If it takes a logo, we can almost certainly put one on it. These are the categories most projects land in; if yours is not here, text us anyway.
Game-day tees, club shirts, event runs. Soft blanks people keep wearing, not drawer-stuffers.
Heavyweight hoodies, crewnecks, quarter-zips, and joggers. The pieces that get fought over.
Embroidered polos, button-downs, and outer layers that make a crew read like a team.
Embroidered caps, knit beanies, and visors. Structured crown or relaxed fit.
Practice shirts, shooter shirts, sideline layers, travel sets, and bags. Full game uniforms are their own program on our products pages.
Totes, towels, blankets, and the giveaway table for a grand opening, a graduation, or a golf tournament.
Four ways to put art on a blank. We pick the method for your art, your fabric, and your quantity, and we will tell you why we picked it.
The classic. Ink pressed through a stencil, one screen per color, a print that outlasts the shirt. Pricing gets better as the count goes up.
Stitched, not printed. Thread has texture and a shelf life measured in years, which is why it belongs on staff apparel and headwear.
Direct to garment: the design prints straight into the fabric like a photograph. No screens to burn, so one-offs and short runs stay affordable.
Direct to film: the design transfers with heat and holds color on nearly any fabric. The flexible pick when one logo has to land on cotton tees, poly performance wear, and a tote in the same order.
Blanks come from brands like Nike, Under Armour, Adidas, Augusta, Holloway, and Champion, so the garment holds up as long as the print.

T-shirts, hoodies, polos, hats, practice gear, totes, towels, blankets, and most things a logo fits on.
Apparel is the core: t-shirts, hoodies, crewnecks, quarter-zips, polos, button-downs, joggers, and headwear. Around it we handle promotional products and event merch like totes, towels, and blankets. Blanks come from brands like Nike, Under Armour, Adidas, Augusta, Holloway, and Champion. If you are not sure whether we can print something, text a photo of what you have in mind.
Yes. Screen printing, embroidery, DTG, and DTF are all on the menu; we match the method to your art, fabric, and quantity.
Yes. Screen printing carries bold art and bigger runs, embroidery covers polos, hats, and anything that should read premium, DTG handles full-color art on small runs, and DTF transfers land complex designs across mixed fabrics. You do not have to know which one you need: send the art and the quantity and we will recommend the method and say why.
No hard minimum. Small runs quote honestly; some methods simply price better at volume, and we will tell you which.
We quote the count you actually need rather than forcing a floor. Digital methods like DTG and DTF keep short runs affordable, and a single embroidered polo is a real order. Screen printing carries setup work per color, so its pricing rewards quantity; when a small run would quote badly under one method, we say so and route it to a better one.
It depends on the garment, the art, and the count. The quote is the whole price: blank, decoration, and shipping included.
Pricing moves with three things: the blank you pick, the complexity of the art, and how many you order. Rather than publish a grid that misses your project, we quote each job straight. Every quote is the complete number, with the garment, the decoration, and shipping included, so there is no fee appearing after you approve.
Mockups inside 48 hours. Production time depends on method and quantity, and we commit to a date before you approve.
The design side is fast: free mockups inside 48 hours of your first text. Production time depends on the method, the quantity, and the calendar, so we scope it per job and put a date on the quote before you approve anything. If you are printing for an event, tell us the date first and we will work backward from it, honestly.
Yes. Send a sketch, an old shirt, or an idea, and we will make it print-ready and show you a free mockup.
Most projects start without print-ready files. Send whatever you have: a sketch, a photo of an old shirt, a screenshot, or a sentence describing the idea. We turn it into production-ready art and send a free mockup inside 48 hours, and nothing is produced until you have approved exactly what it will look like.
Yes. Totes, towels, blankets, headwear, and event merch, quoted the same way as apparel: one number, shipping included.
Yes. The giveaway table is part of the job: totes, towels, blankets, beanies, and the branded pieces that go home with people after a grand opening, a tournament, or a graduation. One contact handles the whole order, apparel and promo together, and it all lands on one quote.
