Frequently asked questions

How does DTF compare to screen printing?
DTF (direct-to-film) handles vibrant full-color designs with gradients on any shirt color, with no setup fees per color — best for short-run, complex designs. Screen printing is more economical for high-volume orders with simpler designs and is more durable for repeated washing.

What's the minimum order for custom t-shirts?
We accept low-minimum orders. Volume discount tiers apply on larger orders — call us for a quote.

Can I mix shirt styles or colors in one order?
Yes — mix styles, colors, and sizes to hit your quantity tier as long as the design stays the same.

What file formats do you need?
Vector files (.ai, .eps, .pdf) are best. High-resolution PNG or JPG also works for most designs. Send what you have and we'll let you know if we need more.

Do you offer rush turnarounds for events?
Yes — we regularly accommodate church camps, school deadlines, and 5K events. Tell us your deadline and we'll work backward.

Do you ship outside Texas?
Yes — we ship nationwide for free, anywhere in the lower 48.
