FAQ’s

Minimum Order: 20pcs when ordering your custom apparel through our site (some options, like artwork with 5+ colors, or select hoodies, require 24pcs or 50pcs minimum). If you are dropping off your own tees/blanks for us to print on, then there is a 36pc minimum and a drop-off appointment ahead of time. Minimums are determined by artwork, not specific garment (i.e. the exact same graphic (and size) must be printed on a minimum of 20pcs - 1 ink color change is permitted within those 20pcs )

Turnaround Time: Shirts will arrive in your hands 10-16 consecutive days after the date of your online order/approval and payment of an invoice. We do take-on some rush orders offering 4-7 day turnaround times. Rush orders depend on the complexity of the project and size of order - shoot us a text message mentioning that you need a rush quote for the quickest response from us!

What Can We Print? Custom tees, tanks, long sleeves, polos, sweatshirts, sweatpants, hoodies, zip-ups, quarter-zips, jerseys, shorts, leggings, joggers, jackets, hats, socks, bags - basically if you can wear it we can print it, plus other cool stuff we can lay flat under a screen! For traditional screen printing our shop exclusively uses waterbased eco-friendly inks, and we also have a full-color digital printed heat transfer option for specific projects.

Our Location & Appointments: Shirts are printed to order with love from Chicago, IL! Our print shop is located in a sun-drenched basement loft (if there is such a thing) on the lower river level of the Bridgeport Art Center. Post-COVID, we try to avoid all unannounced drop-ins at the shop, but we do offer distanced appointments on slower print days, zoom or facetime meetings, and eventually offsites again at our co-working office space in the West Loop. if you’d like zoom in to see the shop or meet offsite to talk about a project - drop us a line to set-up a time 😊

In a 2022 world, keeping a digital reference of every conversation and every detail really helps our small team juggle many different orders efficiently. We work with a virtual team in keeping eyes on our entire printshop’s software and email/text lines day and night, so someone is always looking to reply within a few minutes for easy questions left unanswered here on the FAQ; please allow 24-48 hours for a reply if your inquiry requires a more detailed response. The shop runs loud and our basement lofts space comes with spotty cell service, making calls difficult to field, if we miss your call just leave a voicemail, or you can always shoot a text ahead of time to set-up a call.

We’re constantly looking to improve our online design studio, adding new products, design ideas, fonts and other cool features.
