What is Combine & Save Bulk Pricing?
At InstaCustoms we believe that the more you purchase the better the price should be. This is why we have 7 price categories. 1-5 total items, 6-10 total items, 11-25 total items, 26-50 total items, and finally 51 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.
Can you give me an example?
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.
What if I have different items? Does it still apply?
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.
Can I combine different colours?
Absolutely!! You can have 100 different colours, sizes, items, designs …..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 don’t do this. We are the ONLY place that offers this Combine and Save pricing system.
Can I combine different designs?

Do any of your competitors offer this?
We are the ONLY place that understands that most clients do NOT want to order the same exact item with the same design in order to get a better price. We understand that the client wants a better price and they want to combine and save their order. We are the ONLY place that offers this Combine and Save pricing system.
What are the different printing options when you want to print on clothing?
The 5 types of printing options available on the market are Direct to Garment (DTG), Vinyl, Silk Screening, Sublimation and Transfer Paper.
What are the best printing options listed from best to worse?
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.
How do I know which option to choose?
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.
Which of these printing options do you offer at InstaCustoms?
At InstaCutoms we offer 3 printing options: DTG Direct to Garment, Embroidery and German Turbo Vinyl. We only offer the best quality. We will NEVER compromise our quality like most other places do.
I got a printed shirt somewhere else, how do I know what type of printing I got?
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 - What Is Direct to Garment (DTG)?
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.
DTG - Are there limits to how many colours DTG can print?
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.
DTG - Is DTG the best type of printing option available?
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.
DTG - What types of designs can I print with DTG?
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 - What type of fabrics can be printed on with DTG?
DTG is best used with 100% cotton, or at least 50% cotton. The more cotton the better.
DTG - Can you print any design using DTG?
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.
DTG - If I was to order another image or design from somewhere else do you think they would use DTG as a printing option?
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.
DTG - How long does a DTG shirt last?
A DTG shirt could last up to 200 washes and should keep its vibrant colours. It’s amazing how good Direct to Garment is.
VINYL - What is Vinyl?
It’s a sheet of colored plastic rubber material that is heat pressed onto your clothing.
VINYL - What would you rate Chinese vinyl, Easy Weed and Turbo Vinyl out of 10 ?
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.
VINYL - How long does Vinyl last?
Chinese and Italian don’t last very long but Top Turbo Vinyl last for up to 150 washes.
VINYL - So the only vinyl you use at InstaCustoms is Turbo Vinyl?
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.
VINYL - What are the colors of TURBO VINYL available at InstaCustoms ?
We have a LOT of colours. Please inquire with us if you require a specific colour!
TRANSFERT PAPER - What Is Transfer Paper?
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.
TRANSFERT PAPER - How long does a Transfer Paper shirt last?
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.
TRANSFERT PAPER - How does Transfer Paper feel on the shirt?
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.
Can you compare and tell us what printing is better between DTG and Vinyl? How do you know which to choose?
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.
Which is better? DTG VS VINYL
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.
Which lasts longer? DTG vs VINYL
They both last approximately the same.

Which is better? DTG VS GERMAN TURBO VINYL
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.
Which lasts longer? DTG VS GERMAN TURBO VINYL
They both last approximately the same.
Can you compare and tell us what printing is better between DTG and Transfer Paper? Which is better?
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.
What is the difference? DTG VS TRANSFERT PAPER
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.
Which will last longer? DTG VS TRANSFERT PAPER
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.
Can you compare and tell us what printing is better between German Turbo Vinyl and Chinese Vinyl? Which is 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!
What is the difference? GERMAN TURBO VS CHINESE TRANSFER PAPER
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.
Which lasts longer? GERMAN TURBO VS CHINESE TRANSFER PAPER
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 German 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.

The .jpg is a similar format to the .png but it doesn’t support a transparent background. It will immediately put a white background.

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.
Are there any exceptions to what I could bring?
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.
Will I get the same quality printing on my own 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.

You can always bring your item in-store and evaluate it by one of our printing experts.
Can I bring my own mugs?
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.
What is your favorite Mug?
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!
Is the Magic Mug dishwasher safe?

Would I have to order a garment in advance to assure you guys have it in inventory?
We usually always have everything we need to be ready for an order. But if for any reason we’ll order it and it will be available within 1-3 business days. We also have large quantities of the most popular sizes going all the way up to 2XL! We have hundreds of products, t-shirts, hoodies, crew necks, long sleeve t-shirts, aprons, polos, hats, mugs, etc. I’m sure you’ll find what you’re looking for!
Do the Competitors always have a full inventory?
Not usually. This is why they tell you these ridiculous due dates because they carry nothing in stock. It’s a funny way to do business. I’m a firm believer of always having as much as possible in stock.
Do you always have a huge variety of colours?
YES. We have an amazing array of colours and items. The most of anybody.
Do you guys always have all sizes available?
We also have large quantities of the most popular sizes going all the way up to 5XL! We have hundreds of products, t-shirts, hoodies, hats, crew necks, aprons, mugs, polos, etc. I’m sure you’ll find what you’re looking for!
Don’t the competitors also have all these colours and sizes available too?
No other printing company offers a large variety of items like we do. Our competitors are usually unprepared to start a large order and need to order in the clothing before getting started. This is ridiculous
