Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly do you do?

We screen print (sometimes called silk screening) and embroider. For screen printing, all of our prints are hand pressed. Screen printing involves first designing artwork in software such as Adobe Illustrator and/or Adobe Photoshop and then "burning" or creating a stencil which is called a "screen" and then using that stencil to apply layers of ink on the printing surface. Each color is applied using a different stencil, one at a time, combined to achieve the final look. Embroidery also requires artwork to de designed and then digitized. Once the artwork is ready the garment is hooped and the design is stitched.

What is the cost?

The cost is based on a few things: the type of garment you are looking for, the number of items you are going to purchase, and the number of colors or stitches your design requires. Submit a quote or send us an email at contact@avividlife.com with some details about your order and we will be able to send you a cost proposal based on your order info.

What is the minimum order?

We ask that each order has at least 12 pieces. We do allow different types of garments and different color garments as long as the ink or thread color stays the same.

I do not have artwork, can you help?

Absolutely, we would love to help you in the design process and better yet we typically do not charge additional for this. If you do have artwork we ask that it is in a vector format (Adobe Illustrator) or a high resolution image (300 dpi or greater).

How long does it take, what is the turn around time?

After the artwork is done and the mockup is approved, it usually takes about 2 weeks to process your order.

What forms of payment can I use?

Cash, check, credit card, PayPal, and Venmo are all acceptable.
