In addition to custom screen-printing and embroidery services, Clubhouse Designs offers a variety of graphic services, including custom-designed T-shirt graphics, logo designs for small businesses, clubs and organizations, graphic design for your ads, flyers, announcements and brochures.

Submitting Your Art

We can accept artwork from you or your art department in a variety of formats, including hard art (camera ready) or digital format. To make sure we can readily convert your digital or conventionally produced graphics to an image that can be screened or embroidered to your satisfaction, as well as to our exacting standards, click here to learn how to best submit your art.

Custom T-Shirt Graphics

We can help you with your graphic concept development for your screen-printed or embroidered apparel.  If you’d like to see some samples of our print work, click here.

Creativity is only one part of creating a successful design for your apparel.  We can also help you with:

  • Choosing the right apparel
  • Recommending appealing color combinations
  • Choosing the right number of colors to make your graphic eye-catching, yet affordable. Remember, the more colors, the greater the screen charges. The same applies to embroidery. More colors mean longer run times and more stitches. For screened graphics, two spot colors with carefully applied halftones can give the appearance of more colors, but more economically.

 Graphic Design

We offer budget conscious customers a variety of graphic services, including logo and business stationery design, layout and design for flyers, tri-fold brochures, posters and more. We work mainly in the PC graphics platform, utilizing CorelDRAW, versions 8 and 5, and Pagemaker 6.0. For those of you interested in graphics for the Mac environment, Corel 8.0 allows us to save files as Adobe Illustraor files for the Mac. To view some logo design samples, click here .

Art Charges

Artwork charges can vary dramatically from project to project. Selecting a piece of clip art and adding type may take only minutes, while developing a concept based on a theme, then preparing the artwork may take several hours. Even if you provide the art, several factors affect the "art time" required to convert your art into a good printable or embroiderable image. The quality of the art provided, the complexity of the design, the number of colors, the difficulty in preparing color separations, etc., all affect the final output. If you are interested in our services, call or e-mail us to discuss your project. Following is a guideline to estimate art charges:
