A printer that answers, not a checkout that guesses
An online bulk uploader

- — No proof, or a proof you cannot change
- — Color "close enough" to your brand guide
- — Support is a ticket queue in another time zone
- — Reorder next year does not match this year
Boring Tees
- — A human reviews your art before quoting it
- — Digital proof, revised until you approve it
- — Pantone matched to your actual brand values
- — 786-302-9144 reaches someone who knows your job
- — Artwork, inks and garments documented for the reorder
- — We will point you to the cheaper method, even when it earns us less
02 — Serving Alexandria
Why Alexandria orders look the way they do
Alexandria is the most retail-facing market we serve, and that changes what the apparel has to do. In Old Town and Del Ray a shirt is frequently merchandise — something a visitor buys, not something a company hands out. It has to survive being looked at closely on a rack and priced against a shop next door doing the same thing.
That pushes the work toward quality of print rather than lowest unit cost. A soft retail-fit garment with a clean two-color print will sell; a boxy heavyweight tee with a cracked plastisol slab will sit. We steer merchandise orders toward retail-weight blanks from Bella+Canvas or Next Level and toward print methods that stay soft on the hand, because the shirt is the product rather than the packaging.
The other half of Alexandria is ordinary and steady: restaurant staff shirts, church and school groups, rowing and youth sports clubs on the waterfront, and the trades working out of Eisenhower Valley and Alexandria West. Those want consistency and a printer who picks up the phone.

03 — How it works
Four steps. You do two of them.
Turnaround is measured from proof approval, not from your first email — which means getting final artwork to us early is the single biggest thing you control.
- 01
Tell us what you need
Quantity, garment, artwork and your date. If you do not know which print method fits, say so — recommending one is part of the quote, not an upsell.
- 02
You get a real quote
A written number, broken out so you can see what the garments cost, what the setup costs and what each print location adds. Not a range, and not "starting at."
- 03
Approve the digital proof
We send a proof showing exact placement, dimensions and colors on the garment color you picked. Nothing goes to press until you sign off. The production clock starts here.
- 04
It prints and ships to you
Screen printing and embroidery run 10–14 business days, DTF 5–7. A 5-day rush is available for 20% more. Shipping is quoted with the job, not tacked on at the end.
04 — Who we print for
Built for how Alexandria actually orders
Retail & merchandise
Shirts that get sold rather than given away. Retail-fit blanks and a soft hand on the print, because in an Old Town shop the garment competes on a rack instead of arriving in a swag bag.
Restaurants & hospitality
Front-of-house tees and back-of-house work shirts across Old Town, Del Ray and the waterfront. Consistent reorders in a matching colorway are the whole requirement.
Churches & faith communities
Youth group shirts, mission trip apparel, volunteer and usher polos. Predictable annual reorders where keeping year two matching year one is the actual value.
Rowing, running & youth sports
Club apparel, regatta and race shirts, team warmups. Performance fabrics require different ink and cure handling than cotton, so name the garment when you ask for a quote.
Schools & PTAs
Spirit wear, fundraiser shirts, field day tees and staff appreciation apparel. We will quote to a budget number and tell you what quantity reaches it.
Trades & service business
Embroidered work shirts, caps and hi-vis for contractors and service crews out of Eisenhower Valley and Alexandria West. Stitching survives a work week that printing does not.
05 — Methods
Three ways to put your logo on a garment
Screen Printing
14" × 17" max imprint · 10–14 business days
Ink pushed through a stencil, one screen per color. Cheapest per piece at volume on one- and two-color designs, and the most durable finish we offer. Setup is charged per color per location.
More on Screen Printing→Embroidery
Digitized once per logo · 10–14 business days
Stitched directly into the garment. The right choice for polos, quarter-zips, caps and anything worn to work — it survives industrial laundering that would crack a print. Cannot render gradients or hairline type.
More on Embroidery→DTF Printing
13" × 19" max imprint · 5–7 business days
Full-color transfer heat-pressed onto the garment. No per-color setup, so photographs, gradients and complex artwork cost the same as a one-color logo. Usually the cheapest option under 100 pieces.
More on DTF Printing→06 — What drives your price
No per-shirt price list, because it would be a lie
Anyone quoting you a flat per-shirt number before seeing your artwork is guessing, and the guess is usually low. Four things set the price, and we will show you all four broken out on your quote.
- Quantity
- Setup is a fixed cost spread across the run, so the per-piece price falls sharply as the order grows. Minimum is 12 pieces, mixed across sizes.
- Ink colors
- Screen printing charges a setup per color per location. DTF charges none — which is why full-color designs often come out cheaper as DTF below about 100 pieces.
- Print locations
- Front, back and sleeve are three locations, each its own setup and press pass. The same artwork reused at the same size and colors is charged setup once, not three times.
- Garment
- The blank is often the largest line on the invoice, especially on fleece and outerwear. We will show you two or three options at different price points rather than picking for you.
12 piecesMinimum order, mixed freely across sizes.
+20%5-business-day rush, when the calendar requires it.
