Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum order?
The usual minimum is 25 units per logo for textile and 50 for objects/drinkware. Some techniques or products may have different minimums. If you need fewer, ask us: it is sometimes possible with a surcharge.
How long does production take?
Standard production is 10–15 business days from quote confirmation and artwork approval. For urgent orders, ask about express service (from 3 days).
Can I print a full-colour logo?
Yes. For textiles we use DTG digital printing or sublimation for photographs and gradients. For objects, digital printing and sublimation allow full colour. Screen printing and pad printing are better for spot-colour logos.
Does laser engraving have colour?
No. Laser engraves by vaporising the material, with no ink. The result is monochrome (the engraving colour depends on the material: silver on steel, dark on wood). If you need colour, screen printing or digital printing is better.
Who validates my design before production?
Our team reviews the file and sends a digital proof for your approval before starting production. We only begin when you are 100% happy with the result.
What file format do I need to send?
We prefer vector files (AI, EPS, vector PDF or SVG) for screen printing, pad printing and vinyl. For DTG and sublimation, a high-resolution PNG or JPG (minimum 300 DPI at actual size). If you do not have the ideal format, send us what you have and we will advise.
Do you ship to all of Spain?
Yes, we ship to mainland Spain, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Portugal and France. Free shipping from €500 net (mainland). For other destinations, enquire.
Can I combine several techniques in one order?
Yes, it is possible to combine techniques (for example, embroidery on the chest and screen printing on the back of the same garment). Each technique is quoted separately. Tell us about your project and we will prepare a proposal.
