Factors to keep expenses lower, decrease production time, and to help ensure your goals.

• Choose products of standard sizes, types, colors, or brands, and be ready for substitutions.
• Be flexible on the blank goods. Sometimes certain colors or sizes may be unavailable on-the-fly.
• Use white or light colored garments if possible. Darks increase costs and production time.
• Keep the printing on all of your garments the same: same colored garments, same imprints, same ink colors, etc.
• Have your artwork and logos as close to ready as possible. The very most ready art is an exact repeat of a previous job with us.
• Keep the number of colors in your prints as close to 1 as possible, and as few print locations as you can as well.
• Have your graphics use spot colors.
• Uncomplicate graphics. The simplest is plain type in black ink. Very complicated is many distinct objects with flashy effects, gradations in your design, special inks, many colors, PMS ink matches, tiny type, thin line work, prints that cross over seams, and graphics that don’t fit inside an 11” x 11” frame to name a few.
• Provide your art ready for use --if you can. Have your artist be available by phone and email during and after hours until your project is complete.
• If you need special fonts (typefaces) in your design, have the fonts available and know their names.
• Be decisive and specific about your needs. Know which aspects of the project are more important than others.
• Have a project manager who is always available via telephone and email. Rush jobs are often done after hours. Our printers will work through the night if thats what it takes. Your project manager must be available for late-night phone calls until the project is complete. They must also have decision-making authority. No matter how important we treat your project, your choice for project manager can ensure success or failure.
