Screen Printing

Crafting Dreams, Forging Reality
SOUND FAMILIAR?

MOST SCREEN PRINTERS
GET IT WRONG.

Colors that don't match your logo. Prints that crack after three washes. Scratchy blanks nobody wants to wear. You paid for branded apparel, crossed your fingers, and ended up with walking evidence that you cut corners. We've seen this story hundreds of times — customers come to us after getting burned somewhere else and paying twice.

THE CSI WAY

WE MIX EVERY COLOR BY HAND. BECAUSE IT’S THE ONLY WAY.

In-house Pantone mixing. Hand inspection on every single piece. Premium blanks that hold their shape and color after a year of daily wear. We're obsessed with the details other print shops skip — and after 30 years, we're really good at it. Your brand is on every shirt. We treat it that way.

What We print

SCREEN PRINTING DONE THE RIGHT WAY.

From single-color staff tees to complex multi-color retail runs — every level of difficulty, zero corners cut.

Custom Apparel Printing

Staff uniforms, event tees, retail merch — printed on premium blanks people actually want to wear. Not the scratchy stuff that ends up in the donation bin.

Pantone Color Matching

Metallic, puff, vintage, water-based, and glow-in-the-dark. The technical work that makes other shops nervous is exactly where we thrive.

Specialty & Novelty Inks

Every color mixed by hand in our color lab. Your navy is always the same navy. Order #1 and order #50 are identical. No "close enough."

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about screen printing? We've been doing this for 30 years. Here are the answers to what people ask us most.
What's your minimum order quantity?

Most screen printing orders start around 24 pieces, but we can work with you depending on your project. The more you order, the better the per-piece pricing gets. Call us and let's talk about what you need.

How long does screen printing take?

Standard turnaround is about two weeks from when you approve the design. Need it faster? We offer rush services. We set realistic timelines and actually hit them.

What file formats do you need for artwork?

Vector files work best (AI, EPS, PDF). High-resolution PNG or JPG works too. If your file isn't perfect, we'll help clean it up or recreate it. We review every design before printing to make sure it'll look good.

Can you match my exact brand colors?

Yes. We mix Pantone colors in-house to match your brand standards precisely. Send us your Pantone numbers or a sample and we'll nail it. Your navy will always be the same navy, not "close enough."
