To ensure your merch project runs as smoothly as possible, there are several things we need to know. You don't need to have all the details below, but the more you have, the faster we can provide you with an accurate quote. Of course, we can adjust the quote to suit your needs and budget.

Design/ Artwork
Design Usage Rights
It is essential that you have the rights to use and reproduce the design you want to print. We will not print images you find on the web.
Colors
In screen printing, each color requires a different frame. Therefore, the more colors your design has, the higher the cost . This is something to consider when designing your project if you're on a budget.
It's possible to create gradients, but not too intense ones. Since this is a case-by-case basis, you can send us your design: we'll tell you if it's possible to screen print or not. If it's not possible, we'll give you adjustment suggestions to discuss with your graphic designer.
Dimensions
We need to know how big you want your design printed . If no dimensions are provided, we will print according to standard garment printing dimensions depending on the location (chest, back, over the heart, sleeves). "Like the mockup" is too vague: a mockup is used to give a general idea of what is desired. So when in doubt, we suggest you go with the standards.
Standard dimensions (for clothing)
- Small, on the heart (called pocket ): 3.5 inches wide
- Large, chest or back: 10-12 inches wide (depending on design)
Files and mock-ups
To print your design, we need it as a Photoshop or Illustrator file (.psd or .ai) with the colors separated on different layers . If you can send us high-resolution versions in vector , that's best . If you use an online service (e.g. Canva) to create your design, we won't be able to print it.
We can mock up your designs, but this should ideally be done by your graphic designer (or yourself). We're just a screen printing service, not a graphic design service.
Products
We need to know:
- What item(s) of clothing (t-shirts, long sleeve sweaters, hoodies, etc.)
- Color(s) of the clothing(s)
- What quantity, by model and by size?
Ex. Black T-shirt, model 1: 10 small, 10 medium, 15 large, 10 XL / Red hoodie, model 2: 5 small, 10 medium, 10 large, 5 XL
Pre-orders
If you want to pre-order a merch production to sell at your shows, it's best to close it at least a week beforehand.
Example: You have a show on January 20th and you'll pick up your order on January 18th. Your pre-order should end at least a week before this date, on January 11th. If you want a pre-order that lasts 2 weeks, it should start on December 28th.
Collecting your order
We need to know:
- Your production time ( aka : when do you need your merch by?)
- If it's for delivery or if you're going to come to our premises
