HOW IT WORKS

Instant pricing,
human review.

Every order through Apparel2order works the same way: you build the job and see a real price instantly, and a production person reviews it before anything is committed. That second step is deliberate: it's the difference between a price generator and a shop that stands behind the number. Here's the whole process, and the questions we hear most.

WHY WE DO IT THIS WAY

Why a person checks every order.

Automation prices the job. People catch the problems that would have shown up in your box.

01

Artwork that won't survive the press

A logo that looks crisp on your screen can fall apart at 3 inches wide in a single ink color. We check resolution, line weight, and color count against the method you picked: and fix what's fixable before it costs you a reprint.

02

Stock that moves while you're deciding

Blank inventory shifts hourly across supplier warehouses. Review is where we lock your sizes and colors against real stock, and propose the closest equivalent before production, not after the boxes arrive short.

03

Method-garment mismatches

Some combinations just don't work: certain decoration on certain fabrics, oversize prints on small garments, placements that fight a seam. The wizard prevents most of it; review catches the rest.

04

The price you approve is the price you pay

Because a person confirmed the job, the quote doesn't grow surprise line items later. If anything needs to change, you approve the revision first, never discover it on an invoice.

THE PROCESS

Submit to delivery in five steps.

1. Build & price

Pick your blank, decoration method, placements, and quantities in the wizard. The price you see is computed live from real blank costs and our actual rate tables, not an estimate.

2. Submit: free

Submitting sends the job to our team and emails you a reference number plus an artwork upload link. No payment, no commitment.

3. Review & confirm

A production person verifies stock, artwork, and decoration fit, then confirms your quote within one business day: or asks the one or two questions that save a reprint later.

4. Proof & approve

You get a proof of your art on your garment. Revisions are free. Production starts only after you approve: and payment happens here, not before.

5. Production & delivery

5-10 business days by method after art approval; rush tiers when the calendar demands. Ship to you, split-ship, or pick up.

Reorders: one email

Art, colors, and history stay on file. Reorders skip art and proofing: send new counts and we'll quote the same day.

FAQS

The questions we hear most.

Why does my quote get reviewed instead of charging me instantly?

Custom decoration has real failure modes: artwork that won't reproduce at size, garments that don't suit the method, stock gaps at the warehouse. A person checks every order so the price you approve is one we can deliver. The instant price is real; the review makes it dependable.

What happens right after I submit?

You get a confirmation email with your reference number and an artwork upload link. We review and respond within one business day with your confirmed quote or a clarifying question. Nothing is charged at submission.

Is the instant price the final price?

It's computed from live blank costs and our actual decoration rates, so it's accurate for what you configured. It becomes final once we verify artwork and stock. Any change gets your approval before production, never after.

When do I pay?

After you approve the confirmed quote. Submitting a request costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

What if my artwork isn't ready?

Submit anyway: every quote includes an upload link you can use any time, and we'll send a reminder. Only have an idea or a napkin sketch? Send it. Cleanup, vectorization, and layout are part of the job.

Do I see a proof before you print?

Always. Your art on your garment, revisions free, and production starts only after you sign off.

How fast can you turn an order?

5-10 business days depending on method after art approval. DTF fastest, screen printing 7-10. Rush tiers cut that to as little as 2-3 days, priced live in the wizard. For hard event dates, tell us the date and we schedule backwards from it.

Can I change my order after submitting?

Until you approve the final quote, everything is adjustable, quantities, garments, methods, delivery. After approval, call us right away and we'll change whatever production hasn't consumed yet.
