apparel decorating process
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO & WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT
What makes custom apparel decorating so difficult is every job is different. Each project has its own set of idiosyncrasies. Even a (seemingly) simple job is complicated because of its unique qualities, defining the very meaning of 'custom'. Here’s the 'simple version' of how we go about it.
1|
your project starts with an idea
Let us help you with the process.
We are happy to help you every step of the way.
IT'S WHAT WE DO.
IT'S WHO WE ARE.
2|
SEND YOUR ARTWORK
Send your artwork to us
(please see artwork guides).
Let us know what you have in mind for your project and we will confirm the artwork is useable for reproduction, or consult you as to how we can make it usable artwork.

CHOOSE A GARMENT
What garment and fabric colors will look fantastic for your idea?
Let us know what you have in mind and we will guide you through our catalog(s) and help you choose the right garment(s) for you.
4|
MOCK-UP CREATION
Once your artwork and garment(s) are decided on we will create a visual representation of your print including size, placement, process, and color selections.
At this stage you will get a good idea of what your final product will look like, and we can work together and make any changes to ensure you are satisfied with your print.
5|
PICK GARMENT SIZE
What sizes would you like?
Who is your demographic and how would they like their garments to fit them?
​
Remember, it’s our goal to make the garment we’re printing for you your favorite one, the one you always pull out to wear!
​
Our minimum shirt order is 24 of the same design.

ORDER CONFIRMATION
With your mock-up and sizes we will send you an Order Confirmation for your approval.
​
THIS IS THE MOST CRUCIAL STEP OF THE PROCESS.
​
This Confirmation is a Work Order for our production team. It will have all the information regarding your entire project.
We will wait for your approval to this Confirmation before moving forward in production.

LET'S PRINT
If you are in the Denver Metro Area we invite you to come see your first strike-off.
This way you can approve exact placement and ink colors and see first hand how the process works.
We schedule press checks at 9am, 10am or 11am.
If you are not able to come into our shop we can send you a photo, or use your mock for approval.

ORDER COMPLETE
Your apparels are ready to wear and are hot off the press. They’re packed by size, dozen, and color.
Water based inks should be be washed once before that print is super soft.
​
Our turn-around time is about two weeks, and then you’ll have your new favorite apparel!
