🐀 FAQ — Filthy Answers to Your Dirty Questions

Rat Bastard Screen-Printing isn’t your average print shop, and these aren’t your average answers.

❓What’s your minimum order?

🐁 12 shirts. That’s one crusty dozen. We call it the Lone Rat Tier.  If you need fewer than that, go ask your aunt with the Cricut.

❓How fast do you print?

🪤 Standard turnaround is 10–14 business days from the day you approve artwork and toss us the cheddar. Want it sooner? Ask for “Rats on Speed” — rush jobs cost extra, but we’ll gnaw through nights to make it happen.

❓Can I bring my own shirts?

Nope. Absolutely not.
We don’t print on mystery fabric, DIY blanks, or that box of shirts your bassist found behind a dumpster. We only print on blanks we source. Why? Because we know what works, we know what survives, and we don’t want to hear complaints when your cousin’s shirts disintegrate in the dryer.

❓What kind of shirts do you print on?

Band-tested classics like Gildan 64000, Gildan 5000, Bella + Canvas 3001, and a few other options depending on how picky your fur-covered drummer is. You want soft? We got soft. You want boxy and bulletproof? We got that too.

❓Can I get front AND back prints?

Hell yeah. We call it The Ratback Ripper Tier — front, back, sleeves, neck tags, even lower back “Who Gives a Rat’s Ass.” Stack ‘em if you dare.

❓How many colors can I print?

We keep it bold and manageable — up to 4 colors per print location. We love chaos, but not in registration.

❓Do you do full-color digital or DTG?

Absolutely not.
That’s softcore printing. We do screen printing only — real ink, real screens, real filth.

❓Can you design my artwork too?

Sure, for a fee. If you’ve got the concept but no clean file, we’ll help. If you bring us a potato-quality screenshot from 2007, expect to pay for rat rehab.

❓Can I get just one shirt? Like, a sample?

Nah. This ain’t Etsy. We roll in groups — minimum is 12. 

❓Do you offer embroidery? Stickers? Pins?

We don’t stitch. But we might offer stickers, posters, and pins if your art rules and you’re not annoying. Just ask.

❓What if I hate my shirts?

If we screw up — we fix it.
If you signed off on it and now you’ve got regret? That’s between you and your rat god. Approvals are final.

❓What don’t you print?

We Won’t Print:
• Hate speech
• Bigoted garbage
• Political stuff
• Nazi trash
We’re rats, not fascists. Don’t test us
