We make it Easy .
Our Custom T-Shirt Ordering Process
The custom t-shirt ordering process follows a clear sequence to ensure accuracy and on-time delivery.
Submit Your Request
Send us your logo, design concept, quantity, garment type, and due date. If you’re unsure which decoration method is best (screen printing vs DTF vs embroidery), we’ll guide you.
Artwork Review & Proof
We review your graphics for print readiness. Ideal files are vector formats (.AI, .EPS, .PDF). If needed, our art team can recreate or adjust your design.
You’ll receive a digital proof showing:
- Placement
- Colors
- Sizing
- Garment style
Production does not begin until proof approval.
Production Scheduling
Turnaround depends on order size and season:
- Standard screen printing (24–1,000 shirts): Typically 5–10 business days after proof approval
- Larger bulk runs (1,000+): May require additional production time
- Rush order custom t-shirts: Available depending on schedule
The larger the order, the more press time required. We provide realistic timelines upfront.
Quality Check & Delivery
After the garment printing process is complete, items are counted, inspected, and prepared for pickup or shipment.
For online stores, our order fulfillment process includes sorting, packaging, and distribution.
No surprises. No unclear timelines. Just structured order processing from start to finish.
Our Embroidery Process
Embroidery requires a slightly different workflow to ensure stitch accuracy and clean results.
Logo Submission
We recommend high-resolution or vector artwork. If needed, we digitize your logo into an embroidery-ready file.
Digitizing & Approval
The embroidery process includes converting your logo into stitch patterns. You’ll receive a visual proof before stitching begins.
Production
Once approved, garments are loaded into embroidery machines for stitching. Timeline expectations:
- Standard embroidery orders: Typically 5–10 business days
- Large volume orders: May require additional time
- Fast turnaround embroidery: Available depending on schedule
Embroidery is ideal for polos, jackets, hats, and professional apparel.
Inspection & Delivery
Each item is trimmed, inspected, and packaged before delivery.
We eliminate the complexity of DIY embroidery—no software learning curve, no thread tension issues, no costly equipment mistakes.
Just professional embroidered apparel, delivered correctly.
Online Store Setup & Fulfillment
For teams, schools, and companies using a third-party or custom online store, the order process is even simpler.
Online Store Setup Timeline
- Product selection & artwork approval: 1–3 business days
- Store build & review: 1–5 business days
- Launch window: Based on your campaign schedule
Once live, customers order directly. We manage:
- Order processing
- Production
- Packaging
- Fulfillment
After the store closes, production begins. Most store cycles complete within 2–3 weeks depending on volume.
This structure removes administrative work from coaches, HR departments, and volunteers.
