| For apparel we offer Embroidery, Screen Printing (Minimums apply), Heat Imprints and Transfers. For Promotional products, it is entirely based on the type of product you request as to the method of customizing. Here are some guidelines when considering your designs, Golden rule - more than 3 different typestyles in a piece of art makes it look too busy. Choose the right typestyle for the right size. For example, Aardvark type style does not work well on caps because the letter openings are small and get even smaller when reduced, making the letters hard to read. Keep in mind the garment color. This is important because it helps the designer incorporate the garment color, when possible, into the design. Also, it helps the designer make certain clip arts look more natural on a certain shirt color. For example, you are putting a white design on a black shirt but the clip art includes an 8 ball. The graphic designer can reverse the colors on the ball so it will show through to the shirt and be its actual color. If you are not sure what color placement will look best on your multi-color order, allow our designers to choose the best color placement for you.. When choosing an ARC format for the letters, it is best not to specify letter height because ARCS must be stretched proportionately. ARCHES are excellent for specific letter height. We measure the middle letters for the height. We can stretch it to 11" wide, 14" wide, 3" tall... whatever size you want! Keep legibility in mind when deciding how many words are in a line of type. More than 3 words becomes hard to read. If you are not sure what will look best, let the designer decide. Also, keep in mind that height, case, and typestyle affect legibility.

Sleeve 2.5 x 14 Area When a height is specified in which the type is either Upper case or Upper/lower case, and there are no descenders, the Upper case letters will be the specified height. When a height is specified in which the type is Upper/lower case and descenders are present, we measure the upper case letters. When lettering for a specifically sized area is required, we suggest allowing our designers to compose a configuration that will best fit your needs. |
