T-Shirt Screen Printing at Lightning Speed: Behind the Scenes

21 Jul, 2022 By Samantha Warren 1503 Views

We all know how frustrating it can be to wait for your custom t-shirts. You place your order, wait what feels like forever, and then finally receive your shirts… only to find that the colors are off or the artwork isn’t placed correctly.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. At Scrappy Apparel, we pride ourselves on our quick turnaround times. In fact, we’re so fast that some of our customers are surprised when their orders arrive early!

How do we do it? It all starts with our amazing team of skilled professionals who are dedicated to getting your order right the first time—and delivering it at lightning speed.

However, there’s more to it than that. We’ve also streamlined our Brand Building Process (BBP) so we can get your shirts from concept to finished product quickly. We know time is precious, so we made our ordering process as simple as possible.


About our BBP

Our BBP is a tried-and-true process that we’ve used for years to produce high-quality custom t-shirts. We’ve been doing this for a while (about 16 years to be exact), and we have this process down pat.

We created our BBP because we noticed that the custom apparel industry needed more structure and organization. We also knew that we could use our process to speed up production times without sacrificing quality.

How to speed up the t-shirt printing process

We get it—sometimes, you can’t wait forever for your order to arrive. Deadlines, events, and time-sensitive projects are all a reality in the business world.

Especially if you choose us to be your custom apparel manufacturer, we can guide you on how to speed up the t-shirt manufacturing process. Our turnaround times are some of the fastest in the industry, and we’ll work with you to make sure your order is delivered on time—every time.

Here are a few tips to get your t-shirts in your hands fast:

1. Prepare your artwork.

This may seem like a no-brainer, but we can’t stress enough how important it is to have your artwork ready to go before you place your order. Not sure where to start? Check out our Artwork Preparation Guide for tips on how to configure your files and set up your designs for success.

2. Do your research.

T-shirt screen printing is a complex process, so it’s important that you understand the different types of shirts, inks, and printing techniques before you place your order. Our team is always happy to answer any questions you have about our products and services.

3. Place your order early.

To avoid any delays, we recommend placing your order as early as possible. This will give us ample time to complete your order and make any necessary adjustments.

4. Be available for your pre-production layout review.

After you place your order, one of our talented professionals will put together your pre-production layout, which we’ll send to you for review. It’s important that you respond promptly so we can make any necessary changes and get your shirts into production.

5. Keep an eye out for your t-shirt delivery.

Once you’ve placed your order and approved your pre-production layout, you can sit back and relax. We’ll take care of the rest and have your custom t-shirts delivered to you early or on time… never, ever late!
