Pricing & Quotes
Screen printing costs are not a one-size fits all number. The pricing it takes to print your job is as unique as the design you want on your tee. We don’t list our pricing here because we don’t want to establish an expectation that may be drastically incorrect or misinterpreted. The best way of getting the ball rolling on your order is to email us and provide these 4 key pieces of information:
Design: Please attach or include the desired artwork. We can’t get you numbers if we can’t see what we are being asked to print
Quantities: Include an idea of how many total pieces you need and start thinking of size breakdowns (i.e. S, M, L, XL, 2XL)
Garment & Styles: Cheap tee, ring-spun cotton, tri-blend, zip-up hoodie, etc. What do you want to wear?
Deadline: When are you needing these by? We can do rush orders, but before we do anything, it’s best to have a date to start with.
After we get these basics, we’ll need to determine if your design is print ready. If it’s not, that doesn’t mean we can’t do it, it just means there may have to be some extra time on our end to get it up to par. We do offer graphic design services and art preparations for an additional cost. It all depends on the scale of the job and what you can provide us with for files.

Quality Over Quantity
The other thing to remember is cheaper isn’t always better. Having a budget is completely fine, however, I’ll tell you that easily half of the jobs that come through our door are because the customer had a bad experience with custom apparel before. Whether they used a faceless, online behemoth, or maybe it was simply another shop in town that didn’t make them feel that they still mattered because they weren’t ordering 10,000 shirts or they didn’t get what they were expecting. All those things, limit your ability to work with someone to get exactly what you want. You can’t pop by to check out samples. You can’t verify colors. You have to pay shipping. The quality is almost always subpar because they are just trying to churn out as many orders as possible, not paying attention or considering that there is always a better way to achieve a better result than just slapping plastisol on a shirt and sending it away. They used DTG printing instead of screen printing. The possibilities are endless and so is the disappointment.
We encourage you to schedule an appointment and to come by if you need to! We take pride in our work but also in every band, brand or small business that walks through our door. We’re fully invested in what you do, your success is our success too. Look at any of our social media accounts, we love promoting you! We love the community we live and work in, and are proud to get the opportunity to give you the best retail-ready options for whatever your situation calls for. We add a lot of value outside of our print quality. We provide many extra services to enhance your overall success. Whether that is a realistic, photo mockup of your job to share and promote online to your customers, our ability to do smaller print runs, flexible-after hours and pick up times for your finished order, or rush and quick turnovers without sacrificing quality, to name just a few. Give us a chance to fix someone else’s mistake and show you that you can get some real nice, customized merch without the headaches and hangups you may have already experienced.
