How to write better textile printing requests and get better quotes

A clear project request saves time and money. Use this checklist to get faster, more comparable print offers.

Define the project scope clearly

State quantity, garment type, print positions, and deadlines early to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth.

Provide usable artwork files

Send vector files where possible and include color information, sizing details, and expected print dimensions.

Ask for comparable quotes

Request clear line items for production, setup, shipping, and lead time so providers can be compared fairly.
