Because we do custom printed products we cannot provide returns for sizing issues or buyers remorse. Please be sure to check the sizing charts provided on the product pages and to properly review mock-ups before finalizing your order. If a particular item does not have a sizing chart we can provide you with one by your request at tagit.printers@gmail.com.
For wrong address or unclaimed items, you will be liable for reshipment costs.

We can offer exchanges on our stock products if they are sent back to us unused. You have 14 days to notify us of the exchanges and 30 days to ship it back to us.

Exchanges can only be made once the items are received and confirmed undamaged by Tag-it Express.
Cancelations
Once your order is placed, the production process begins immediately. If you need to cancel an order, please call or email us as soon as possible and we will do our best to see if we can accommodate your cancellation request, but it is not guaranteed. You may be subjected to a small cancellation fee if materials have already been used.
Because of the nature of these items, unless they arrive damaged or defective, we can’t accept returns for:
- Custom or personalized orders

Artwork
What resolution is optimal for my artwork?
300dpi (dots-per-inch) is our minimum.
For best results please use high resolution .jpeg or .png images or vectored.
What if my image quality is too low?
Our design team will contact you if your artwork will not work, however, we will try our best to come up with an alternative solution.
Yes, of course! We can add custom sleeve prints.
Will you screen-print my order, or will you use DTG (direct-to-garment)?
We use DTG to create full colour prints.
Printing Methods
Direct-to-Garment Printing is a high-quality method of printing custom apparel. Printing uses a specially formatted inkjet printer that prints water-based ink directly into the fabric of your t-shirts. DTG printing is ideally used to print multi-color images or to reproduce photos. Direct-to-Garment leaves a softer feel but still has the same long-lasting durability as Screen Printing.
