- — 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 Arlington
Why Arlington orders look the way they do
Arlington runs two economies at once and both of them buy shirts. There is the professional layer — government contractors, consultancies, and the tech employers concentrated around National Landing and Ballston — ordering onboarding apparel, hackathon tees and conference merch. And there is the neighborhood layer: civic associations, youth sports, school groups and the restaurants along Clarendon and Columbia Pike.
The professional orders tend to be time-boxed and brand-controlled. A team offsite has a date, a marketing lead has a brand guide, and the shirt has to match the deck. The neighborhood orders are more forgiving on brand but tighter on budget, and they repeat every year, which makes screen printing the right economics — the setup gets amortized once and reorders skip it entirely when the art is unchanged.
We print in College Park and ship across the river. There is no showroom to visit in Clarendon, which spares everyone the parking.

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 Arlington actually orders
Tech teams & startups
Launch tees, hackathon shirts and offsite apparel around Ballston and National Landing. Usually one or two colors on a soft retail-fit garment, which screen prints cheaply and wears well enough that people keep it.
Government contractors
Onboarding kits, team apparel and conference booth staff shirts. Brand guides are enforced here, so send PMS values and we will mix to them rather than eyeballing a match.
Civic & neighborhood associations
Cleanup day tees, block party shirts and volunteer apparel. Repeat annual orders where the art barely changes — exactly the case where screen printing setup pays for itself.
Youth sports & school teams
League jerseys, spirit wear and tournament shirts. A shared crest across multiple teams is one setup, not one per team, which is where most of the savings hide.
Nonprofits & advocacy groups
Fundraiser tees, 5K shirts and volunteer apparel. Twelve-piece minimum with one-color pricing keeps the shirts from consuming the event budget.
Restaurants & local business
Staff tees and embroidered work shirts along Clarendon, Shirlington and Columbia Pike. The brief is always the same: make year three match year one.
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.
