Technical FAQ: Expert Answers to Your Customization Questions
Based on 15 years of manufacturing experience and thousands of successful customization projects, here are the most important technical and practical questions we help clients navigate.
Q: What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for custom projects, and why?
A: Our Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) are structured to provide the best balance of cost-effectiveness and manufacturing quality for each specific customization method.
- Heat Transfer & DTG Printing: The MOQ is 25 pieces. These digital processes have minimal setup, making them ideal for smaller runs, prototypes, or orders with high design complexity.
- Embroidery: The MOQ is 25 pieces. While there is a one-time digital programming fee for the design, the process is well-suited for smaller, high-value orders.
- Screen Printing: The MOQ is 100 pieces per design. This method involves significant setup (creating screens, mixing specific Pantone inks, press calibration). The higher MOQ allows us to amortize these initial costs, resulting in a much lower per-piece price on larger volume orders.
Why do we have these MOQs? Our MOQs are not arbitrary; they are based on the technical and economic realities of high-quality production. They ensure that we can dedicate the necessary resources to pre-production checks, color matching, and quality control for every run, whether large or small, while providing you with a fair and competitive price.
For large-volume contracts or ongoing partnerships with varied designs, we are happy to discuss more flexible arrangements. We also offer 1-5 piece sample orders so you can validate the quality before committing to a full production run.
Q: What file formats do you need for logo reproduction, and how do you ensure color accuracy?
A: To achieve the highest quality reproduction, we strongly prefer vector file formats.
- Preferred Formats:
- .AI (Adobe Illustrator)
- .EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)
- .PDF (Vector-based)
- .SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)
Vector files allow us to scale your logo to any size without any loss of quality, ensuring crisp lines and a professional finish. If you only have raster formats like .JPG, .PNG, or .TIFF, please provide the highest resolution possible (ideally 300 DPI at the intended print size). Our design team can often vectorize these for a small fee to guarantee the best result.
How We Ensure Color Accuracy: We follow a rigorous, multi-step process to ensure your brand colors are matched perfectly:
- Pantone® Matching: We use the Pantone Matching System (PMS) as our standard. If you provide specific PMS codes for your brand, we will match them precisely. If not, we will identify the closest PMS equivalent from your artwork.
- Ink Formulation: Our ink technicians custom-mix inks to match the approved Pantone codes for screen printing. For digital methods, our printers are calibrated to the same color standards.
- Pre-Production Swatch: For large or color-critical orders, we can produce a physical fabric swatch with the printed color for your approval before starting mass production.
- First-Piece Inspection: The very first garment off the production line is inspected against the master color standard under controlled lighting to ensure a perfect match before the rest of the order proceeds.
Q: How do you ensure customization doesn't compromise safety compliance (ANSI/EN standards)?
A: This is a critical aspect of our process, and we guarantee that all customizations are performed in a way that maintains the garment’s original safety certification.
Our “Safety-First” customization protocol is managed by our compliance experts:
- Initial Design Review: Before a sample is even made, our technical team reviews your proposed logo size and placement against the specific standard’s requirements (e.g., ANSI/ISEA 107 for North America, EN ISO 20471 for Europe).
- Surface Area Calculation: The standards dictate minimum required areas for both the fluorescent background material and the retroreflective tape. We ensure that your customization does not cover so much surface area that the garment falls below these minimums.
- Reflective Tape Integrity: Logos cannot be placed over reflective tape, as this would negate the tape’s safety function. We strategically position logos to work around the reflective elements, preserving the garment’s 360-degree visibility.
- Material Selection: Any materials used in the customization (e.g., heat transfer films, embroidery threads) are tested to ensure they don’t negatively impact the fluorescent properties of the background fabric. For specialized garments, like those with flame-retardant (FR) properties, we use only FR-compliant threads and materials.
- Documentation: Your final compliance certificate will accurately reflect the finished, customized garment.
If a requested design risks non-compliance, we will not proceed. Instead, we will proactively provide you with alternative placement or sizing options that achieve your branding goals while keeping your workers safe and your company protected.
Q: What is your customization durability guarantee, and how do you test it?
A: We guarantee that our customizations are engineered to withstand the rigors of industrial use and laundering, often outlasting the lifespan of the garment itself.
Our Durability Standards:
- Screen Printing: Guaranteed for at least 50 industrial wash cycles without significant cracking or fading.
- Heat Transfer: Modern polyurethane films are guaranteed for at least 75 wash cycles, maintaining excellent flexibility and adhesion.
- Embroidery: The most durable option, guaranteed for 100+ wash cycles. The thread effectively becomes a permanent part of the fabric.
Our Testing Protocol: We validate this durability in our in-house testing lab before any new process or material is approved for production:
- Accelerated Wash Testing: We use industrial-grade washing and drying machines, following standards like AATCC 135, to simulate dozens of wash cycles in a condensed timeframe.
- Abrasion & Crock Testing: We test for colorfastness and resistance to rubbing (both wet and dry) to ensure logos don’t bleed or transfer color.
- Adhesion & Flexibility Testing: Heat transfers are repeatedly stretched and creased to test for cracking and ensure the bond with the fabric remains strong.
- Visual Inspection: After testing, samples are compared to a control garment under magnification to assess any degradation in quality.
If your customization does not meet its guaranteed durability standard under normal use and following the provided care instructions, we will work with you to find a solution, including remaking the order if necessary.
Q: Can you help with design development if I only have a concept or rough idea?
A: Absolutely. We offer a full-service design development partnership as a core part of our OEM/ODM solution. Many of our clients come to us with just a concept, and our in-house team helps them build it into a production-ready product.
Our Design Development Services include:
- Concept Refinement: We discuss your idea, target audience, and functional requirements to help flesh out the details.
- Logo Vectorization: We can take a low-resolution image, a photograph, or even a hand-drawn sketch of your logo and professionally recreate it as a high-quality vector file.
- Digital Mock-ups: We create photorealistic digital renderings of your design on the garment, allowing you to visualize and approve the layout, colors, and proportions before we produce a physical sample.
- Technical Specification Sheets: We create detailed “tech packs” that outline every single detail of your custom garment, from stitching type and fabric weight to label placement and packaging requirements. This becomes the blueprint for production.
- Creative Suggestions: Based on our 15+ years of experience, we can suggest materials, customization methods, or functional features that could enhance your product’s performance and appeal.
Our goal is to act as an extension of your team, providing the technical and creative expertise needed to bring your vision to life seamlessly.
