Services
Screen Printing
Our screen printing service creates vibrant, long-lasting designs on apparel using advanced water-based inks. We employ both manual and automatic printing presses with CMYK, spot color, half-tone, and duotone methods. Each project receives meticulous attention to detail with precise color matching and registration. Our process ensures crisp, professional results suitable for simple logos to complex multi-color designs.
Embroidery
We offer premium embroidery services that transform designs into durable, professional stitched artwork. Using computerized machines, we create precise 3D foam embroidery and traditional thread designs. Our experts help select optimal thread colors and materials to ensure lasting quality. Embroidery works particularly well for logos on polo shirts, hats, and workwear where durability and sophistication are essential.
Custom T-Shirts
We specialize in creating custom t-shirts for businesses, schools, and events using both printing and embroidery techniques. Our service includes design consultation, fabric selection, and customization options ranging from basic text to complex graphics. We offer various styles including crew necks, v-necks, long sleeves, and performance wear to suit every need and occasion.
Questions
What's the difference between embroidery and screen printing?
Embroidery stitches designs directly into fabric using thread, creating a textured look ideal for logos on polos and hats. Screen printing uses ink for vibrant, detailed designs better suited for t-shirts and larger graphics.
What materials work best for screen printing?
100% cotton provides the best ink absorption, but we also print on cotton blends, polyester, and performance fabrics using specialized inks for optimal results.
Can I order just one custom t-shirt?
While we accept single orders, our pricing is more economical for quantities of 12 or more due to setup costs for screen printing.
How do I prepare my design for printing?
We accept vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) or high-resolution raster files (300dpi). Our designers can help convert your artwork to print-ready format if needed.
What is your turnaround time?
Standard orders take 5-7 business days after art approval, with rush options available for urgent requests.
Do you offer bulk order discounts?
Yes, we provide tiered pricing with significant discounts for larger quantities. Contact us for a customized quote based on your specific needs.

I spent $2000 on my initial order with 10% of the shirts having issues. Andy promised a discount on my 2nd batch of shirts. I asked for an identical batch of shirts as I needed more for my company but this time less on quantity, roughly $500. Andy did not perform an identical batch of shirts instead he made the design to his liking and told me it looked good and didmt need changing. When I expressed to him that I was not happy and these are not identical shirts and I would not give these out nor use these shirts he looked at me like I was being ridiculous and laughed at me out of his store saying

Andy is amazing, bar none! We've had shirts done for our business several times and every time we do, its a home run. He suggests possible ways to do our logo based on his experience, and he gets them finished always sooner than expected. He breaks down costs and is super reasonable! Thank you Andy! I will be sending everybody needing shirts or designs your way
