Frequently Asked Questions:
What is screen printing?
Screen printing is a methodical, detailed process of stenciling single and multi-color images. more information...
_____________________________________________
Do you have minimums on ordering?
Not with our locally supplied shirts, but set-up is the same whether you print one shirt or 100. So the more shirts your order, the more inexpensive it becomes.
If you order American Apparel shirts*, there is a 12 piece minimum - same style, color, & size. *Please note: not all styles on their site are available for wholesale printing.

Do you print flatstock like posters and wedding invitations?
Yes! This process is different than printing t-shirts and is a feat in technical problem solving... but the results are beautifully unique. more information...
____________________________________________
What is your turn-around time?
Turn-around time is dependent on the complexity of your design and quantity of shirts you want printed. Sometimes Gregg can print a job and turn it around in just a couple days... but to be safe, it is good to figure 7-10 business days.
