T-Shirt Printing
We specialize in screen printing on t-shirts using 100% cotton garments for optimal results. Our process includes color matching, custom artwork preparation, and multiple print location options. Clients can choose from budget-friendly Gildan 5000 shirts to premium union-made Dignity Apparel. White underlay is applied for dark garments to ensure vibrant colors. Pricing varies by quantity and complexity, with volume discounts available for bulk orders.
Patch Printing
Our punk-style canvas patches feature sharp detailing and precision cutting. Available in various sizes with single-color printing, they include free setup and shipping. Uncut sheet options reduce costs for DIY applications. Maximum print area reaches 12x16 inches for back patches. We use medium-weight duck canvas in black, white, or natural colors, with bulk quantity discounts for large orders of 50+ patches.
Hat Printing
We print on Otto brand trucker hats using a two-step process that ensures durability and accuracy. The maximum print area accommodates 4.5x2.5 inch designs. Our in-house screen printing uses the same high-quality inks as apparel printing. Orders start at 24 hats with volume pricing, and we provide templates for artwork submission to streamline production.
Merch Packages
Curated merchandise packages combine shirts, buttons, and patches at discounted rates. Options include starter packs for emerging artists and bulk bundles for established acts. All packages include free setup and shipping. Sizes range from 25 to 100 shirts with coordinating promotional items to help bands maintain consistent branding across their merchandise inventory.
Artwork Services
We handle color separations and artwork optimization in-house to ensure print readiness. Vector tracing services refine low-quality images for proper reproduction. Clients receive proofs for approval before production. Our team provides technical guidance for file preparation, emphasizing 300dpi resolution and proper sizing to prevent quality issues during the screen printing process.
