Artwork
What file format should my art be in?
We prefer that you send your art as an Adobe Illustrator (.ai) or VEctorized PFD (.pdf) file. Other acceptable formats are .eps and .svg as long as they contain vector artwork. Please remember to convert all text to outlines.
Where should I send my artwork?
Please send your artwork to the sales rep you are working with. They will be responsible for getting your design to the art department to get it ready for production.
What is the maximum imprint size?
Our maximum screenprint area is 15”W x 15.5”H. If you need bigger imprints, please give us a call and we can determine if we can print your design bigger than what we normally do. Print sizes will vary. depending on the garment.
Will you send me a mock-up before production?
Yes. We will send you an art proof for your approval prior to production. The design location, size, and colors will be noted on the proof. Please make sure to take note of these before approving the proof. For embroidery orders, we will send you a sew file to approve before production. BYOG will not be responsible for any changes made on the artwork after production has started.
What if I don’t have print-ready artwork?
We have a full service graphics department. They can help you recreate your artwork and get it print-ready. Art charges may apply. Additionally our Design Studio is free to use.

We can typically complete an order within 5-7 business days from order approval. However, during our busy months, turn-around times may vary. Please inquire at the time of placing your order.
How do orders get delivered or shipped?
For a nominal fee, we can either ship your order via UPS (standard UPS shipping charges apply) or deliver within a 60-mile radius of our facility. You may also come to our facility to pick-up – we sure would love to meet you!
Do you do rush orders?
Yes, we accept rush orders. Rush charges may apply.
Why did I receive less than what I ordered?
Although it is not common, there is an industry standard for production damages – typically 3%. Rest assured those pieces were not included in your invoice.
How do you choose which ink colors to use?
If there is a specific pantone color you would like us to use, please let us know. Otherwise, we will use our materials to best match the colors in your design. There is a fee to match PMS colors if we do not carry that color in stock.
What locations on the garment can you print on?
Aside from the standard locations (full front, full back, sleeve, left & right chest, hip, leg), we can also print on unusual locations (hoods, inside tags, wraps, etc.). This will vary depending on the garment, and a difficulty fee may apply.
Why is it more expensive to print on dark-colored garments than on light-colored garments?
Any time we use ink that is lighter than the garment color, we need to put an underbase before printing the design to ensure that the garment color does not show through the design. It also ensures that the image will continue to look bright and new much longer.
What is a set-up charge?
For print orders, set-up consists of the films, screens, and the time it takes to set-up your order on the presses. The films and screens are used to transfer your design onto the garment. We also need to set-up the press for your order (getting the correct ink colors, setting up the screen on the press, prepping the pallets, etc.). For embroidery orders, set-up consists of converting your design to a digital sew file so our machines can embroider your design on the garment and setting them up on the machine.
