Printing Made Simple
Printing doesn’t have to be complicated! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out before finalising your order. Need extra help? Schedule a call or a visit with us—we’re happy to guide you through every step of the process for a smooth experience.
Job Sheet Finalisation
Once you sign off on the job sheet, all details for your project are locked in. Changes requested afterward may result in additional fees or extend your delivery timeline. Double-check everything to keep your project on track!
Print Size Insights
Take note that the mockup in your job sheet isn’t to scale. We provide precise measurements for reference, but a handy tip is to sketch or print your design to scale to better visualise how it looks physically.
Garment Styles, Sizes, & Colors
The last page of your job sheet includes details of all garments being printed. Review styles, sizes, and colours carefully to avoid errors. Accurate checks ensure your prints are exactly as you imagined—mistakes can happen, so verifying saves time!
Print Scale Across Sizes
The actual image size for your design will depend on the smallest size of the garment you have ordered. While keeping your design in proportion, we will set your imprint size to either the height or width maximum of the smallest ordered garment size. If your design spans a variety of sizes or styles, we’ll do our best to maintain scale consistency. Got concerns about how it might look? Contact us for guidance before signing off. It’s much easier to adjust beforehand than post-production.
Understanding Print Placement
Since screen printing is largely manual, exact placements may vary slightly. For example, if asked for a print 8cm below the collar, expect a 1cm variance, which won’t count as a misprint. If you don’t specify print placements, we’ll follow standard practice (like 8cm down for front pocket prints). If you’d prefer something specific, inform us when placing your order.
Perfect-File Requirements
Ensure your artwork is production-ready:
Minimum 300 DPI at actual size.
Preferred formats are .ai, .pdf, .eps, or high-res .jpg/.tiff (additional charges may apply for adjustments).
Flatten all layers and outline all text before submitting.
Ink Colour Precision
Love specific hues? We mix inks using Pantone codes for accuracy. Didn’t provide Pantone codes? Don’t worry—we’ll pick the closest match. For perfectionists, visit our studios and select your colours directly from our Pantone swatch book! Do note some mild colour variances are unavoidable.
Heads up: If you had waterbase/discharge printed on 100% cotton garments in the past, slight differences might occur due to variations in garment manufacturing.
Garment Disclaimer
Manufacturer defects like stitching inconsistencies or mislabeled garments fall outside of our responsibility. While we inspect items during printing, we cannot guarantee flawless garments as we’re not the manufacturers.

Bring Creativity to Life
We’re passionate about the work we do and often photograph designs during production. If you’d prefer us not to capture or share your design, just give us a heads-up in writing.
Sometimes, taking one last look (and asking “just one more question”) can make all the difference. Measure twice, print once! Start your custom printing project today and create something amazing with us!
