Frequently Asked Questions About Creative Concepts Sportswear
What is screen printing and how does it work?
Screen printing is a technique where ink is forced through a stenciled mesh screen onto a substrate, such as fabric or paper. Each color in the design requires its own screen, making this method particularly effective for bold, vivid designs.
Why choose screen printing over other methods?
Screen printing offers several advantages: long-lasting prints that resist fading, cost-effectiveness for large orders, compatibility with various materials including t-shirts and bags, and the ability to produce high-quality, vibrant designs.
What types of garments can be screen printed?
Screen printing can be applied to a wide range of garments including t-shirts, hoodies, jackets, hats, and tote bags. Most fabric types such as cotton, polyester, and blended materials are suitable for this printing method.
What file types do you need for artwork?
For optimal results, we recommend vector files (.ai, .eps) or high-resolution pdfs. For embroidery or specialized printing techniques, digitized files may be necessary.
Can I supply my own garments?
Yes, we accept customer-supplied garments. However, these items must be new and suitable for screen printing. We advise providing extra pieces to account for potential misprints.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Minimum order quantities vary by company, typically ranging from 24 to 48 pieces for shirts. Some providers offer no minimum but may charge higher rates for small orders due to setup costs.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing factors include order quantity, number of colors in the design, garment type, and print locations. Setup fees are often applied per color used in the design.
What is the typical turnaround time?
Standard production time is generally 7-10 business days after artwork approval. Expedited options may be available for an additional fee.
Do I get a proof before production?
Yes, we provide a digital proof for customer approval prior to beginning the printing process.
