What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

MOQ is 50 pieces per design, per size, per color. We do not require per-style minimums, so you can mix sizes freely. Reorders start at 30 pieces.

Can you print all-over on cotton T-shirts?

Yes. We run digital pigment ink on 100% cotton via direct-to-garment (DTG) printing, which holds color on cotton without polyester. We also offer allover digital print on cotton for true edge-to-edge, and DTF for blended fabrics.

Do you ship DDP (door-to-door with duties paid)?

Yes. DDP is available to 50+ countries via DHL, FedEx, and ocean freight. Your landed cost is fixed at quote time: no surprise customs bills on delivery. US orders can ship from our Fontana CA warehouse in 2–5 days.

How long does production take?

Sample: 3–5 business days after artwork approval. Bulk: 10–15 business days for sublimation, 15–20 for DTG cotton. Shipping adds 3–7 days by air or 25–40 days by sea. Rush orders are accepted.

What file format should I send?

AI, PSD, PDF, or PNG at 300 DPI. Include a mockup or tech pack for accurate sizing. We provide a free artwork check and mockup before production starts.

Do you handle design if I only have a sketch?

Yes. Our in-house design team converts sketches, references, and bullet-point briefs into print-ready artwork. Free mockup, no commitment, no IP claim.

How we print on pongee.

Dye-sublimationDTF (direct-to-film)

Pongee is dye-sublimation-friendly, meaning we can print photo-quality all-over graphics edge-to-edge. The print becomes part of the fiber — it won't crack, peel, or fade. For other substrates in your project, we offer DTF and screen-print as fallback options.

FAQ

Common questions about pongee.

Is pongee waterproof?

Pongee is naturally water-resistant (repels light rain) but not fully waterproof. For full waterproofing, the fabric is typically coated with PU or PVC. We can supply both uncoated and coated pongee.
