​

UNKNOWN GARMENTS

​

If garments are of unknown origin or if we have questions about the garments, then they must be inspected in person before we accept the job for product. We reserve the right to reject any garments for production. We look at the following criteria when inspecting garments prior to production.

​

• Are there multiple types of garment styles or materials? Inspect all.

• What material is the garment made of out?

• Is the garment camouflage or other dyes that like to migrate?

• Does the garment stretch?

• Is the garment ribbed?

• Can the requested decoration type be applied to this garment?

• Is customer requesting to print over the seams?

• How many layers does the garment have? 1 or 2?

• Will the print fit onto all of the requested garments?

• Will the garment fit onto the necessary platen?

• How expensive is the garment?
