Frequently Asked Questions

Our average turn around time is 10-15 business days (Mon – Fri) plus shipping time. This is not guaranteed. If you pay for an order after 5:00pm your order will not be processed until the following business day. Adding additional finishing to your order may extend your turn around time.

While we appreciate the desire to provide your own garments, at First Brothers, we generally discourage this practice outside of our approved contractors. Contrary to the perception that it might result in cost savings, supplying your own garments may not always be the most economical choice. Additionally, there is an inherent risk, as all our standard contract policies, covering potential issues such as damaged, misprinted, or faulty goods, will still apply. We want to emphasize that unless you possess substantial experience in the industry and are prepared to shoulder added costs and risks, we do not recommend supplying your own garments

Our standard print size is up to 14 inches wide by 17 inches tall

Our minimum quantity for custom garments is usually 24 pieces. We do work with smaller number orders but there are limits as to how many ink colors can be used on your garments.

Our preferred file formats include AI, PDF, EPS, and PSD.
*High-quality files are imperative for optimal printing results. We offer flat rate vectorization of artwork starting at $50 per logo

Please send art files under 10MB directly to info@first-brothers.com or directly upload them to your quote request. For larger files exceeding 10MB, utilize Dropbox and share the upload link with us at the same email address. Ensuring top-notch print quality, we recommend that all submitted files maintain a resolution of 300 DPI or higher. If you're using AI files or working with vector programs, take a moment to convert text to outlines and place the artwork on a solid background.

Heat transfers, also known as direct-to-film (DTF), are perfect for designs with a high color count. This method allows for a low minimum order of just 12 pieces, compared to our standard screen printing services, which require 25 pieces for up to 4 colors and 50 pieces for an 8-color print. Since heat transfers are digitally printed onto film and then applied to garments using a heat press, there’s no limit to the number of colors in your design. Pricing for heat transfers is based solely on the size of the graphic, not the number of colors. This makes them an ideal option for artwork with too many colors to screen print efficiently.
