From first idea to finished order
Custom apparel has several moving parts—garments, quantities, artwork, decoration, approvals, payment, and production timing. Our process keeps each decision clear before your order reaches the shop floor.
The Mesquite Print House process
Each stage protects the accuracy of your order and gives you a chance to confirm the details before production begins.
Request
Complete the quote form with your garment needs, quantity, decoration method, artwork, and desired completion date. A staff member reviews the request, verifies product availability, and resolves any unanswered questions before preparing an itemized quote.
Open the quote form preview →Quote & payment
Your approved quote becomes the work order, so confirm the products, colors, sizes, decoration locations, quantities, due date, and pricing. Payment requirements are shown on the quote. Schools and organizations using purchase orders, net terms, or another approved payment method should note that when requesting the quote.
Artwork approval
We send an art-approval request showing the proposed design, garment, placement, and decoration details. Approve and sign when everything is accurate. When something needs attention, decline the proof and add clear revision notes. We do not print or stitch the order until the artwork is approved.
Production
Once the required approvals and payment arrangements are complete, the order moves into production for screen printing, embroidery, heat pressing, or the approved combination of services. The agreed due date appears on the quote or invoice, and we will contact you if an unexpected issue affects that timeline.
Completion
When the order is complete, we send an email and, when authorized, a text notification that it is ready for pickup at our Mesquite shop. Shipped orders receive tracking information as soon as the carrier accepts the package.
Pricing information
Every project combines different garments, quantities, artwork, placements, and production requirements. Rather than publish a price that may not fit your job, we review the full request and provide an itemized quote.

Frequently asked questions
Still unsure about a garment, decoration method, or production detail? Contact the appropriate department and we will help narrow the options before preparing your quote.
Yes. Artwork approval is required before production. We provide a digital mock-up showing the selected item and proposed decoration. A physical production sample can be discussed during quoting when the project specifically requires one.
Decline the art approval and explain what needs to change. We will revise the mock-up and send another approval request. The approval stage is the time to correct the design, placement, garment, and other visible details.
Customer-supplied apparel can be considered, but we strongly recommend allowing us to source the garments. We can usually locate the correct sizes, colors, and styles efficiently while confirming that the products are appropriate for the selected decoration method.
Yes, but an appointment is best for a detailed project review. Contact us first so the right team member can prepare samples, swatches, garment options, and pricing information without wasting your time.
Many requests can be answered quickly, but projects requiring garment research, product-availability checks, artwork review, or clarification may take 24–48 hours. Complete information helps us respond faster and more accurately.
