Custom Union Screen Printing
We can run your union's store and we can also bulk print! From only 48 shirts to 604,000* shirts, we can handle it all!
*literally! We printed 60,000 shirts in 2 weeks for a custom rush order!
Below you will see some initial information, but email us with any questions!
How long does it take? Our standard production time is 3 weeks once the quote and artwork are approved.
Need it faster? Just let us know! We can usually accommodate rush jobs, but there is a fee for orders placed within a week of delivery.
Can I add shirts after approving everything? Technically, yes. But it may delay production and delivery.
Do quantities combine if I have multiple designs? Nope. Each design is its own job.
Example: 36 shirts of Design A and 60 shirts of Design B are to be priced separately.
How many colors can I get screen printed? Up to 8! More colors = higher cost per shirt, so we’ll always provide a quote!
To create a quote, we need 3 things:
- Preferred delivery deadline (in-hands date)
- Anticipated order quantity
- Proposed design and any artwork
- Your budget or price range
Things that slow the process down:
- Slow approvals
- Last-minute changes
- Holidays and Peak Seasons
How long does it take for other in-house items? We can get most things wrapped up in about 3 weeks, just like our t-shirts!
But what about items made outside of RAYGUN? Timing varies - some are fast, others (like embroidery or specialty items) take longer.
Do you offer different mug, glassware, or drinkware options? Definitely! We’ve got pints, bottles, whiskey glasses, tumblers - you name it. Just let us know what you're looking for.
Which products take the longest? Anything that’s fully-customized: socks, enamel pins, holiday sweaters, etc. Plan for about 5-6 weeks on those.
Are these the prices regardless of product brand or quantity? No, these are just ballpark rates to give a point of reference!
A setup fee? That covers the time it takes to prep your art and create screens for printing. This fee is applied to every order.
Will I need to pay a design fee? Only if you need assistance with your artwork or design.
Do you ship? Yep! We can ship to you directly or to one of our retail stores at UPS market rates. You can also pick your order up at our Des Moines warehouse to avoid shipping costs.
Is there an up-charge for extended sizes? Yes - sizes 2XL+typical ly cost about $2 more per size (2XL = +$2, 3XL = +$4, 4XL = +$6).
Can you do custom neck labels? Absolutely! Details vary, so just reach out and we’ll walk you through it.
Can you print RAYGUN’s union bug on our merch? Of Course! Just let us know and we’re happy to include it at no extra cost.
What file types does RAYGUN need for my artwork? We prefer to have .pdf, .png, .svg, .ai, or .eps file types, but anything high-res will work!
On-demand printing is for 1-color shirts only? That’s correct! We limit the on-demand program so things keep moving efficiently.
Can my store have multi-color shirts? Yes! We can’t print multi-color designs on-demand, so we’d handle it as a bulk order hold stock for your site. You’d pay for that inventory up front.
Can my store have other products? Sure can! Just like multi-color shirts, you’d pay for the bulk order in advance and we keep your inventory at our warehouse.
What does it cost to host a custom page? It’s a one-time $250 setup fee - that covers your site and the first 4 products you list. No monthly hosting or maintenance fees!
What if I want more than 4 products? No problem! It’s $100 per listing after the initial 4.
When and how do I get paid? We cut checks once a quarter if your earnings are $25 or more. They are sent directly to the address you provide in the site onboarding form.
Can I see sales reports? Yep! We can send automated sales reports on a weekly or monthly basis if you want to see how things are going.
What if my site goes quiet? After 4 months of no sales, your site will become “paused” and the products marked as “sold out.” You can bring it back online for a $50 reactivation fee.
