Services
Screen Printing
Specializing in spot color, simulated process, and water-based screen printing techniques. Our Charlotte facility uses plastisol inks matched to Pantone standards for vibrant, durable prints. Simulated process achieves photorealistic detail while water-based inks offer vintage softness through fabric discharge. With 20+ years of experience handling complex designs, we guarantee professional results for custom apparel needs.
Embroidery
Full-service embroidery with in-house digitization capabilities. From simple logos to intricate designs, our automated machines produce precise stitching on various garments. As Charlotte's most experienced embroidery shop, we maintain quality control through dedicated digitizers who optimize designs for optimal thread coverage and durability in every embroidered piece.
Digital Printing
Offering direct-to-garment (DTG) and digital hybrid printing solutions. DTG allows for detailed photographic prints while hybrid technology combines digital and screen printing advantages. This method reduces setup costs for complex designs, making it ideal for small runs and specialty projects requiring high detail without traditional screen printing limitations.
Custom T-Shirts
Creating custom apparel using premium garments from brands like AS Colour and Sport-Tek. Services include printing, embroidery, and hybrid techniques on t-shirts, hoodies, and performance wear. Our online design tool simplifies customization while maintaining quality control through in-house production, ensuring consistent results across all decorated merchandise.
Water-Based Printing
Specialized water-based/discharge printing technique that removes fabric dye before re-dyeing with soft inks. This creates vintage-look prints that feel like the original garment. The process requires precise chemical control and expertise, which our experienced team maintains to deliver subtle, long-lasting prints with exceptional softness and durability.
