How It Works

At Kendrick Sportswear & Apparel we are 100% committed to providing all of our customers with high-quality products and exceptional service.  We have access to all distributors, manufacturers, etc., and will be able to fulfill your needs.

 

Email (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) or phone (617-970-3315) us if you’re looking for quotes for screen printing, embroidery or graphic design.  We will promptly respond and begin putting together an estimate.

 

Please let us know what type of garment you are looking for, the quantity of items and the number of colors in the design.  There are price breaks at certain quantities.  Orders can be any combination of items you’d like (E.G. all tee-shirts, all sweatshirts, or a combination of both, as long as it is the same design and placement).  If you need help with putting together some ideas or getting your artwork in a format suitable for use in screen printing or embroidery, we’ll have our graphic design partner assist you. 

 

For screen printing, we need to produce a screen for each color.  For embroidery, we will produce a digitized image.  Vectored files such as an AI, or EPS are easily converted to usable means.  For other types of files (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc.) we may need to recreate them.  Once the designs are completed you will have final approval before printing/embroidery. 

 

Generally, it’s between two and two and a half weeks from the time of approval until the projects are completed.  However, this could vary slightly based on the time of year, whether the customer adds more items, etc. 

 

We look forward to working with you and appreciate your business very much.
