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.

Exchanges

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. Customers will be responsible for the cost of shipping items back to Tag-it Express or dropping it off at our store location in Oshawa. 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
  • Intimate items (for health/hygiene reasons)
  • Items on sale

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.

Do you offer sleeve printing?

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

What is DTG?

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.
