Services
Custom Screen Printing
Our screen printing service produces durable, vibrant designs on t-shirts, hoodies, and workwear using professional-grade inks and equipment. This method ensures crisp details and colorfast results that withstand repeated washing. Ideal for bulk orders, our process maintains consistency across every printed item while accommodating complex multi-color designs.
Custom Embroidery
Precision embroidery services add professional branding to uniforms, corporate apparel, and promotional products. We use computerized machines to create detailed logos and text in multiple thread colors. This permanent decoration method works on various fabrics while maintaining a polished, upscale appearance suitable for businesses and organizations.
Heat Printing
Heat transfer vinyl application provides quick customization for single items or small batches. Our premium vinyl materials adhere securely to garments while maintaining flexibility and comfort. This technique works well for intricate designs and gradients that would be challenging with traditional screen printing methods.
DTF Transfers
Direct-to-film transfers enable full-color printing without color limitations or fabric restrictions. This digital process produces photographic-quality images that bond permanently with various textiles. Our DTF service offers cost-effective short-run capabilities while maintaining commercial durability standards.

Had a small run of hats embroidered and couldn't be happier. Season was very accommodating and the quality was great! Delivered on time.

I went to MiaD for some embroidery work on some bags for gifts. They were responsive and communicative and quickly turned the work around. I could not be happier with the quality of work and the service.

After my negative experience, I went back to the store for the refund that was begrudgingly offered by the owner. When I got to the store a very attentive and helpful Employee offered to fix the mistake in lieu of the refund. I left the shirt with my number for them to contact me when the fixes were made. A week later got a call from the owner telling me to come get my shirt and my money because they were not fixing the shirt because of my yelp review. I told her my review could change if they did the work well. Now everyone can see the depths of your character. Your response is indicative of how

I found Monkey In A Dryer on Google by typing: Everyone orders their own shirts....We were late in finding a t-shirt source for our family reunion in July. I wondered if there were places where people could order, pay for and have shirts shipped to themselves....There were not too many choices out there and despite of or because of it's name, I chose this company. We provided our design and were given help by Dallas from design to put the finishing touches on it. Season was very helpful in helping figure out the timeline for ordering and shipping so that everyone would get their shirts on
