The size breakdown affects the order
A total shirt quantity does not explain the mix of sizes, colors and styles. Confirm that breakdown before ordering blanks and keep the accepted quantities readable for the person preparing the work.
Software for screen printing business owners
Keep the approved garment order clear at every handoff.
The shirt quantity looks simple until the size breakdown, print positions and finishing choices reach the workshop. Connect the commercial order, blanks and invoice while your own artwork, proof approval and press procedures control how the print is produced.

The everyday details
You know the work.
The admin adds up.
Print positions add different work
A front print and an added sleeve position should not disappear into one vague description. Record the agreed placements and charges so a changed request can be priced and approved.
Customer changes reach the press late
An artwork revision or extra garments may arrive after the original agreement. Discuss what can be accepted and update the business record before production works from conflicting instructions.
Customer-supplied garments need a separate agreement
A client bringing their own blanks changes what the shop is providing. Discuss suitability, responsibilities and the accepted printing scope through your normal process before quoting it as though the garments were supplied by the business.
How Microtra helps
Keep the business connected.
Use the tools that fit your day, with your records ready on your phone or on the web.
Keep an order-level brief
Use order notes, tasks and status for garment descriptions, approved quantities and commercial scope. Microtra does not separate artwork, create screens or control presses; keep those specialist processes separately.

Retail shop starts with stock and locations enabled. Use saved items and variants for garment styles and sizes, with physical counts, transfers, reorder levels and supplier purchasing.
Explore this featureQuote setup and printing clearly
Separate agreed setup, garment quantities, print services and finishing where useful. Check units against the accepted size breakdown before sharing estimate and invoice PDFs through your device.
Explore this featureKeep repeat customer context

Questions from screen printing business owners.
Does this create artwork or color separations?
Microtra does not edit artwork, create separations or prepare screens. Use specialist design and production tools alongside its business order, stock and invoicing records.
What wording does a print business start with?
Retail shop uses Order and Customer, with stock and locations on. Schedule and timesheets start off and can be enabled in Modules & terms if needed.
Can blank shirts have size variants?
Saved items support variants, stock by location, physical counts and reorder levels. Keep your variant descriptions consistent with the garment breakdown accepted on the order.
Can customers approve proofs through a portal?
The client portal is coming soon. Manage artwork proof approval through your existing process and retain the accepted business scope in the order notes.
