FAQs

How do I place an order?

We have multiple options for placing your order! You can now place orders directly through our website. Alternatively, you can email us at printwithpatriot@gmail.com or call us at 717-648-1972. We are also available on Facebook Messenger through Patriot Print Co.

Is there an order minimum?

Screen printing and embroidery have a 12 piece minimum requirement. However, we do offer custom apparel with no minimum using different processes such as Direct-to-Transfer or vinyl.

Can I pay when I pick up my shirts?

Our graphic designers put time and effort into the custom designs they create for our customers, so payment is due prior to artwork and production.

What determines the price of my apparel?

Quantities, number of colors, location(s) of design, and garment type all play into the custom quote we provide for you. For more exact quotes, place your order through our website.

Do you offer name brand apparel?

We offer brands such as Nike, Carhartt, New Era, Champion, Dickies, Columbia, etc. You can make these selections when shopping our website ahead of checkout.

Can I bring my own shirts in for you to customize?

Yes, we do offer customization of customer supplied apparel as long as it is unwashed and unworn. You may be asked to bring in the apparel for our production team to inspect prior to production to ensure it will not be ruined by the customization process. Please contact us directly if you would like to explore this option by email at printwithpatriot@gmail.com

Do you offer shipping?

Yes! Contact us for a shipping quote.

How long do orders take to process?

Production typically takes 7-10 business days after the quote and artwork are approved. Rush services are available when our schedule allows for it.

Can I add more shirts to an order after it is complete?

Once a screen printing order is complete, the screens are cleaned and recycled. Placing an order of a previous design (no matter how recent) still requires a 12 piece minimum for screen printing. If you need to reorder less than 12 pieces, your account manager can discuss other printing processes and their pricing with you.

I'm not happy with my order, what can I do?

Our art approval process ensures that every customer is 100% happy with their design before it is pushed to production. However if there is a change of heart after the art has been approved or you're discontent with the size you chose we are unable to accept returns. If you have received an order and there is a problem with it, please notify us within 7 days and we will work with you to determine the problem and come to a fair solution that works for you. Mistakes are rare, but when they happen, we will be happy to make it right.
