What is not covered

Custom work has variables. The guarantee does not cover the following:

  • Change of mind, preference changes after proof approval, or sizing selected by the customer.
  • Courier delays, customs delays, or stock backorders outside our control.
  • Colour variance up to 10 percent between on-screen RGB and ink or thread on fabric.
  • Minor press or pre-treatment marks that generally wash out after the first wash.
  • Wear and tear from normal use, misuse, or not following care instructions.

Sizing charts include a tolerance of ±2 cm. Embroidery placement tolerance is ±5 mm.

Quality standards

Decoration methods

  • DTG: pre-treatment and heat press may leave faint boxes or residue; this typically disappears after the first wash.
  • DTF and screen print: light press impressions can appear and relax with washing.
  • We choose the most suitable method unless you specify otherwise at order time.

Sampling and approvals

  • We encourage ordering a paid sample for critical branding or large runs.
  • We proceed based on your approved proof or stitch preview.
Alignment
Prints and embroidery aligned to the approved template unless otherwise specified.
Opacity
Ink coverage suitable to fabric colour and method; vintage looks require explicit request.
Thread match
Closest Isacord match to Pantone or brand reference considering sheen and fabric tone.

Care to keep your guarantee

Wash and wear

  • Wash cold, inside out, with similar colours.
  • Tumble dry low or hang dry; avoid high heat.
  • Do not iron directly on prints or embroidery.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners on decorated areas.

What to expect

  • Minor shrinkage may occur depending on fabric and care.
  • Slight colour softening over many washes is normal for water-based and DTG inks.

Embroidery guarantee

Stability and durability

  • Underlay and density tuned to fabric for balanced coverage and minimal puckering.
  • Loose threads trimmed; small remnants are acceptable within industry norms.
  • 3D puff available only where artwork and garment allow; small edge trims can remain after foam compression.

Readability and colour

  • Letters below 4 mm may lose clarity; we recommend larger fonts or simplified artwork.
  • Pantone to thread is an approximation; closest Isacord match used to achieve consistent results.
  • Placement tolerance is ±5 mm for chest, sleeve, and cap locations.
