* Please Note Regarding Fabric Edges & Printing: Due to the custom digital textile printing process, fabric edges are fed through rotary rollers under tension. Minor rolling, slight curling, or subtle creasing may occasionally occur within the outer 4–5 inches of the selvage/edges during processing. This is standard across custom textile printing and does not impact the primary usable print area. As such, minor edge curling or creasing within 4–5 inches of the fabric border is not eligible for refunds or replacements. We appreciate your understanding!
