FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What apparel/garments/items are available for custom orders?

Product Availability

We have access to a large variety of garment types, colors, and sizes for custom orders.  At this time we are focusing on t-shirts, long sleeve t's, hoodies, sweatshirts, sweatpants, bandanas, tote bags, jerseys, patches, and posters.  If you are looking for help with a project using a garment/item not listed here, please check with us at info@handhewnprinting.com.

Art Guidelines

In order to offer a wide variety of brands, styles, colors, and sizes, HandHewn Printing is unable to stock blank garments.  Sometimes blank garments and specialty products/materials can become out of stock during the quote process.  While this can be unfortunate, HandHewn Printing will not be held liable for delays due to manufacturer out-of-stock or discontinued items.  You will be notified immediately if a product is no longer available and a comparable item will be offered.  Additional charges may apply if comparable item is more expensive.

Design Proofing

All art must be submitted at 300dpi resolution or higher and sized to the actual print size.  If able, vector files (.SVG) are preferred.  Other acceptable formats are .EPS, .PSD, .AI, and .PDF.  
Does this sound like a different language? Do you need help with a design, but don't know much about artwork formatting?  No problem at all!  We are more than happy to help walk you through the process.  Just contact us directly and we will get you started.

Prior to printing, we like to make sure we are on the same page.  We will send you a digital proof of what your design will look like on the product you've selected.  Once approved, we will move forward with production.  A physical sample can be produced upon request; however, a fee will be assessed if you decide to change the design.  
It is the customer's responsibility to verify that all of the information on the proof is correct (including spelling and grammar).  If an error is found after your order has been approved and printed, HandHewn Printing will not be held liable for the cost associated with reprinting.  We assume no liability for errors in approved designs.

Print Location and Size

It is the customer's responsibility to provide details regarding print placement and size.  If no details are provided, HandHewn Printing will print in standard locations, which will be represented in the order proof.  Please keep in mind the scale of the print will vary on different sized garments.  
There is a human element in the screen printing process.  Each garment is loaded and printed by hand.  Due to this, we cannot be held liable for printing placements less than 1/2" variance.  We do our best to load each garment so that the placement is in accordance with the proof.  

Ink Choices

We offer plastisol, waterbased, and discharge for garments.  If you have qustions about the look, feel, and durability of these choices, especially in comparison to other methods (such as DTG) please ask.  We choose to work exclusively with these materials for good reason!

Customer Provided Goods

We are happy to provide printing services on customer supplied garments on a case by case basis.  Please contact us for more information.

Payment

Invoices must be paid in full before we begin the custom order process.  You will be emailed an invoice through Square for payment.  We accept credit cards, checks, and purchase orders.
