Graphic design services
Logos drawn from scratch, old artwork rebuilt, and files prepared so they print and stitch properly. Send whatever you have — a sketch, a photo of an old shirt, a logo someone made years ago — and you get a real price back within one business day.
Free mockups online
Every item in our online catalogue has a Create virtual sample button: put your logo on it and see it before you order. Design work is only quoted when you want us to draw or rebuild something.
Quote in 1 business day
Design time is quoted with the job and itemised, so you can see what the drawing costs and what the printing costs.
We work from what you have
No file, no problem. A phone photo of a shirt from ten years ago is enough to start from.
What we design
- Logos and wordmarks — from nothing, or a cleaned-up version of what you already use
- Old artwork rebuilt — redrawn properly so it can be printed at any size
- Print-ready files for shirts, hats and hard goods
- Embroidery files, simplified so the design survives being stitched
- Layouts for vehicle wraps, signs and banners and cornhole boards
Why the file matters more than the drawing
For a clean print, artwork needs about 150 dots per inch at the size it is printed, double the 75 DPI some printers accept as a bare minimum. That decides how big your existing logo can be printed, and the arithmetic is unforgiving: divide the width of your file in pixels by 150.
| The file you have | Largest it can be printed | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 340 px wide (a logo pulled off a website) | 2.3 inches | A left-chest embroidery panel, and nothing bigger |
| 500 px | 3.3 inches | A cap front |
| 1,000 px | 6.7 inches | A pocket print or a mug wrap |
| 1,800 px | 12 inches | A full front print |
| Vector (.ai, .eps, .pdf, .svg) | Any size at all | Everything, including a vehicle and a banner |
So before you plan a back print around the logo in your email signature, check its pixel width. If it is the 340-pixel version most websites serve, it prints 2.3 inches wide and no further — enlarging it just makes the blur bigger. Rebuilding it as vector is a one-time job that then covers every shirt, sign, wrap and board you ever order, and it is the single cheapest thing you can do before a big run.
Embroidery adds a second limit that no file size fixes: thread will not hold a line much under a millimetre. On a four-inch chest panel a hairline serif or a thin script either drops out or blobs together, which is why a stitched version of a logo is usually a simplified version of it. We tell you what has to change before anything is sewn, not after.
How it works
- Send what you have. A file, a photo, a sketch, or a description of what you want. Tell us what it is going on.
- We quote. One business day, with the design time separated from the printing so you can see both.
- We draw it. You see it before anything is produced, and you say what to change.
- It goes to production — onto shirts, a van, a sign or a set of boards, at the size the file can actually carry.
What it costs
We do not publish a design rate, because design time is not a product. Cleaning up a file someone already drew and building a brand mark from a blank page are different jobs with an hour of work between them, and quoting either one sight-unseen would be a guess. Send the artwork and you get a real number in one business day.
What we can tell you now, before you ask:
- Mocking it up yourself is free. Every product in our online catalogue has a Create virtual sample button.
- Embroidery needs one extra step. Your design has to be converted into stitch instructions before anything is sewn. That happens once per design, not once per shirt, so it weighs on a single hat and disappears on a team order.
- Vehicle work already has published ranges — lettering $50 to $150, a partial wrap $500 to $1,500, a full wrap $4,000 to $7,000. The figures and what moves them are on the vehicle wraps page.
- Design done for a job you order stays with that job. If you want the source files to take elsewhere, say so when you ask and it will be quoted in.
What to send us
- The best version you own. Vector (.ai, .eps, .pdf, .svg) if it exists; otherwise the largest PNG or JPG you can find, straight from the source rather than from a website.
- Where it is going — shirts, a cap, a truck, a banner, a set of boards. It changes what the file has to be.
- Colours, including Pantone numbers if your brand has them.
- Anything you like or hate, including other people’s work. It saves a round of guessing.
