Design 360
Design 360 is a student-run business located at Lanier College & Career Academy. We take Work-Based Learning students from Hall County High Schools to work as interns in the lab. We work with real-world clients to design and produce promotional items such as t-shirts, mugs, and more! Our student interns are involved throughout the whole process from communicating with clients, creating designs, to production. To inquire about placing an order, please email design360@hallco.org.

Direct to Garment Printing
This process works similarly to printing on paper with a regular printer. The design is dyed into the fabric of a cotton shirt.
There is NO white ink, so nothing will show up on black or dark colored items. Similarly, very bright colors will affect how the design looks. (Ex: A yellow design on a blue shirt will look a bit green.)
Any white in the design will be the color of the shirt. It works best on light colors like white, light grey, and light blue.
- No minimum order
- Most cost effective
- No black or dark colored shirts
- No white in the design
- Light shirt colors recommended
- Able to do full color designs
- Able to do intricate details like small text
- Starts at $7

Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)
We cut vector designs from Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV), remove all of the excess HTV from the design, and then apply it on top of the shirt.
Designs cut with HTV cannot be very small or intricate. Designs must be vectors files (.ai, .svg, .eps, .dxf, and some .pdf) for us to be able to cut them.
We typically only use 1 color of HTV, but can potentially layer up to 3. HTV works well with all shirt colors and fabrics.

Screen Print Transfers
We have the design screen printed onto transfer paper by our vendor then apply it on top of the shirt. Our vendor has different order minimums based on amount of colors used in the design (1, 2 or 3+). The price increases with the amount of colors used.
Full color designs and intricate designs are possible. They work well with all shirt colors and fabrics. These orders may take slightly longer as we have to wait for the transfers to be printed and shipped to us.

Wide Format Printing & Stickers
Wide Format Printing
With our wide format printer, we’re able to print on plain/drafting quality paper, heavyweight coated paper, and canvas material. This process uses water soluble ink, so these items are best suited for indoor use. You may provide your own photos or designs or the lab can assist with the design. We will verify that any designs and/or photographs sent to us have a high enough resolution to print with the highest quality.
Posters
We stock our plain/drafting paper and heavyweight coated paper in 24″ and 36″ rolls. Please email design360@hallco.org to confirm availability and check pricing for the size of your project.
