Falfurrias Printing

How it works: custom t-shirts in Falfurrias

Falfurrias Printing is the local ordering site for TAGD Printing, the shop on N. Center that does the work. Here is the whole process, start to finish, including the parts that usually surprise people. Nothing here is a sales funnel step. It is the actual order of operations, and knowing it is what keeps a job from slipping past the date you needed it.

Tell us what you need: the garment, roughly how many pieces, your deadline, and the design if you have one. A phone photo of a sketch on a napkin is a fine start. If all you have is an idea, say the idea.
Four answers get you a real number instead of a range: how many pieces, how many colors are in the design, where it prints (front only, front and back, a sleeve), and what kind of garment. Without those, any price you get anywhere is a guess.
You get a mockup and a price laid out by quantity, so you can see what a bigger run does to the cost per shirt. This is the moment to move numbers around. Dropping one ink color usually saves more than cutting twenty shirts does, because each color is its own screen and that setup gets paid for whether you print thirty or three hundred.
If the budget is fixed, say the budget and the design can be built to fit it.
Approve the artwork and lock the size count. This is where the clock actually starts, not when you first called. Read the mockup twice: every word, every name, every spelling. Changes at this stage cost nothing but a few minutes. Changes after the screens are burned mean the screens get made again. A misspelled name is the one mistake that cannot be washed out.
The screens get made, one for each color, and the run gets printed. Most bulk runs take about one to two weeks from approval. Then you pick up in Falfurrias, arrange delivery on a big order, or have it shipped anywhere in Texas. On a bulk run the distance matters far less than people expect, because the whole order moves at once instead of shirt by shirt.

What to have ready before you call

Four answers turn a vague conversation into a real number. How many pieces you need. How many colors are in the design, counting the outline and any white.

Where it prints, meaning front only, front and back, or a sleeve as well. And what garment, meaning a basic tee, a heavier tee, a hoodie or a jersey. If you have artwork, say what kind of file it is.

Without those four, any price from anywhere is a range, and ranges are how people end up surprised at pickup.

What to check on your mockup

The mockup is your last easy chance to change anything, so read it like a contract. Check every word and every name, letter by letter, including the ones you are certain about. Check that the design is the size you pictured; art that looks big on a phone is often smaller on a shirt than people expect.

Check the shirt color is the one you meant. Changes here cost nothing but a few minutes. Changes after the screens are burned mean the screens get made again.

A misspelled name is the one mistake that cannot be washed out.

What usually causes a delay, and it is not the printing

Printing a few hundred shirts takes far less time than a group takes to agree on a design. The two things that actually hold jobs up are waiting on a final size count and waiting on somebody to approve the mockup. A distant third is artwork that has to be rebuilt because what got sent was too small to use.

If you want a job to move fast, settle the artwork first and lock the count second, and the printing takes care of itself.

If something is wrong when you pick up

Say so. A shop that prints for its own town does not survive on jobs people are unhappy with. If a count is off, a size is missing or something does not look like the proof you approved, bring it up right away rather than living with it.

What can be fixed depends on what happened, but nothing can be fixed if nobody hears about it. This is the practical advantage of ordering from somebody you can actually reach instead of a website in another state.

One callback about your order. Your information goes to the shop that prints it and nowhere else. Still deciding whether to order at all?

The buyer guide on this site covers sizing, artwork files, ink colors and timing in plain language. It includes the cases where another shop is a better fit for your job than this one.
