Ordering custom apparel for the first time — or even the tenth time — can feel overwhelming. How many pieces do you need? Which technique is right? What file format should you send? At PrintPress in Drummondville, QC, we've simplified the process so you can go from idea to finished garments with as little friction as possible. Here's exactly how it works.
Step 1 — Define Your Project
Before reaching out, it helps to have a rough idea of what you need. Think about:
- The type of garment (t-shirts, hoodies, polos, caps, etc.)
- The approximate quantity (our minimum is 12 pieces)
- The decoration method you're considering (screen printing, DTF, or embroidery)
- Your logo or artwork (even a rough draft is fine at this stage)
- Your deadline
You don't need to have everything figured out — our team will help fill in the gaps.
Step 2 — Request Your Free Quote
Head to our Quick Order page and submit your project details. You can upload your logo, describe what you need, and leave your contact information. We respond to every request within 24 hours with a detailed quote — no obligation, no pressure.
If you're unsure which technique is right for your design or budget, just say so. We'll walk you through the options and recommend the best approach.
Step 3 — Approve the Quote and Artwork Proof
Once you've accepted the quote, our production team prepares an artwork proof — a visual mockup showing your design on the garment, with placement, size, and colors confirmed. We won't start production until you've approved the proof in writing.
For embroidery orders, you'll also receive a stitch count and thread color confirmation before we proceed.
Step 4 — Production
After approval, your order enters production. Turnaround times vary depending on the technique and quantity, but we aim to keep you informed at every stage. Rush orders can often be accommodated — ask about expedited production when you submit your quote.
Step 5 — Quality Control and Shipping
Every order goes through a quality check before it leaves our facility. We verify print alignment, color accuracy, and overall garment quality. Once approved internally, your order is carefully packed and shipped to your door — anywhere in Canada. Tracking information is provided as soon as your shipment is on its way.
Tips for a Smooth Order
- Send vector artwork (.AI or .PDF) whenever possible — it saves time and ensures the sharpest result
- Order a few extra pieces as buffer — reprinting single items is more costly than adding to the original run
- Confirm your size breakdown before approving — changes after production begins can cause delays
- Reach out early for seasonal orders (back-to-school, holidays) as production slots fill up fast
