The process
Four steps. Zero headaches.
Step 01: Send your art
Upload a PNG or AI file with a transparent background at 300 dpi, sized the way you want it printed. For embroidery, send an EMB file or any clean logo and we digitize it.
Rough file? Artwork help starts at $20.
Step 02: We check it
Every file gets looked at before it prints. Custom work gets a proof for you to approve. Ready-made items and gang sheets go straight to the queue.
Proofs come by email. Reply to approve.
Step 03: We print or stitch
Standard turnaround is two weeks from approved artwork. Need it sooner? Rush is available on request and priced by the order.
Ask about rush before you order.
Step 04: Pick up or ship
Pick up in Decatur, TX at no charge, or we ship UPS or USPS anywhere in the US, billed by weight. Transfers come with pressing instructions.
Shipping is calculated at checkout.

A PNG or AI file with a transparent background at 300 dpi, sized to the finished print. For embroidery, an EMB file or a clean logo we can digitize.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Order one transfer or a thousand. Larger orders get volume pricing. Ask for a quote.
How long does it take?
Two weeks from approved artwork is standard. Rush is available and priced by the order.
Do I get a proof?
Custom work does. Gang sheets print as uploaded, so check your file before you submit it.
Can I bring my own shirt or hat?
Yes. Bring it to the shop in Decatur and fill out the short drop-off form, and we press or embroider it.
Do you ship?
Yes, UPS or USPS anywhere in the US, billed by weight. Local pickup in Decatur is free.
I'm reordering a design. Do you keep my file?
Please send the file again with each order. For embroidery, your digitized design is kept on file, so you never pay the digitizing fee twice for the same design.
Do you charge sales tax?
Texas sales tax applies. If you are tax-exempt or buying for resale, send your certificate and we set up your account without tax.
Can you fix or create my artwork?
Yes. Cleanup starts at $20. Creating artwork from scratch costs more, quoted before we start.
