FAQ

WHY DO YOU HAVE 12 PIECE MINIMUM?
The same reason you don't order one business card. The labor involved in the set-up alone would cost you nearly as much and produce the same ammount of waste as our small minimum. Plus we haven't found a dependable method of producing smaller runs that satisfies our quality standards.

WHY DON'T I SEE ANY "SET-UP" CHARGES?
We've found that most people consider set-up charges to be "hidden" or "added on" and much prefer to know what their cost per shirt would be. We work our set-up costs into your initial order to show more precisely what your cost is per piece. Anything else seems misleading in our opinion. Naturally all of your re-orders will cost less.

CAN I BRING MY OWN SHIRTS?
In short, yes -- but you'll probably get the same shirts cheaper through us because we get special pricing from distributors. If you don't see what you need in our catalog please give us a call. Customers are asked to accept a possible 5% spoilage rate (or 5 items for every 100) on customer-supplied items.

WHY DOES WATER BASE INK PRINTING COST MORE?
Because it's harder to work with and produces more waste. Click here for more information on inks.
