How it gets on there

Four ways
to decorate.

Screen printing

24+ pieces, bold artwork

The classic. Ink pushed through a screen, one screen per color. Softest feel and the best price per shirt once quantities climb.

Embroidery

Hats, polos, outerwear

Stitched thread. The most premium and durable option, and the default for headwear, jackets and bags.

DTF transfers

1–48 pieces, full color

Full-color artwork heat pressed onto the garment. No color limits and no per-color setup, so small runs stay affordable.

Heat transfer vinyl

Names + numbers

Cut vinyl pressed piece by piece. Ideal for rosters, jersey numbers and one-off personalization.

  • Reorders: art and specs stay on file, so repeats skip setup.

Quick answers

Custom apparel
questions.

What is the minimum order for custom shirts?

Screen printing starts at 12 pieces because of screen setup. DTF transfers, heat transfer vinyl and embroidery can be done as a single piece, so there's no real minimum if you only need a few.

How much does custom apparel printing cost?

Price depends on the garment, the number of ink colors and the quantity. Per-piece cost drops sharply between 12 and 48 pieces, then flattens. We'll quote two or three quantities so you can see where the price break lands.

How long does it take?

Most orders run about 7–10 business days after you approve the proof. Rush production is available when the calendar allows — give us your deadline up front.

What artwork do you need from me?

A vector file (AI, EPS, SVG or vector PDF) is ideal. A high-resolution PNG at 300 DPI at print size also works. If your logo is low quality, we can redraw it as clean vector art.

Can you print on shirts I already have?

Sometimes, yes. Customer-supplied garments carry a little risk since a misprint can't be replaced, so we'll talk through it before running the job.

Can you ship to individual people?

Yes. We can bulk ship to one address or split and drop ship to individual employees, team members or clients anywhere in the US.
