What file formats do you accept for uploading my artwork?

We can have nearly all artwork recreated or digitized where necessary. While vector files are always preferred, we accept all the following artwork formats: .ai, .psd, .pdf, .cdr, .eps, .tiff, .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp, .png, .doc, .docx, .ppt, and .pptx.

The resolution should be a minimum of 300 DPI at print size.

What is the maximum size you can screen print my design?

The maximum screen print size for a design varies depending on the garment and decoration location. For example, a unisex adult shirt maximum print size is 14” wide x 15” height.

For more information on print sizes and decoration locations, please refer to our Artwork Placement Guide.

How big can my logo size be for custom embroidery?

You can let us know the size of the custom embroidered logo design you would like. Please do keep in mind that we do have some limitations in sizing. With custom embroidery, the price is based on the size of the logo (the number of stitches in the logo), but we can always determine this once we see the actual design.

We base our quotes on a 15,000-stitch count which cover most custom embroidered logos on the left chest or sleeve of our custom jackets or golf shirts. For a full front or full back logo location, we base our quotes on a 30,000-stitch count. Additional charges may apply if your logo exceeds the stitch count limit.

What if I want to use a previous artwork design?

We can do that! You can use previous artwork at no charge. If you have ordered with us in the past, you don’t have to upload your artwork again, we keep the files for you! Simply reference your previous work order number in your Order Notes.

Can I get help with my design?

Our in-house Art Department is trained and highly knowledged in graphic design. If you need help creating a logo from scratch, we can certainly help you. Please contact our Client Experience Team for more details at customercare@maraudersports.co.

You can also send us your artwork files to make minor size and colour adjustments. If you require full logo creation, additional charges will apply.

I have specific colours in my design. Do you pantone match colours?

While we do not pantone match colours, MSG&Co. carries an extensive inventory of stock colours that we use to match as closely to your design as possible. For a full list of stock inks and print media, click here.

How do you determine pricing?

Pricing is based on the type of garment you are looking to order, the quantity of garments, and the decoration method you have selected.

The price of printing is based on the number of print locations. Prices may vary with the number of colours in your design.

The price of embroidery is based on the number of embroidery locations and the size of each logo. Embroidery pricing is not based on the number of colours, but rather the number of stitches in each logo or design. Online quotes are based on a standard count of 15,000 stitches. Adjustments to quotes will be made for larger stitch counts.

The price of tackle twill is based on the design and number of colours.

Do you charge set up fees?

We are proud to offer our custom apparel with absolutely no set-up fees. Our all-inclusive pricing means the price you see is the price you pay!

When will I be charged?

Your credit card will not be charged until you have approved your digital proof and order details.

Once we receive your approval, we will email you our secure online payment link. When this authorization is completed, a hold for the funds will be placed on the card.

The full amount will be charged when the order is completed and ready for pickup or shipping.

What payment methods do you accept?

Entripy accepts payment by Visa, Mastercard, and American Express credit cards. Please note that debit cards cannot be processed at checkout.

What is Screen Printing?

We’re so glad you asked!

Screen printing is a method of decorating custom apparel using inks, which are passed through a mesh screen to achieve your design. In screen printing, your logo or design is exposed onto the screen, washed out, set-up on our press, and using a squeegee-type blade the ink is passed through the screen onto the shirt.

Entripy screen prints over 4 million custom t-shirts each year, so we really know what we’re doing!

Want more? Watch our behind the scenes video and see how Entripy screen prints custom t-shirts.

What kind of ink do you use?

Entripy uses Plastisol inks that are free from harmful Phthalates and lead which are verified and laboratory tested to the highest standards in the world.

In our decorating process, we use natural and biodegradable products and chemicals.

Will the ink rub off my custom t-shirts?

No, proper screen printing will not rub off, crack or peel. Screen printed designs are dry cured through a conveyor dryer once the temperature of the ink reaches 320 degrees Fahrenheit.

Do you offer metallic, glow in the dark or neon ink?

Yes, we do, however we do charge a premium for these inks. Please contact our Client Experience Team at clientcare@entripy.com if you’re interested in these inks.

What is custom embroidery?

Embroidery is a popular decoration method where your logo or design is sewn onto a garment using a needle and polyester thread. Entripy’s embroidery process is fully automated using top of the line Tajima machines and Isacord polyester threads.

You can embroider your logo on custom hats, hoodies, golf shirts, jackets and bags. The cost of embroidery is based on the number of stitches in your logo.

Interested in learning more about Entripy’s custom embroidery process? Watch this behind the scenes video.

Can you embroider t-shirts?

Yes, we can. However, we recommend against custom embroidery on t-shirts. The heavy weight of the thread used in embroidery can create puckering on a t-shirt, as well as an uneven logo.

For custom t-shirts, we recommend screen printing or digital heat transfer.

Why does the print on my 100% polyester garment look different from my 100% cotton garment?

