You may see this fee while browsing our products or at checkout. It covers the special preparation required for certain printing methods like screen and pad printing, such as:
Creating custom templates:
We make a screen or silicone pad just for your design.
Using custom materials:
We can't reuse these templates for other orders. Each is used for just one design.
Preparing the machines:
We set up the printing equipment, prepare the ink and line up your design so it looks the same on every item.
Do I have to pay the setup fee again if I reorder the same design?
Yes. We don't save custom templates after we finish an order. So if you place a new order, even for a design you've ordered before, we'll need to set up the machines and make new templates. That's why we charge the setup fee each time you order.
