Send the production-ready file, not a screenshot or a mockup.
Choose a gang sheet or Size & Quantity path based on the job mix.
Choose local pickup, shipping, or both so the order can be routed correctly.
Know the garment or surface, test plan, and who is responsible for pressing.
Use when a job has multiple designs, sizes, or placements that can be organized together efficiently.
Best question: “What can share one production layout?”Use when the job is centered on one design with defined sizes and quantities that need to stay easy to reorder.
Best question: “What exact mix will I press?”Choose based on the job’s timing, finish, and approved production path. Confirm current availability before promising a customer date.
Best question: “What does this job actually require?”Artwork and product path are checked.
Production timing is confirmed against current capacity.
Follow the product-specific press guidance and test on the intended material.
Pickup or shipping follows the selected route and confirmation.
Press guidance: use the current product instructions, a compatible garment or surface, and a small test before a full run. Do not assume a setting from one transfer type applies to another.
Choose pickup when the team is already moving through the local service area. Wait for the pickup-ready confirmation before dispatching a driver.
