FAQ

This is the question we get more than any other. Unfortunately, it is impossible to answer easily. Pricing is based on the number of print colors and locations, the style of garment, and the number of pieces. Without that information, we cannot answer the “how much?” question. We do have a few examples pinned to our highlights on instagram, which may help you establish a baseline. Ultimately, assembling a personalized quote is the only way to be accurate, so submit a contact form and we’ll get you started!

Our standard turn is 10-15 business days, but that is subject to change based on current workload. That countdown begins when all details are finalized and a deposit is placed, not at initial contact. Keep in mind that this is an approximation, not an ironclad guarantee.

All orders can have up to 5% under run. Sometimes shirts get damaged during printing or even show up with a hole or a bad seam.

We always strive to give you everything you ordered, however, if there is a shortage with your order, we will refund or credit you for the difference.
