How AKD Ink Gets Your Custom Apparel From Idea to Doorstep
A simple, in-house 4-step workflow. Most orders ship in 7–10 business days, with rush available when you need it sooner.
Need it fast? We do rush — in-house.
Other LA-area shops outsource or batch their screens, which can add a week before production even starts. AKD burns screens, prints, and finishes every job at our Chatsworth shop, so rush orders skip the queue instead of joining one.
7–10 business days
The relaxed pace most shops quote. No premium.
3–5 business days
Same in-house workflow, prioritized on the press. Most popular.
1–2 business days
Tight deadline? We’ll move the schedule — subject to capacity.

Our prepress team reviews every artwork file and prepares a virtual or digital mockup so you can see placement, sizing, and color before any ink hits fabric. You approve the proof and we’re ready to schedule production.
