Although, we do have a small price cheat sheet you can look at to get a small idea of the cost of your order. Check it out below!

What kinds of specialty printing do you do?Some specialty printing we do includes bandana printing, cinch bags, totes, and pocket printing. You can also ask for specialty inks like metallic inks, discharge inks, and even water-based inks.

-
What is an underbase?In order to print your design on darker garments, something called an underbase must be printed on your shirt. This acts as a foundation for the ink colors in your design so that they stay separated from the shirt. This keeps the colors of your designs true to your original artwork. Without the underbase, the darker garment color will darken and desaturate the entirety of your design and may make it appear slightly transparent.
-
Where can you print on a garment?For normal garments like tees and sweaters, we can print on the front, the back, and both sleeves. Places we can't print are the hoods and pockets of hooded sweatshirts, over the shoulders, along seams, and on any garment that is double-lined (such as some jackets and winter wear). We also can not do "all-over" prints and "wrap-around" prints.
-
Can I use different colors for the same design?We have a $15 ink color change fee. These are charged per instance. We must print at least 12 shirts per ink color to do a color change.

What is the minimum order quantity for screen printing?Screen printing has a minimum of 25 garments per design.
-
Can I print trademarked artwork?No! There are certain things we can print if it is for personal use. If you are reselling your apparel for your business, it is your responsibility to ensure the originality of your own design.
-
Could I get woven patches?While we can do patches, we do not sew them on. Instead, we heat press patches onto your items. Patches also have a different minimum than embroidery. While you can order 6 pieces for embroidery, you must order 50 patches. Although you don't have to use them all right away. We will keep any patches you don't use ready for future orders for you.
-
Are there any special fees associated with embroidery?For embroidery, your design has to be digitized for an embroidery machine to read. There is a 1-time fee of $50 to digitize your design. If you reorder your design for embroidery, the fee will be waived!

If you already paid a design fee on your order, there is a possibility this fee may be waived!
-
What file formats work best for your designer?The quality of the art on your project is directly correlated with the files and art that you can provide to us. As such, we want to be able to procure the highest quality formats for you so your project is clean and neat. The file formats we prefer go as follows: .AI - This is an Adobe Illustrator file. Usually used for vector graphics. This is the best file you can provide to us. .PSD - This is a Photoshop Document. Usually used for raster graphics. If you are saving a .PSD file for us, please make sure it is 300dpi or more! .SVG - Scaleable Vector Graphic. This is another form of vector file. .PNG - This is a flat image. Some recreation of the art may be needed in order to complete your project. .JPG - This is the lowest quality file we will accept. JPG files harbor the most digital artifacts and must be recreated in some capacity.
-
Could you help me flesh out my idea for a brand?While branding is not quite our wheelhouse, we can still help with laying the groundwork for you with logo work and brand specifications.
-
Do you have a designer that I can work with?Yes! We have an in-house designer that sets up all our jobs to be print. They also assist in creating new designs, recreating designs, and suggesting what would look best for your project.
-
How much does it cost to have custom designs made by Twine?Pricing custom art is determined in 3 ways: time, energy, and complexity. We are happy to work with you on all aspects of your design. Ultimately our designer helps determine the cost based on the workload of the project.