Not all materials can be decorated using the exact same method. This is why we cater the best decoration type possible for the material of each unique garment.

While you may experience slight variances in texture and colour saturation, the end product will be the best result possible for each garment you have selected

What is Digital Heat Transfer?

Digital heat transfer is a method of decorating custom apparel where your design or logo is printed out onto quality digital paper and applied onto the garment using a heat press. This decoration method is typically used on small custom apparel orders of 1 to 6 pieces.

What is Tackle Twill?

Our college and university student clients love tackle twill! This method of decorating gives a prestigious value to your custom apparel. To customize a garment using tackle twill, the twill material is cut using a plotter machine and is then sewn onto the garment using an embroidery machine.

How do I get a quote?

You can get an instant quote online!

Simply select the colour and quantity of products you’d like to order.

Next, choose your decoration type, location, and number of colours in your design (if Print is your decoration type). Our online quote tool will give you your subtotal and price per garment instantly!

Change your quantities or decoration method and watch your quote automatically adjust. Our all-inclusive pricing ensures that there are no additional charges or set up feed. The price you see if the price you get!

You can also contact our Client Experience Team with your request. The more detailed you can be with your request, the faster we will be able to provide you with an accurate quote.

Do I have to order a minimum quantity?

Minimum quantities vary depending on the garment you are looking to order. You can find out the minimum quantity on the product page. We also offer a variety of products with no minimum quantity!

Shop our No Minimum collection to order as little as 1.

I’m not sure which garment I want. Can I get samples?

Due to the time and cost involved with producing one piece, we do not provide printed samples. However, we do create a digital proof for your approval before sending any order to production. This proof will give you an idea of what your final order will look like. Rest assured that all orders, large and small, are inspected by a Quality Control Specialist to ensure they match the approved digital proof as soon as possible.

You can also use our online Design Studio to create your own designs and test different products with your logo. Start designing now!

Do you provide printed samples?

Due to the time and cost involved with producing one piece, we do not provide printed samples.

However, we do create digital proofs to give you an idea of what your final order will look like. Rest assured that orders, large and small, are run by a Quality Control Specialist to ensure they match the digital proof as closely as possible.

Can I see an artwork proof before I confirm my order?

Absolutely! Creating a digital proof is part of the ordering process for all orders.

The digital proof will give you a visual idea of the design, size and placement of your artwork.

Please note the digital proof is created on a general template. When customized, the design may appear larger/smaller on some shirts depending on the size of the garment being printed (eg. Small vs XL shirts).

Due to variances in monitor calibration, colours on the proof may appear different on your screen.

How long does it take to get a proof of my artwork?

You will receive a digital proof within 3 to 4 business hours of submitting your order. Any revisions to your original proof will be delivered within 1 to 2 business hours.

Can I add a shirt of another style to my order?

Yes. If you’re looking to order 12 shirts in total, with 11 pieces being one style (eg. 5000) and 1 piece being another style (eg. 5000L), you are absolutely able to do this so long as the styles are crossover styles. The artwork must be the exact same size and colour on all of the shirts.

To place your order, you would order 12 pieces of 5000 then make a note in the Special Instructions section of your order that one of these shirts is to be a 5000L. Your order details will be confirmed by our Client Experience Team before your order is processed.

Can you decorate on items that I provide to you?

In order to ensure the best possible quality, Entripy does not decorate on client provided stock.

For inquiries of 500+ pieces of your own stock, please contact our Client Experience Team for more information.

Can I make changes to my order once it has been approved?

Unfortunately, once an order is approved, we cannot make any changes. Upon approval, our team gets started right away on ordering stock and preparing your artwork for printing to ensure speedy delivery of your custom apparel order.

I ordered some t-shirts and I want to get a few extras printed afterwards. Can I do this?

We always recommend ordering a few extra shirts in your initial order.

Once your order is approved, we cannot make any changes like adding additional items. Ordering a few extra shirts would be treated as a brand-new order and pricing will be based on a new quote for a smaller quantity. The order quantity may also affect the decoration type that we use to complete your order.

Screen printing is typically used for larger orders, whereas a smaller order for extra shirts may have to be decorated digitally.

Please keep in mind that minimum order quantities vary per garment style and some styles may not allow for a one-off or smaller quantity to be decorated.

What happens after I place an order?

Once you submit an order online, you will receive a digital proof, along with your order details within 3 to 4 business hours.

Once we receive your approval, your order will be put into production and a hold will be placed on your credit card. This is when our team begins preparing your artwork for printing and ordering your garments.

Please note that we have an approval cut-off time of 12:00PM EST each day. Approvals received by 12:00PM EST will begin our 5-day order completion process the following business day.

Once the order is decorated and packaged, we will convert your payment hold to a charge on your credit card. If your payment method is declined, the turnaround time will not begin until a payment hold is received.

What is your cancellation policy?

Unfortunately, once an order is approved, it cannot be cancelled.
