Ever wonder how screen printing actually works? 👕🎨

Every color in a design is separated and burned onto its own screen. Then, each screen is carefully lined up and printed one color at a time onto the shirt.

It’s a little more involved than hitting “print” and that’s why screen printing has minimums. But the payoff? A high-quality print that’s built to last, wash after wash. And for larger orders, screen printing is typically the most economical option. 💵

Only need a few shirts? That’s where DTF (Direct-to-Film) comes in! 🖨️ Digitally printed transfers are a great option for smaller quantities, especially when your artwork is full color or has lots of detail.

So when you ask, “How much are shirts?”... there’s no one-size-fits-all answer! We need to know what you’re printing and how many you need before we can give you an accurate price.

Not sure which printing method is right for you? Reach out! We’ll help you navigate the options and find the best way to bring your apparel vision to life. ✨

100 degrees in the shop hasn’t made things easy these past few weeks, but we’ve powered through it! 🥵💪

And through all the heat, sweat, ink, thread, and the constant “I NEED A WATER BREAK” moments… we’re still incredibly grateful for our clients. 🙏🏼

We don’t just see you as customers. We see you as fellow humans, each with your own stories, struggles, wins, and everything in between. Being trusted to be even a small part of your journey means SO MUCH to us.

Without you, this little shop would be nothing.

So just know that when you walk through our doors, we are genuinely happy to see you. We’re grateful that you chose our little shop, grateful that you trust us with your projects, and grateful that you continue to keep us busy doing what we love.

And honestly, one of our favorite things in the world is when a client leaves asking for hugs — because it means we didn’t just complete an order, we actually connected.❤️

Thank you for supporting our small business, putting up with our quirks, and keeping the presses running. ❤️ We love you!

All the pretty colors ❤️🩵💜🧡💚

Watch this logo come to life with chameleon HTV. Is it blue? Is it purple? It's both!
And we added a little dimensional detail on the sleeve. It's the little things that make something truly unique 😍
