FAQ
Design/Order Issues
How do I add or change an element beyond what the Design Lab offers?
You can get your design as close as possible in the builder, then use the follow-up quote and approval process to add or amend any design elements beyond what the builder offers.
Is there a way to leave notes on my order?
Yes! After you've clicked "add to cart" and you're looking at your cart page, in the bottom left hand corner there is an "order notes" text box. Leave your detailed notes and one of our artists will see it when they begin working on your mockup.
How do I remove "SAMPLE" text from a design?
Any SAMPLE text that is left uncustomized will be removed for the production art mock-ups. If you want to customize and add this text back in, after the fact, that is done via the final art approval process.
How can I access advanced type features and text effects?
Advanced type features - like vertically arched or multi-font type - can be applied by our Art Team during your quote approval process. Just get the type as close as possible in the builder and we'll work on it from there.
What is the minimum order quantity and why is there a minimum at all?
Most of our custom products have a minimum order of 6. These products require setup and having a minimum order quantity helps spread these costs across a larger order volume
Can I use Design Lab to make my own - non-templated - design?
All orders not based of a Design Lab template are best handled directly by our Art Team. Reach out to Customer Service and they'll help you get the process started.
Why is Design Lab telling me I've uploaded a 'Low quality print file?'
Any files that are uploaded are checked against what size they will appear on the finished garment. If they are below 300 DPI, they might not print properly. If you can track down a higher resolution file, please upload that. If a larger file is not available, our Art Team will attempt to trace the art. If the file is not large enough to trace, they will reach out to you with other options.
How do I keep my text/logo from being cropped on the final design?
Our Art Team will correct any issues with logos or text being cropped and not fully visible on your design. If you do not like the solution they provide on your final mock-up an alternative approach will be pursued.
How do I remove the outline from my Text?
'Removing' the outline from text can be achieved by selecting the same color for the outline that the element surrounding it has been assigned.
How do I use a font that is not listed on my Text element?
Fonts outside our base list can be applied by our Art Team. Just get the type as close as you can in the builder and instruct the team on which font you'd like to use during the Final Art Approval process.
How do I add sizes to my order?
All sizing information - when using your desktop or laptop - is best handled using the 'List View' available by pressing the corresponding button above the size entry panel.
If using the standard sizing interface, add your sizes and quantities by pressing the 'Add another item' button. When you reach your last size, add another item, then delete that last item.
Can I use colors not listed on the default list?
Our default color list is provided in order to match pre-colored elements of the product such as singlet trim, headgear straps, etc.
Any use of colors outside this default palette must be handled by our Art Team after placing your order. Select the closest matching color in the builder and specify the Pantone PMS swatch you'd like to match during the Final Art Approval process
Is there anything I can't use in my designs?
We do not allow the use of copyrighted intellectual property or vulgar words or images. We reserve the right to refuse all designs that contain elements that we feel do not meet our guidelines for use
Production Issues
What if I want to change or cancel my order?
Both your design and order can be changed or canceled at any point during the quote approval process.
How long before I receive my oder?
Delivery times vary based on seasonal order volume and individual order contents. The vast majority of order ship within 3-5 weeks from final art approval.
Where is my order being made?
All of our singlets are produced in Ann Arbor, MI, USA. Other products may vary between our offshore factories and domestic sewing lines.
How can I track my order?
You will receive tracking information that will update once your custom order ships. There is not tracking info available until an order ships. Orders usually ship within 3-5 weeks of final art approval.
Other Issues
How do I return my custom order?
Custom orders are final and only returnable if there is a mistake in their production. Custom orders that are received - and match the final approved mock-up - are non-returnable. If there is a problem with the production of your order, please contact Customer Service
Can I order extra singlets of the same design at a later date?
Yes! All of our custom gear designs are saved and logged for future use. We can 'fill in' to these orders at any point you need. (Below 6 pieces are subject to an upcharge of 50% for 2-5 units, and 100% for 1 unit).
What is Sublimation and how does it work?
Sublimation is the most innovative process in the team uniform industry. The design possibilities are endless, as digital artwork is dye transferred on to fabric panels allowing for the ultimate in creativity and durability. This cutting edge process ensures that your uniforms will be light weight and durable.
What is Sublimated Twill and how is it applied?
Sublimated twill is a process where logos, letters, names, etc. are printed, pressed and cut from polyester twill fabric and then sewn on to a garment. An adhesive backing tacks the material in place and the edges are sewn down with zig-zag or embroidered stitching. Tackle twill is a traditional, premium decorating process used by many high level and professional sports teams and adding sublimation to this process adds to its convienance.
