At InstaCustoms we believe that the more you purchase the better the price should be. This is why we have 7 price categories. 1-3 total items, 4-5 total items, 6-10 total items, 11-30 total items, 31-50 items, 51-99 items, and finally 100 plus items. So basically when you purchase your items you can combine the total amount of items and then whatever that number is then all your items will fall into that same category.
Alright say you want to buy 2 t-shirts, 2 hoodies, and 2 coffee mugs. 2 plus 2 plus 2= 6 items…..so this means that all those items will fall into the 6-10 price category because we combined all the items and they added up to 6….so by combining all your items they are all charged in the 6-10 category. We are the ONLY place that offers this combine and save pricing system.
Absolutely!! You can have 100 different designs and 100 different items and 100 different sizes and colors…..I don’t care…..as long as the order is placed at the same time. We will combine all the items regardless of how different they all are. We don’t care if all the items are different. Most other places force you to use only 1 design in order to get a better price. We are the ONLY place that offers this combine and save pricing system.

The 5 types of printing options available in the market are Direct to Garment (DTG), Vinyl, Silk Screening, Sublimation and Transfer Paper.
So I’ll list them from best to worst, #1 is DTG Direct to Garment which is the BEST, #2 is Silk Screening, #3 Vinyl, #4 Sublimation, #5 (which is utter garbage) is called Transfer Paper.
Well here at InstaCustoms will always help you make the right choice depending on what you're looking for. One thing is for sure we will NEVER offer to use Transfer paper even if you beg us. That garbage should be illegal.
At InstaCutoms we only offer 2 printing options DTG Direct to Garment and Top Turbo Vinyl. We only offer the best quality. We will NEVER compromise our quality like most other places do.
Unfortunately you most likely got Transfer Paper or Chinese vinyl which are used by approx 90% of printing shops. These places use these methods because they are approx half the price to use. These other places just don’t care about quality or the client. It’s actually very upsetting to me when I see clients that come into the shop and I see the quality they got somewhere else.
DTG stands for Direct to Garment. It’s simply the best. It’s a type of printing method that directly prints special ink directly into your garment. You are left with an amazing breathable designed shirt that will last forever.
Unlimited colours, unlimited possibilities. It’s crazy good. Not many shops offer DTG out there because it’s an extremely expensive machine to purchase and maintain. A DTG shirt costs approx 4 times more to print than let’s says Silk Screening, and especially that garbage transfer paper that most places use.
Yes without a doubt it’s the best but it’s not enough to have the DTG machine. The person using the DTG machine needs to know how to operate it. Just because a place has a DTG machine doesn’t mean they are using it right. We’ve become experts over the past few years. I can say without a doubt that we are the best.
You could literary print whatever your heart desires, whether it’s a picture, logo or personal design with unlimited possibilities. It’s an incredible type of printing method.
DTG is best used with 100% cotton, or at least 50% cotton? The more cotton the better.
Yes you print any design with DTG. It’s just like printing a picture on a paper with your home printer. There are no limitations.
Unfortunately no. You will most likely get the garbage transfer paper or cheap Chinese vinyl. Most places don’t care about quality or service like we do. They have no shame.
A DTG shirt could last up to 200 washes and should keep its vibrant colours. It’s amazing how good Direct to Garment is.
It’s a sheet of colored plastic rubber material that is heat pressed onto your clothing.
Chinese Vinyl is absolute garbage so it’s a 1 out of 10. I wish I could give it a zero. Easy Weed Italian Vinyl is not very good so it’s a 3 out of 10. Top Turbo Vinyl which as we’ve discussed, is the uncontested best. It’s a perfect 10 out of 10.
Chinese and Italian don’t last very long but Top Turbo Vinyl last for up to 150 washes.
Here at InstaCustoms we only offer the best that's why we only carry Top Turbo Vinyl. I would prefer to close my business than to start selling the other crap everybody else sells.
We have a lot of colors. Please see the video!
