FAQs

1. When can I expect my custom design items to be done?

Standard turnaround time is 10-14 business days from the time deposit is paid and art is on file.

2. What happens when I want you to create the design for me?

You send us your ideas, logos, and/or branding kits and our in-house design team creates the magic! An art fee of $65/hour would be added to your quote.

3. I love the design you created! Can I have the art file to use for other items?

Sorry, but nope. Art we create for printing is owned by Rockford Art Deli. If you are interested in purchasing the artwork to use elsewhere, let us know and we can discuss a vector release fee.

4. Do I have to order a certain amount of items for my project?

Our minimum requirement for screen printing custom orders is 36 garments that use the same screen and ink colors. If you'd like to mix and match garments (t-shirts of different colors, t-shirts and crewnecks, etc.) you are able to do that, as long as the ink colors and artwork size stays the same. If you would like to order less than 36 garments,we can still fulfill the order for you, but we will be printing with water-based transfers. The transfers we use are great quality, durable, and soft.

5. Where are your shirts produced? Are they ethically made?

We are a founder of Allmade Apparel. We put the needs of the people and planet first, creating a positive impact you can feel good about. All of the products we recommend to print on are great quality and ethically made.

6. How do you print your shirts?

We use screen printing to get the designs on our fabric. The screen printed ink becomes part of the fabric, which will last longer and look better over time. We also offer water-based transfers as an option for small order minimums. The transfers we use are durable and comfortable, able to withstand wash after wash without cracking or fading.

7. Do you pay your team a living wage?

We love our team and think they deserve to be treated well! The RAD team is paid a very competitive living wage rate plus RAD covers 75% of health care for all full time team members. Beyond our team, RAD has a passion to support those in our community whenever possible. In 2020, we were so grateful to be able to donate over $110,000 back to local businesses during shelter in place.

8. How do you recycle or keep toxic chemicals out of your shop?

We utilize a special filtration system for our inks and chemicals so they don't go into our water. Check out our Sustainability page to see what else we're doing!

9. Are there any discounts for non-profits?

You bet! We offer a 10% discount on all custom orders for non-profits. Just let us know you are a non-profit and send us your documentation with your order so you can get the discount.

10. How do I know how many shirts of each size to order?

Figuring out sizing can be tough if you don't know everyone's size! Luckily we have this handy calculator to help you figure out how many shirts of each size you'll likely want to get. Just input the quantity of garments you're ordering and the calculator will figure out how many of each size you need.

"RAD is outstanding at what they do! A few months ago I needed to order shirts for a fundraising event. After getting quotes from numerous places, I went with RAD to do the work because of where they get their shirts from, the quality of their work, and their customer service. Will definitely be going with them again for any future needs!!"

"Can't say enough about how awesome my experience was working with Rockford Art Deli. They were fast to respond, easy to work with and they offer extremely fair prices for custom work. The Allmade shirts are so soft, and their discharge printing process is really cool. If you are looking for custom shirts, go here. Two thumbs up, 5/5 starrs, 100% fresh."
