Requesting an apparel quote - Process details:

A) Decide product selection from our supplier. Style # / color and quantities / sizes are the basic info needed to begin a quote. We have MANY more sources for product, but most clothing items are sourced from Sanmar, our biggest & best supplier:

Sanmar.com

Note: If you don't find what you're looking for at Sanmar, just ask us and we will find a source for the items you need.

B) Decide decoration concept. What will the design be? Where will the design(s) be placed on the shirt, hat, etc? Most business clients provide finished art files in PDF format, but we can work with many others.

Note: We have some in-house design capabilities available, but we our role is of a decorator; we are not specialists in graphic design. Many companies have designers in their marketing team who can provide us with print-ready design files.

C) Let us know any other pertinent details about your project, especially any deadlines we should be aware of.

Once all project details have been gathered, our team will check stock & current pricing. We will quote your custom project based on the specs provided, and will e-mail you a link to a quote with product links, quantity price breaks for each item and more. Often times, this happens in two steps:

If quantities & sizes are not yet known, we will send you a "Pricing Info" quote (with a $0 total but) with pricing at each of the price breaks:

Once we have your list of quantities & sizes we will send an "Official Quote". (Typically you'll just e-mail this info back to us.) We will have entered the qty/size into your same quote, and now you will see a price per item and a total:

Payment: Immediately after quote approval, our online system gives you the option to pay by CC or ACH. As soon as a quote is approved & paid, we order all blank garment items in right away, and the art team begins work on your art proofs & mockups.

---

Art proofs & mockups: For an example of an art proof & mockup, see the "Official Quote" link above, and by clicking the thumbnail below the "Artwork" line item. It opens a PDF with all the details of each design to be decorated, and a mockup on a product image of each product style ordered.

Note: We typically do not begin art proof until a quote is approved & paid in full.

An "Art only" quote is available upon request, to pay before you approve the main order. This will allow you to see proofs prior to committing to the whole order. The "art only" cost is typically $75.
--But--
When you place an order over $750, your art setup costs are waived when you approve & pay. This is the fastest & easiest way to get your art proofs started.

Turnaround: Our standard turnaround is about 7-10 business days for most projects, with established designs.

Add + 1 to 4 days additional if new art. Possibly more for challenging embroidery designs.

Add up to +7 days for projects with outsourced components (Digital Print).

Projects with patches typically add +2-3 weeks due to upstream supplier turnaround times.
