Do I get to see my logo?

Yes, definitely! Once you place an order—whether online or through our sales team—you'll receive an Embroidery or Print proof within 3 working days. This proof ensures your logo appears exactly how you want it on your items.

Please note, we reserve design previews for paying customers only, due to the volume of requests and time required.

Can you remove the background on my logo?

Yes, we can! Background removal is part of our standard design process, as it typically enhances the logo's appearance and boosts brand recognition.

However, the final outcome depends on the specific design, application method (embroidery or print), and garment choice.
