My customer would like his logo on both youth and adult shirts. What is the best way to proceed?

To print on both youth and adult shirts with the same screen, your customer will need to agree on a compromised print size that will fit all sizes youth through adult. If your customer wishes to use two different sized prints, your order will be split and treated as two separate orders. If the order is split, you must have at least 24 pieces for both the adult and youth order.

Do you offer specialty inks?
Available specialty inks including finesse, metallic, puff and glitter. Printing with any specialty ink will incur a 30¢ per print specialty ink up-charge.
