## What they make

- Decorate tees, polos, dress shirts, sweatshirts, sweaters, jackets, hats and uniforms.
  - Scarves, sportswear, aprons and tote bags, plus towels, blankets, linens and pet beds. Ask which garment brands, styles and fabrics are in stock.

## Minimums and pricing

- Direct-to-garment orders can be for a single shirt; larger runs are also offered.
  - Direct-to-garment orders can include 1,000 shirts; ask for the maximum run, other method minimums and full prices. Basic direct-to-garment artwork preparation and layout have no setup charge, but designing new graphics can add a fee. Basic embroidery preparation is free; special logo or graphic digitising adds a one-time setup charge based on size and complexity.

## Samples and lead times

- Direct-to-garment shirts can often be ready in 2–3 business days.
  - Requirements, workload and shipping time affect readiness. Ask when timing starts and what completion, dispatch and arrival dates apply.
- Visit the shop to view completed direct-to-garment, embroidery or vinyl projects.
  - View completed work at the shop; ask whether you can order, borrow or receive a mailed sample and what it costs.

## Artwork and print areas

- Provide the design for scaling and formatting before direct garment printing.
  - The garment is printed directly and heat-set. The supplier gives process capabilities of up to 16 million colours and 600 DPI; these are separate from an artwork-file requirement or maximum print area. Basic preparation is free, while graphics created from scratch can cost extra.

## Branding and packaging

- Embroider names, monograms and logos in up to nine colours per design.
  - Choose from more than 5,000 designs in 25 categories, modify stock text and colours, or supply a logo for digitising. Special digitising setup depends on size and complexity. Agree stitch counts, file format, dimensions, garment compatibility and labels or packaging.
- Apply die-cut vinyl lettering, numbers or graphics using a heat press.
  - Solid and metallic colours can be layered. Spectra Cut II transfer vinyl comes in 22 colours and is washable and dry-cleanable; the brand refers to transfer vinyl.

## Store integrations and API

- The shop links to a Shopify store for its own apparel designs.
  - Retail ordering for its own designs. Ask whether a seller integration, API, automated order routing or individual customer fulfillment is available.

## About the company

- The shop is at 2825 Baily Avenue, San Diego, California, in City Heights.
  - Hours: Monday–Friday, 8 am–5 pm; Saturday by appointment. Contact by phone, email or an in-person visit. Ask which legal entity and production location handle your order, where it ships from, and what payment and defect-remedy conditions apply.

## Ask before ordering
