09FAQ

Questions, answered

(714) 754-4220 Mon – Fri · 8:00am – 4:30pm
Do you have minimum order quantities?

No. ColorStitch has no minimums — whether you need a single embroidered cap or hundreds of shirts for an event, we're happy to help. Direct-to-garment printing is especially cost-effective for small runs because there are no set-up fees.

What's the difference between screen printing and DTG?

Screen printing pushes ink through a separate screen for each color, so it offers bold, durable color and the best value as quantities grow. DTG (direct-to-garment) prints your design digitally straight onto the fabric — there's no set-up or color separation, so full-color and photographic designs cost the same as simple ones, and prints won't chip or peel.

Is embroidery or printing better for my logo?

Embroidery gives a premium, textured look that is ideal for polos, caps, jackets and uniforms. Printing works best for T-shirts, large artwork and designs with lots of color or fine detail. Tell us how the garments will be used and we'll recommend the right option.

Do you make uniforms for sports teams and leagues?

Yes. We outfit youth teams, leagues, high school and college sports, plus action-sports brands in skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding and motocross — from one team to an entire league, with embroidery or digital printing.

Can you make custom embroidered patches?

Yes. We produce custom embroidered patches in-house with sew-on or adhesive backing, as well as appliqué for team and varsity-style lettering.

Do you offer garment relabeling for clothing brands?

Yes. We relabel garments in-house, so emerging and established brands can put their own label on quality blanks and have them decorated and finished in one place.

Which apparel brands can you source?

We work with many leading vendors including SanMar, Gildan, Next Level Apparel, Independent Trading Co., Flexfit, Cotton Heritage, Bodek and Rhodes, TSC Apparel, American Sportswear and Decky — giving you one of the biggest selections of garments available.

What artwork files should I send?

Vector files such as AI, EPS, PDF or SVG are ideal. High-resolution PNG files also work well, especially for DTG. Email your artwork to [email protected] after submitting your quote request.
