10 FAQs About Rhinestone Printing Services in Chicago

Inkdnylon Custom Apparel offers precision rhinestone design and placement in Chicago using a CAMS rhinestone machine. We offer flat-rate rhinestone pricing — based on design size and stone count, not stitches — and there’s no minimum order.

1. What is rhinestone printing?

Rhinestone printing uses heat-applied crystal or glass stones arranged in your custom design. We use CAMS machine automation for exact placement and consistency.

2. How much does it cost?

Rhinestone prints start at $6.00 for a 2"x2" design. Larger or more complex layouts increase in price. Full chest designs average $12–$20 depending on detail and stone count.

3. Do you charge a setup fee?

Yes. Our rhinestone setup fee is $50 per new design. This covers digitizing your layout for our CAMS machine.

4. Is there a minimum order?

No. We offer no minimum rhinestone printing. You can order one hoodie, tee, or tote with full design service.

5. What types of garments work with rhinestones?

We recommend smooth garments: tees, hoodies, jackets, and cotton/poly blends. We do not apply rhinestones to textured or super-stretch garments.

6. What rhinestone colors are available?

We stock clear, black diamond, red, pink, blue, gold, green, and aurora. Custom tones and multi-color blends are available on request.

7. Will rhinestones fall off in the wash?

No — our rhinestones are heat-pressed and professionally cured. Turn inside out, wash cold, and hang dry to preserve longevity.

8. Can you combine rhinestones with other print methods?

Yes. Rhinestones pair beautifully with vinyl, spangles, and DTF for layered or hybrid designs.

9. Can I send my own artwork?

Yes. Upload your design or sketch and we’ll convert it into a rhinestone-ready layout. 📤 Upload your artwork to begin.

10. How do I order?
