Please add a 25p per garment handling charge. Make sure that the printable area is completely flat (no seams) and one layer of fabric only. The garment should be heat resistant and we must be able to stretch it over our printing boards for screen printing. Check with us first to be sure. Please supply between 1 and 5 extra garments (depending on the size of the print run) so that we have spares for the job.
