then you're already ahead of the game. Your next step is to select a garment of your choice.
  2. "I WANT TO CREATE MY OWN DESIGN FOR FREE." If you have a pretty clear idea of what you want your design to look like or you would like to play around with a few ideas, then we suggest that you use our FREE Online Design Studio to create your very own masterpiece. 
  3. "I NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP TO CREATE A DESIGN." Not a problem! Our in-house Graphic Designer can help to make your concept a reality, please note that just like any other shop, we do bill at an hourly rate for Graphic Design Services rendered.

STEP 2: GARMENT SELECTION

In order to be able to give you an accurate quote, we need to know the type of garment you would like to print onto. Although most of the orders we print go onto Basic 100% Cotton T-shirts, we highly suggest that you check out our Catalog to figure out which garment is a better fit for your project.
