FAQ

I don't have access to Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop can you help me out?

Creating your own designs with online graphic software is a great way to create a rough draft of your desired t-shirt design. However, there are a few steps that need to be followed in order to get your idea print-ready.

To ensure we provide you with the best service possible at CHUX print, please inform us if you’re using applications other than Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop for your t-shirt designs. Letting us know helps us understand the specifics of your file and how to handle it more effectively.

 


Can I supply my own artwork?

Yes please.  We ask that you provide your camera ready artwork (text in outlines) in one of the following :

.pdf  [vector only]
.ai - Adobe Illustrator [vector only]
.eps - Encapsulated Post Script  [vector only]
.psd - Photoshop Document  [300dpi at 100% print size]
.jpg - Jpeg image [300dpi at 100% print size]


I can not provide CHUX with any of the recommend file types, can CHUX help me with design?

Absolutely.  We can work with you and create your design for you. Please inquire about design rates.


My company logo has a specific color - can you match it?

Yes. We use the Pantone Matching System (PMS) - it is the standard when it come to colors.  We will need you to provide us with the Pantone number (eg. PMS 186 red) and we will come as close as possible. 

How much does it cost?

Since each project we work on is unique in product, design, and quantity we need to create a custom quote for each.  In general, factors that dictate pricing are: style or brand of apparel (Heavy Weight T-shirt,  Tri-blend longsleeve, Gildan hoodie, etc.) / number of print locations (front only, front and sleeve, etc.) / number of colors in each print location (1 color – 12 color) / quantity ordered (price breaks at 12, 25, 50, 100, 200, 350, 500, etc...)


How can I get a quote?

If you are unsure about product or how many colors are in your designs – please give us as much information as possible for what you are looking for by filling out this form.


What kind of stuff do you have?

We order in blank apparel for each individual project.  This means we do not limit ourselves to only a couple brands that we have in our warehouse.  The choices are almost endless.  Some of our favorites are: Next Level, Bella Canvas, and Independent Trading Co.– but, we have thousands of more options.  Please inquire.


Can I get just 1 or 2 shirts?

Sorry.  Due to the time and cost associated with a project, 12 pieces  is our minimum order size.   However, a combination of same material t-shirts,  sweatshirts , long sleeve t-shirts, etc.  can be printed with the same artwork and  ink colors.  


How long does it take?

In general, it takes about 7-10 working days from when we receive an order and artwork is approved (does not include shipping).  However, we offer no guarantees on that time frame. 


I didn't plan that far ahead.  Any chance you can get it done sooner?

Yes, there is a chance depending on our production schedule.  We are more then happy to work with you to avoid any rush fees and meet your deadline.  However, if our production schedule does not allow for an additional project by your deadline – a rush charge will be applied.  Please inquire if you need a rush.


Once I have finalized my order will I still be able to make changes?

After the order has been placed & artwork is approved we move very quickly.  This makes it difficult to make any changes.  Please make sure that you have double checked your order before you place it and carefully review your artwork proof* before approving.

* You are responsible for any inaccuracies in artwork that has been approved.  Please be sure to double check our spelllling.    


What are my payment options?

We ask for half up front and  half on completion of the job for new customers.  Once a good working relationship has been established we will consider payment in full upon completion. 

Cash
Check (established customers only) no personal checks
Credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover) A service charge may apply


Can I provide my own apparel for CHUX to print on?

We only print on apparel we can provide. 


When can I pick up my order?

We will notify you via email or phone call when your order is ready to pick up in our Will Call area.  Generally our Will Call hours are Monday - Friday   8am-4pm.


Can I just stop in and talk with someone about placing an order?
