FAQ

Screen Printing Normal Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! We encourage it. Picking up your order directly from our Bloomington shop is a great way to save time and money. We’ll send you a notification the moment your project is ready for pickup during our regular business hours.

Our standard turnaround time is typically 7-10 business days after you’ve approved the final digital proof. Since you’re local, you don’t have to worry about shipping delays on top of that. Your order will be ready for pickup right here in town as soon as it’s done.

Yes, for screen printing, our typical minimum is 12 pieces. This allows us to cover the setup costs for creating the screens and ensures you get the best value. For smaller projects, we often recommend our high-quality embroidery or other decoration methods. Feel free to ask us for the best solution for your specific needs!

Definitely! That’s one of our specialties. Our in-house graphic design team, right here in Bloomington, can work with you to turn your concept—whether it’s a rough sketch or just an idea—into a polished, print-ready design that you’ll be proud to wear

Yes, absolutely. This is one of the most common problems we solve for our clients. We can take your low-resolution or pixelated logo and professionally recreate it as a clean, infinitely scalable vector file. This ensures your final print is perfectly sharp and crisp, no matter the size.

In many cases, yes. We do ask that customer-supplied garments are new and unwashed. We’ll need to inspect the items to ensure the material is suitable for our screen printing process. Please note that while we take the utmost care, we cannot be responsible for replacing customer-supplied garments. For the most consistent results, we recommend using the high-quality brands we source directly.

The price is based on three main factors: 1) The total quantity of items (more items generally means a lower price per piece), 2) The number of colors in your design (each color requires its own screen), and 3) The specific garment you choose. For a fast and accurate price, the best way is to contact us for a free, no-obligation quote on your project.

This is a key advantage of working with a local shop! We can often accommodate rush orders for local events, depending on our production schedule. If you have a tight deadline, please call us directly to discuss your project. We’ll do everything we can to make it happen for you. Rush fees may apply.
