We’ll provide a detailed quote for your custom screen printing order. A 50% deposit or full payment is required to begin. Once your order is placed, we’ll submit a mock-up for your review and approval before starting production.
Production Time
Once your artwork is approved, we move to the exciting part! We’ll create the film, prepare the screens, set up, and begin the printing process to bring your custom apparel to life.
Balance Due & Delivery
Once your order is complete, we’ll give you a call to let you know it’s ready. If the balance hasn’t been paid in full, payment is due at this time.
