Do you ship retail orders to international customers?

   No.
   Only our wholesale orders can be shipped internationally.

What will happen to the Water-based Ink when I wash the shirt, will the design 'wash-out'?

   No.
   Over time, with several washes, the design will appear to 'weather' a bit. this is actually caused by 'fibrillation', a natural breakdown of the cotton shirt material where microscopic fibers stand up on the shirt and make the ink appear to fade. Because it actually becomes part of the fabric, a properly cured water-based ink will never wash off the shirt.
   Most people consider this gradual, subtle fading more aesthetically pleasing than the cracking and peeling of plasticol ink.

Do Liberty Graphics' shirts shrink?

      Yes. They are pre-shrunk, but will shrink up to 5% if washed in hot water or mechanically dried hot.

How do you ship my order?

   We ship individual retail orders via USPS, and please note when ordering it is important to include your street address. Five dollars is charged for shipping and handling a retail order.

   Wholesale orders are shipped via UPS unless otherwise requested. The cost of shipping wholesale orders is added to the bill.

What makes your GLOW shirts glow and is it dangerous?

     We make our designs glow by adding phosphorescent powder to the inks. It is a luminescent pigment that comes from the zinc sulfide family and contains zinc oxide.
   The Material Safety Data from the manufacturer assures us that there is no health danger by absorption or ingestion. Once mixed with our ink system and cured into the shirt, it is virtually impossible to actually come in contact with the 'glow' element itself.

Do you offer long sleeve and/or sweatshirts?

  We do offer both on a limited amount of selected designs. If you are interested in purchasing a long sleeve T or a sweatshirt please call 888-660-2505 (8am-5pm daily EST).
