Why We Screen Print Everything In-House

A lot of people find us online and assume we're a clothing store. We're not. We don't sell blank shirts. We're a custom print shop, and every order we take is printed for you, in our own shop, on our own presses.

What "in-house" actually means

Plenty of companies take your order and send it out to whoever's cheapest that week, sometimes overseas. We don't. Your artwork, your shirts and your print run all stay with us from start to finish.

Why it matters for your order

Quality you can count on

We print on premium blanks from brands like Bella+Canvas, Gildan, District, Next Level and Carhartt, with premium inks. Because we're the ones running the press, we see every print before it ships.

Honest pricing

No middleman markup, and no screen fees or setup fees. You can see your price instantly with our Instant Price tool.

Predictable turnaround

We control the schedule, so we can tell you when your order will be ready: about 2 weeks standard, or about 1 week with rush (+15%).

A real person on the other end

Questions about your art, sizes or a deadline? You talk to the people actually printing your order, Monday through Friday, 10am to 4pm, at 563-239-9121.

We print for teams, businesses, schools, booster clubs, events and fundraisers, and we ship anywhere in the US.
