FAQ for Screen Printing Contractors
Below are some common questions we receive from contractors regarding contract screen printing, wholesale pricing, white label fulfillment, turnaround times, and shipping.
What is your minimum order for contract screen printing?
We work with orders of all sizes—from small contractor runs to large-volume production. If you have a specific job size, garment type, or print requirement, request a quote, and we’ll build the best plan for your order.
Do you offer white label services?
Yes. We offer white-label contract screen printing, allowing you to deliver orders under your own brand. This can include plain packaging, no North Ink branding, and contractor-friendly packing/shipping options based on your needs.
What are your wholesale pricing options?
We offer competitive contractor pricing based on quantity, print locations, ink type, and production requirements. For accurate wholesale pricing, contact us for a quote: sales@northink.us
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes—North Ink provides nationwide shipping across the United States. We can ship to your shop, your customer, or multiple locations, depending on how you manage your fulfillment.
What is your daily production capacity?
With our large-format presses and production workflow built for volume, we can produce thousands of garments daily. This allows us to support contractors handling bulk orders, programs, and ongoing repeat work.
Can you handle rush orders?
Yes. We offer rush production for urgent projects when the schedule allows. Rush timing depends on artwork readiness, garment availability, and our current production load—send us your job details, and we’ll confirm options quickly.
What types of garments do you print on?
We print on a wide range of apparel, including:
- T-shirts
- Hoodies & sweatshirts
- Long sleeves
- Work shirts
- Performance and blended fabrics (case-dependent)
- And more
If you’re unsure whether a garment is print-ready, send the brand/style, and we’ll confirm compatibility.
How do contractors send garments to you?
Many promotional contractors and resellers provide the apparel, and we handle the printing and fulfillment. You can ship garments directly to our facility, or we can coordinate receiving details as part of your job setup.
What do you need to start a contract print job?
To get accurate pricing and timelines, we typically need:
- Quantity and size breakdown.
- Garment type/brand and ink color(s).
- Print locations (front/back/sleeve, etc.).
- Art files (vector preferred).
- Due date and shipping destination(s).
Don’t have everything ready? Send what you have—we’ll help you fill in the gaps.
How do you handle communication during production?
Contractors appreciate working with North Ink due to its clear communication and responsive updates. We confirm specs before production, keep you informed, and work proactively if anything needs attention—so your client experience stays smooth.
