Putting art to merch
puts the jam in our jelly roll.

Our years working at other print shops have shown us how awesome apparel and merch printing can be.

We’ve honed all that hard-earned knowledge into a studio
that allows your project to be creatively amazing and
still be in your hands when you need it.

I already have artwork or want to create my own. Any tips?

- Create artwork at final print size with colors on separate layers. .AI or .EPS is 
preferred for best possible print.

 

- .PSD is acceptable if saved to final size, at a minimum of 300dpi, and colors are on separate layers.

- Place halftone areas on separate layers. We will handle all halftone conversions 
and color separations on our end.

- Have custom colors? We use Pantone's Solid Coated system for ink mixing. To prevent confusion, please label your art file layers with the pantone color format. For example: PANTONE 195C.

- If you choose to use our stock colors, please label your layers with the provided color name. For example: HYBRID YELLOW

Custom print colors?

To ensure a bespoke print experience, we offer custom ink mixing with plastisol inks using PMS Solid Coated formulas.

 

There is no extra charge for this service, but it will add 2 days to your lead time. For example: A 15 business day turnaround would grow to 17 business days.

You may also choose from our collection of stock inks. *Ask about our glow in the dark options!
