Customizing Services

We offer a wide variety of customizing services, including Embroidery, Screen-printing and Multi-Color Printing. You may select a design from our collection of previously created custom designs, or you may forward your own artwork to us. You may also substitute your own words (logos, city name, etc.) for the words shown in our examples.

Artwork

Camera-ready art is needed. Art requiring revision or touch-up may incur an art charge. We cannot accept art by fax. Send artwork by email to artdept@seagullintl.com using .psd, eps, or .jpg format. Provide all required fonts. All artwork submitted (including camera-ready art) will be sized to utilize maximum imprint area unless otherwise specified.

Embroidery

Embroidery prices are based upon the number of stitches in a design and a cost for developing embroidery machine instructions. It may be necessary to adjust your design instructions to run well on our embroidery machines. All items for domestic embroidery require a 72 piece minimum per same thread color combination. Orders for less than the minimum quantity will be invoiced at minimum embroidery quantities. For quantities of 720 pieces or more, we can provide direct import embroidery on many styles. Please refer to our Import Quotation Request.

Screen-Printing

Please provide us with camera- ready separated artwork. We will quote prices based upon the quantity and product ordered and the number of colors chosen. Imprint Coverage: When printing light color ink on dark items, 100% coverage is not always guaranteed, and a charge for flash printing will be made. We will make every effort to match ink colors. We recommend that you provide a specific PMS # (e.g. Red PMS 032) when submitting art. However. exact color matching can not always be achieved. There is a minimum of 72 pieces per same color ink. We do not impose a screen charge. Import service is also available for a 720 piece minimum. Please refer to our Import Quotation Request.

Multi-Color Printing

We provide multi-color printing only on light colored products and we require non-separated camera-ready art. Exact color matching cannot always be achieved. There is a minimum of 72 pieces per design. We do not impose a screen charge.

For embroidery, the cost is $5.00 per thousand stitches, plus the price of the item.
