Ordering Process
How Do I Get Started?
First, help us understand what you are looking for so we can provide you with an accurate quote. Send us samples, specs, designs, whatever it takes for you to clearly explain what you have in mind.
What information or specs do you need from me?
- Fabric Selection (We can work with you to determine what’s best for your needs)
- The color of the shirts you want
- Type of apparel (male, women tees, baby tees, etc.)
- Size breakdown (quantity per size)
- Graphic Artwork
- The location and placement of the artwork
Submit Your Artwork
Please send us a copy of your artwork in the following format:
- Adobe Photoshop (.psd)
- Adobe Illustrator (.ai)
- Adobe PDF (.pdf)
Sampling Process
The sampling process begins immediately after all information has been received and a deposit has been made. The sample is produced according to the specs and artwork you've provided us. This process usually takes 2 to 3 weeks (conservatively) depending on the complexity of your design and the material you've selected.
Once completed, the samples will be rushed to you immediately for review. If revisions are necessary, we will work with you until you are happy with the product. If there are no revisions, a Production Approval Form (PAF) along with an invoice will be sent to you to sign off on.
Please keep in mind that revisions will often lengthen the production time. Therefore it is important to provide us as much information as possible to minimize this process.
Final Approval
A Production Approval Form (PAF) is required before any production takes place. This form will be provided to you by Variant Art to ensure that all parties have a clear understanding and agreement on what to expect from the final product, the price, and the quantity. In addition, an invoice for the remaining balance of the order is accompanied by the PAF. This balance must be paid in full before final production takes place.
Production
Production lead time may vary depending on the style of the apparel, the fabric, the quantity, and the complexity of your artwork. As we get a better understanding of what you're looking for, we can provide you with a more accurate time line.
Shipping Your Product
We will notify you that your shipment is underway. We ship via Fed-Ex or UPS to ensure your order is shipped quickly and securely. A tracking number will be supplied to you once your product has been sent. Once the shipment leaves our production facilities, the title belongs to the buyer.
