A creative-project quote should start with the outcome
Ivywild’s creative and community-oriented energy makes it a natural context for custom merchandise, event shirts, staff apparel, and small brand projects. Those projects succeed when the first conversation covers the garment experience as carefully as the artwork itself.
ARK serves Ivywild from Colorado Springs. Use the quote form to share the creative direction, the kind of garment you have in mind, the print coverage, size range, quantity, and timing. That gives the production decision a useful foundation.

Make the creative brief production-ready
The following examples are planning prompts, not statements of a relationship with an Ivywild venue, market, business, or event.
01 · MAKE
For a design-led garment, explain the illustration or logo, intended hand feel, garment color, print scale, and first-run quantity.
02 · HOST
For a gathering, include the date, participant count, sponsors or back-print needs, garments, and the distribution approach.
03 · WORK
A team program benefits from clear logo placement, role variations, garment durability, and a plan for future hires or reorders.
Turn the concept into inputs
The design is important, but it is only one part of a production brief. The garment, coverage, quantity, timeline, and intended use all influence the right method.
Quote-first workflow

Choose the finish after the brief
A line-driven illustration, a soft retail graphic, a bright full-color image, and a simple staff mark ask different things of a print process. Use the quote to compare screen printing, DTF, water-based, discharge, or embroidery in relation to the actual design.
Use the quote form to describe the project. These service pages can help you understand the production conversation before you submit it.

Short answers to the decisions that make a custom-apparel request easier to scope.
Yes. A rough concept, logo, or visual reference is useful. Include the garment direction, quantity estimate, and desired timing.
Yes. Note the garment color, artwork coverage, desired hand feel, and quantity so those options can be reviewed against the project.
Include every planned garment color and design variation in the request. Those choices can affect the print approach and quote.
ARK Screen Printing Studio is based in Colorado Springs and serves Ivywild apparel projects through a quote-first workflow.
Screen printing needs a screen made for each ink color, so it starts at 24 shirts — that's where it pays off. Under 24, we print with DTF: no screens, no setup, full color, even for a single shirt. Tell us your quantity and we'll recommend the right method — you don't need to know which one you want.
From your quote to your door in Ivywild — and you see the proof first.
Pick the garment, the quantity and where it's printed — the form shows your price as you go. About two minutes. Prefer to talk it through? Text us.
Your free digital mockup will be ready within 10 minutes of confirming the details with you—no commitment required. Rough artwork? We'll clean it up free.
Tweak the mockup until it's right. Nothing is printed until you approve it and pay the invoice.
Approve the proof and pay the invoice, and we start your order the same day — garments ordered, films printed, screens burned. Most screen-print orders are ready in 5–10 business days. Local pickup available, or we ship anywhere in the US.

I had a great experience working with ARK screen printing! Communication was excellent—Alex was very quick to respond and always open to any adjustments I needed along the way. The whole process felt easy and collaborative, which I really appreciated. The final shirts turned out exactly how I wanted. I would definitely use his services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work and great customer service!

I had gone online to request a quote for a couple shirts and left it as that, Alex called me to follow up on the quote and to me the call itself showed such great customer service and we talked about what I wanted, I decided to move forward with the purchase of my shirts and so glad I did! I highly recommend for anyone looking for custom shirts :)
