Screen Printing & Embroidery
What garments work best for screen printing?
Common items include t-shirts, hoodies, bags, sport items, and uniforms. We do not print beanies and fleece items.
What file types do you accept for logos and artwork?
Vector files (AI, EPS, and PDF) are preferred. We also accept DST files via email for embroidery items at support@merchless.com.
How many colors can you print?
We offer printing up to 8 colors. We use DTF for anything above 8 colors.
What is the difference between Screen Printing and DTF (transfers)?
Screen printing is ideal for graphic artwork and larger quantities. DTF (transfers) is typically better for smaller orders that require more than 8 colors, have multi-gradient artwork, and/or photographic imagery.
How durable is screen printing?
Screen printing is highly durable. We provide care instructions with every order.
What items can be embroidered?
Common items include hats, beanies, polos, jackets, hoodies, bags, and uniforms. Thinner garments like lightweight t-shirts are typically not recommended.
Is there a stitch count limit for embroidery?
Pricing is built to provide up to 10,000 stitches which covers 90% of projects. If your design requires more than 10,000 stitches we'll reach out.
What file types do you accept for embroidery?
We accept DST and EMB files via email at support@merchless.com. Vector artwork (AI, EPS, or PDF) is always preferred.
Can you embroider small text or fine details?
Minimum height for small text should be .25" – small text and fine details may not reproduce cleanly. We review every order and will reach out if we feel your artwork will not produce the best quality.
