Common questions
Does DTFATL print on weekends?
Standard production runs Monday through Friday. Orders placed after the Friday deadline or during the weekend begin on the next available production day unless the product states otherwise.
When can I pick up my order in Atlanta?
Pick up only after DTFATL sends the order-ready notification. Confirmed orders may be collected from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily. Staffed assistance is available Monday through Friday from noon to 6:00 PM.
Does DTFATL edit customer artwork?
Standard print products require print-ready artwork. DTFATL does not automatically redesign, recreate, resize, remove backgrounds, or repair files unless a separate design service is clearly included.
The options you choose at checkout determine your order. Contact DTFATL before ordering when you have an unusual deadline or requirement.