Sublimation only works with white fabrics. It is a technique that is used with heat-sensitive inks. To make a long story short you’re basically transferring ink onto the shirt. Please don’t confuse this method with DTG. It’s a pretty decent method but not the best.
You could only print on white fabrics. Nothing else.
No. Sublimation is okay but the colours never come out 100% accurate. You will never get the quality of DTG using sublimation. This is one of the negatives with sublimation.
Usually up to 100 washes. It’s actually not a bad option for people who are on a budget and who want to use white shirts. If you’re on a tight budget please don’t be scared to use this method. We offer special pricing for sublimation shirts.
Transfer paper is absolute trash. It’s actually worse than trash. Even if someone was to offer you the shirt for free you shouldn’t take it. Actually NOT even if they PAY YOU!! It’s a method of printing which is the least durable on the market. Transfer paper is just that….it’s a paper that is transferred onto your shirt!! Yes it’s a paper. 90% of printing shops use transfer paper.
After about 2 to 3 washes then the print will be completely start to crack, fade and not be presentable. This method of printing won’t do justice to your original design. It won’t keep the same color as the original design because the ink will transform with the heat. That’s why we strongly suggest you do not go with that kind of printing method for your designs.
It feels like you’re wearing a thick sheet of paper. Can you imagine wearing a sheet of paper on your t-shirt? Can you just imagine having your shirt not being able to breathe? It’ll feel like wearing a plastic bag. Can you imagine on a hot day how this will make it stick against your skin? It looks disgusting, It’s disgusting, It feels disgusting, and it’s disgusting that most places sell this garbage.
Our employees here at InstaCustoms will help you make the right decision. There are many variables to take into account. Color, shading, detail, fabric color, fabric type, and the desired expectation into how vibrant you want the colors to be.
As far as comfort DTG is always better, DTG is always the best printing option but it might not mean it’s the best option for you. You need to consider all the variables which we are more than happy to discuss and evaluate with you.
They both last approximately the same.

They both last approximately the same.
There are limitations with what you can do with DTG. Sublimation on the other hand has limitations. You can only use sublimation on white fabrics. DTG is obviously much better because the colours will be more accurate and the feel is much more comfortable.
Sublimation is limited to only using an article of white clothing and the colours are never 100% accurate. In the meantime, you could do whatever you want with DTG and looks amazing.
DTG shirts will last up to 200 washes and will maintain the same quality. And Sublimation will last up to one 100 washes.
DTG is the best and is classified as the best printing method in the Market! The colours are identical to the original image and you won’t have the plastic feel on the shirt that transfers paper does because of the ink sets directly inside the shirt. DTG allows it to breathe and prevent the design to crack, peel off or fade with time. DTG surpasses transfer paper with its quality, offering you only satisfying results and reliable durability.
DTG feels and looks amazing in the meantime transfer paper literally feels like having a sheet of paper on your shirt so looks and feels awful.
Transfer paper is a method of printing that doesn’t allow the shirt to breathe. It will leave you with an unpleasant plastic feeling that is not comfortable. This print also degrades with only one wash! After about 1 wash, the print will crack, fade and not be presentable. This method of printing won’t do justice to your original design. It won’t keep the same color as the original design because they will transform with the heat. That’s why we strongly suggest you do not go with that kind of printing method for your designs.
DTG is the best and is classified as the best printing method in the Market! The colours are identical to the original image and you won’t have the plastic texture on the shirt that other methods of printing give because of the ink sets directly inside the shirt. That allows it to breathe and prevents the design to crack, peel off or fade with time.
DTG is perfect for designs with lots of colours, lots of details and lots of shading. Silk screening is only good for solid colours designs and most places will only accept orders with over 50 items because it takes about 2 hours for every color screen.
DTG will last you up to 200 washes and Silk Screening will last you up to100 washes so they’re both really durable. But DTG is much better.
At InstaCustoms, quality is at the heart of our values! That’s why we only offer the best quality printing! That is why we only offer Top Turbo Vinyl when we need to use vinyl. Don’t confuse Top Turbo Vinyl with the standard Chinese Vinyl offered by our competitors!
