The set up for screen printed items is the same amount of work whether we have an order for one shirt or an order for 5,000 shirts. To keep the site profitable for us, we can only set up so many designs at one time to then bulk print all the orders placed through your site. The more print options you have, the more your total quantity for each set up will be split amongst the designs, also making our labor costs go up. So instead, we utilize varying products and styles that can receive the same prints.

Our recommendation is one full front print, one left chest print, and one leg/sleeve print. You can also do a left chest embroidery and/or front of caps/beanies/bags.

Yes, but only if the site contains embroidered items only. No promotional items and no screen printed items. We just aren’t set up yet to meet that sort of demand with screen printing and most promotional items. However, if you only have items with embroidery on your site, the orders can be processed and set up with ease to ship out asap. No need to wait and run all the orders at one time like with screen printed items. This also means your site doesn’t have to close. It can remain open for as long as you want people to be able to order from it.

If you want to have a store that is open all the time and ships orders on demand, the only available option is to use screen printed transfers. This requires you to purchase the transfers up front before opening the store. We recommend you do a temporary store run 2-3 times and average your sales to determine if including the screen printed apparel is worth your investment in transfers. Because of the varying design sizes and transfer sheet sizes, pricing is not set until designs and ink colors are confirmed. If you want more information on this option, you can email sales@empireprinting.com.

Yes, if we had items pre-made and stocked in storage as inventory, we could then ship those items on demand. However, we have certain requirements to hold items in inventory for you. If you are interested in that, you can contact austin@empireprinting.com to go over the details.

No. We care about saving the trees and minimizing our negative environmental impact. We know they would be easier for some people to use than placing web orders but there is a much larger margin for error when we mix the two, delayed payments, and too many extra lines of communication. Keep it simple, order online.

Definitely Maybe. We have some clients who will run a spirit wear store for a period of time in the fall and then again in the spring. We have your site saved and can always reopen it again. That said, we like to be as efficient as possible. We encourage people to be mindful of the time frame and we include a countdown on the home page of your site so there is no question on when it will close.

If you have people asking to extend the ordering window, we can always adjust the time frame or reopen the site. Of course the more you can encourage people to order while the site is open, the better it will be for all parties involved. Otherwise, it’s just chaos everywhere.

Yes. We create a flyer for your optional usage to help promote your site. It is sent to you in an email as a .PDF and/or .JPG file.

After the store closes and all orders ship out, a rebate check will be processed and mailed to you. Any items on backorder past the delivery deadline will be removed from the initial rebate check. Once the backorders are fulfilled, a credit will be applied to your account for future use or an additional rebate check will be mailed out per your preference. The rebate check is only available for sites that sell their items at an increased price.

Once the store has closed, we typically have a three week production time frame. This allows us to produce the items, try to correct any mistakes or missing products, organize the orders with their packing slips, and prepare all the orders to bulk ship to your location.
