ARTWORK & DESIGN
Our skilled and experienced art department works closely with you to create outstanding custom T-shirt designs for any event or business.
We can turn a rough sketch, digital file, or full-color photograph into a high-quality, print-ready design.
You’ll receive an initial design proof early in the process to confirm we’re on the right track, followed by a final approval proof before production—guaranteeing your printed T-shirts, embroidered polos, caps, or branded merchandise look exactly as you envisioned.
NON-DIGITAL ARTWORK REQUIREMENTS

Provide a second copy indicating color placement.
If only a color drawing is submitted, then we will need to re-draw it,
or print it with four color process inks. These inks are transparent,
and will not be as bright and sharp as spot color inks.