Top Turbo Vinyl is a thin and stretchy so it feels amazing, and looks amazing. Chinese vinyl thick and looks cheap. Most importantly it’ll start to crack and peel after only a few washes.
Chinese vinyl isn’t a durable quality. It already starts cracking, fading and losing its color after one wash and it will only get worse as you wash your item. This low-end vinyl will give you a plastic-like texture on your shirt and won’t allow the fabric to breathe because the print is thick and doesn’t adhere as much to the shirt. The colours won’t pop and will look cheap, leaving you with a disappointing result. Happily, for you, we offer the Top Turbo vinyl! Contrary to the Chinese vinyl, this one resists hundreds of washes and won’t lose its color, won’t detach itself from the shirt with time and won’t crack! Its durability is beyond compare! It won’t give you that uncomfortable plastic feeling on the shirt and will allow the fabric to breathe. With Top Turbo Vinyl, your design will have vibrant colours and won’t have that cheap look that Chinese vinyl offers you.

To have the best possible result it is important that your item is 100% cotton. Other fabrics won’t give you the same result in printing and you might be disappointed. We can’t guarantee that the end product will be good or durable if you don’t choose something that is 100% cotton. You can always bring your item in-store and evaluate it by one of our printing experts.

We accept most format files at InstaCustoms to make your life easier! Here are a few of these extensions explained to allow you to choose the one that suits you the most and that will maximize the rendering of your file!
The .png file is used for its transparent backgrounds and because it is easy to use for the web.
The .jpg is a similar format to the .png but it doesn’t support a transparent background. It will immediately put a white background.
The .ai format comes directly from the illustrator software which is a file format developed by Adobe to represent vectorial drawing.
The .psd format comes directly from the photoshop software.
The .eps format is a file used to transfer an image of vector illustration from software to software and adapts to all sizes.
The .pdf file is a universal format that keeps all fonts, images, layout and graphics in the source document, whatever software used. That really facilitates the touch-ups to your design on our side!
Online, we only accept PNG, JPEG and GIF files.
You can know by the extension in the file name so example "picture.png" so it's a png.
To change it, you need to use a graphic design tool or software and export it in the file type you want. If you do not know how to do that we can certainly help.
No we do not. If you upload a trademarked file, you accept all responsibility.
Yes we always have our huge variety of clothing available in all sizes so we could always be ready to start any size order.
No other printing company has the wide variety or inventory as we do.
In-store we offer top of the line DTG printing and Turbo Vinyl printing. We also offer Mug printing.
Absolutely you could bring your own items but we will need to evaluate your items because there are many different variables to consider.
To have the best possible result it is important that your item is 100% cotton. Other fabrics won’t give you the same result in printing and you might be disappointed. We can’t guarantee that the end product will be good or durable if you don’t choose something that is 100% cotton. You can always bring your item in-store and evaluate it by one of our printing experts.
Be careful with items that contain plastic or zippers. We use very hot presses that are 400 degrees to prepare the items. Consequently, everything that has plastic or zippers risk melting inside and damaging your items.
Please take note that digital printing does not work with polyester items and items that have pockets. In those cases, we can use turbo vinyl. If you have any questions on which materials are acceptable for printing please call us. We can’t guarantee that the end product will be good or durable if you don’t choose something that is 100% cotton. You can always bring your item in-store and evaluate it by one of our printing experts.
Unfortunately no. The mugs need to be specially coated in order to be printable. This means that you can’t print on a mug you’ll find in your kitchen cupboard or from another store. Our mugs have all been treated with a special coating.
My favorite one of all is the Magic Mug! A Magic Mug is a black mug that turns white when you pour a hot liquid inside of it thus making your hidden image magically appear!! This mug makes an excellent surprise or a very nice gift idea! We are one of the very few printing companies that offer this Magic Mug!
Unfortunately no. If you want to maintain the “magic effect” you should wash it by hand but the mug will still be useful even without the magic effect.
