Garments are sized by suppliers and size charts are available, linked, on the product page. Please note that individual garments may vary from the size charts. We are not able to process refunds for garments that do not fit based on expectations.

Artwork size and positioning cannot be guaranteed. We will endeavor to use artwork sized as supplied, but we may resize or reposition artwork to fit within our normal production parameters.

Please see our standard print size guideline below:

• Front Left or Right Chest: 3-4" wide
• Front Standard: 10-12" wide
• Back Standard 10"-12 wide
• Sleeve Prints: 3.5" - 5" wide
• Hats: 3-5" wide

Refunds will not be provided for artwork sizes that fall within our standard parameters regardless of the size of the mock-up you have created in the design studio

1- Create and upload elements of your artwork

For best results, we recommend building your artwork in our mockup generator platform. This means you create elements of your artwork in your usual design software and save each element (e.g. logo, slogan) as a separate file. You do not need to create a complete printable file with all the elements together. You can upload your elements as individual files in our mockup generator and position them there to create the printable layout you require.

2- Submit files in PNG, JPEG, PDF, AI, PSD, or EPS format with at least 300 DPI

We recommend using PNG for designs with a transparent background. For other designs, we advise preparing files in JPEG instead.

3- Avoid semi-transparent designs

Semi-transparent graphics (or elements with lowered opacity) don't translate well in DTG or DTF printing. We advise using solid colors or simulating semi-transparency by halftoning

4- Create designs with the necessary DPI

Simply typing in a new resolution value into the file won't result in a higher resolution print. If your graphic's resolution is too low, the best solution is to recreate it. Always try and have at least 300 dpi

5- Use transparency to your advantage

Black ink will appear gray on black garments because of the white underbase used during DTG or DTF printing. Leave these areas fully transparent when designing for black garments.

6- Disclaimers

• If images are uploaded with a non-transparent background, this background will appear when printed. Please make sure to remove the background in your design by saving it in a png format.

• We don't print white ink on white shirts. Any designs for white shirts containing white color will have areas with no print on them.

• White ink elements on bright-colored garments might look tinted. This is most evident on red, maroon, and other similarly colored garments.

• Follow instructions on laundry tag for best care results. InstaCustoms is not responsible for damage caused otherwise.

• There might be slight discrepancies in print placement.

For smaller apparel sizes, we may scale down artwork proportionately to fit it within the printable area. Note: For Sizes XS, S, we will automatically scale down your artwork proportionately to fit within the printable area of approx 9X12 (inches)

The tag on each garment contains recommended care instructions for the garment itself; however, these instructions don’t take into account the direct-to-garment (DTG) printing process.

To help DTG printing last as long as possible, we recommend following the instructions below:

• Turn the garment inside-out
• Machine wash cold with like colors
• Use mild detergent and a gentle cycle
• Use non-chlorine bleach only when necessary
• Do not dry clean or use any fabric softeners

• Hang dry when possible
• Tumble dry on a low cycle when necessary

• Iron inside-out on a cool setting
• Do not iron the printed area

PLEASE READ WHEN COMPARING US TO THE COMPETITION

Why choose InstaCustoms?

Speed, Service, Quality, and Selection.

We go above and beyond for our clients. We make sure everything is done right, while most of the competition won’t even answer their calls or emails. Most DTG & DTF places use level 3 ink. We use level 5 ink. Most places use cheap Chinese Vinyl, but we use the best quality German Turbo Vinyl. We offer hundreds of items, yet most other places carry just a handful. Most places take days or weeks to produce an order, yet we take a fraction of the time. We have a very fair pricing system where we offer online bulk pricing starting at 5 items, where most places have no bulk pricing at all. Our Google rating is 4.9 stars (with thousands of reviews), yet others barely have 3.9 stars and most of their reviews are fake.

Do You Offer Emergency Rush Service?

Yes we do. This is our specialty. We will do everything in our power to prepare your order before your due date. We are very fast. We are the fastest. Just  make sure that you use our online website to place your order and that you choose the items that we print in store. Please choose items printed by InstaCustoms.

Production Times?

We are the only company that actually lists our production times for every single product we sell. No one else does this. There are always exceptions due to so many variables, (volume, holidays season, inventory levels, etc…) but for the vast majority of the time we are always on time.

How much faster are you compared to competitors?

Much faster. We are the quickest in the market. If it’s an order of 5 items or more, we’ll do our best to do it during the day. For bigger orders, we will work to get your order ready within 1 or 3 days! Some items may take longer as we need to account for things that are out of our control, but we usually have orders done in 24 hours. 

What type of printing options does InstaCustoms offer?

We offer 4 different types of printing methods Direct to Garment (DTG), Direct to Film (DTF), Vinyl, and Embroidery.
