What to Check on Your Proof

Go through each category before approving

📝

Spelling & Text

Every letter matters

All names spelled correctly (business, team, personal)
Dates and years are accurate
Phone numbers, websites, addresses are correct
Punctuation and capitalization look right
🎨

Ink Colors

Verify your Pantone codes

Pantone codes listed at bottom of proof match your expectations
Number of colors matches your package (1-color, 2-color, etc.)
Shirt color shown is what you want to order
Don't trust your screen—we print the Pantone code, not the screen color
📍

Print Location

Where it goes on the garment

Front, back, sleeve—correct side(s) shown
Full front vs. left chest—placement is what you want
Multi-location orders—all print locations are shown
Location notes on proof match your request
📐

Design Size

Dimensions matter

Check the dimensions listed on the proof (e.g., 12" x 14")
Visual scale may vary—we print the listed dimensions, not the visual
Youth sizes—design will be smaller to fit the garment
Left chest prints—typically 3.5"-4" wide

Common Questions

❓ What if I need changes?

Simply reply to the proof email with your requested changes. Our team will send a revised proof for your review. Don't approve until you're 100% satisfied.

❓ Why doesn't the proof look exactly like my file?

We may need to adjust artwork for optimal screen printing results. Always compare carefully to ensure the design intent is preserved.

❓ Can I see a physical sample first?

Due to our package pricing model, we don't offer physical samples before production. That's why careful proof review is so important.

❓ What happens after I approve?

Your order enters our production queue. Most orders ship within 20-25 business days after approval and payment.
