- — 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 Silver Spring
Why Silver Spring orders look the way they do
Silver Spring orders apparel for a different reason than downtown DC does. Less conference, more community. The volume here comes from youth sports leagues, church congregations, county-adjacent nonprofits, health organizations clustered around White Oak, and small businesses along Georgia Avenue and Fenton Street that have been in the same storefront for twenty years.
Those orders share a shape: modest quantities, repeated on a schedule, with a design that barely changes year to year. A soccer league orders the same crest in a new season color. A congregation reprints the youth group shirt every summer. That is exactly what screen printing is good at — the setup cost gets amortized across the run, and once the art is on file the reorder skips the setup entirely if the size and colors stay put.
We are in College Park, which is close enough that most Silver Spring orders reach their destination the day after they leave the shop. There is no storefront to visit — we work by phone, email and digital proof.

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 Silver Spring actually orders
Youth sports & rec leagues
Season jerseys, coach polos and tournament tees for Montgomery County leagues. Numbers and player names are handled per-shirt; the crest stays on one screen so next season costs less than this one.
Churches & congregations
Youth group shirts, VBS tees, mission trip apparel and usher polos. Most congregations reorder annually, so we document the ink colors and garment style to keep year two matching year one.
Nonprofits & community orgs
Volunteer shirts, food drive tees, neighborhood cleanup apparel. One-color prints on a twelve-piece minimum keep the per-shirt cost where a grant budget can absorb it.
Schools, PTAs & student groups
Spirit wear, club shirts, field trip tees and staff appreciation apparel. We will work to a PTA budget number and tell you what quantity gets you there instead of quoting one price and hoping.
Small business & trades
Embroidered work shirts and screen-printed crew tees for contractors, salons, landscapers and restaurants along Georgia Avenue and Fenton Street. Reorder consistency is the whole job.
Health & research organizations
Staff apparel, health fair volunteer tees and event shirts for the organizations clustered near White Oak. Embroidered polos when the shirt needs to read professional rather than promotional.
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.
$35Art change fee, if the design moves after approval.
