Custom apparel Mesa customers order most
Every category opens a catalog of blank garments. Choose a style, pick a decoration method, upload your art and we take it from there. Mesa orders can be picked up at the shop or delivered.
Close to every part of Mesa
Mesa is the third-largest city in Arizona and there is no single center to it, so we built our process around not needing you to drive in. Quotes, artwork and proof approval happen by email. Pickup at the Tempe shop is a straight shot on the Loop 202 from north Mesa and on US-60 from central and east Mesa, and we deliver larger orders to Mesa businesses and schools.

Four ways we decorate shirts, and when to use each
All four run under one roof, so we recommend based on your garment, artwork and quantity rather than on which machine we happen to own.
| Method | Best for | Sweet spot | Durability | Color and detail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Screen printingPlastisol and water-based inks | School spirit tees, league shirts, event and fundraiser runs with 1 to 6 spot colors | 24 pieces and up; per-shirt cost drops fast with quantity | Highest on cotton | Bold, opaque color; exact Pantone matching |
| EmbroideryDigitized thread logos | Work polos, caps, jackets, restaurant and office uniforms | Any quantity, including single pieces | Outlasts the garment | Clean logos and text; fine detail limited by stitch size |
| DTF transferDirect-to-film heat transfer | Full-color art on polyester, performance and mixed fabrics; team names and numbers | 1 to a few hundred pieces; mixed sizes and colors in one run | Strong, flexible | Unlimited colors, gradients and photos |
| DTG printingDirect-to-garment inkjet | Photo-quality art on cotton tees, small brand drops and one-offs | 1 to 50 pieces | Softest hand; fades gently over many washes | Unlimited colors, soft feel, best on light cotton |
Details on inks, thread counts and file prep are on printing we offer.
Worth the drive from Mesa: a real showroom
Most online shirt printers are a website and a warehouse. We keep a showroom stocked with decorated samples so Mesa customers can compare fabric weight, fit and how each decoration method looks on real garments before committing to a bulk order.
- Racks of polos, tees, hoodies and quarter-zips in the brands we print on
- Leather patch, rope, trucker and structured cap samples
- Thread and ink swatches to match school or company colors
- Sizing sets so a team or staff can try on before you order

Match the shirts with branded gear
Most Mesa orders that start with shirts end up adding caps, drinkware or bags in the same logo. We source and decorate all of it, so one proof covers the whole set.
Picking a shirt that survives a Mesa summer
Fabric choice matters more here than in most of the country. This is what we tell Mesa customers before they order.
Outdoor crews: performance polyester
Moisture-wicking poly or poly-blend tees keep landscaping, roofing and construction crews cooler than cotton. Polyester rejects standard DTG ink, so we decorate it with DTF, embroidery or specialty screen inks.
Schools and events: cotton or 50/50
A midweight cotton or cotton-poly tee is the best value for spirit wear and one-day events. It takes screen printing cleanly and the blend version shrinks less after repeated washing.
Uniforms: embroidered performance polos
For restaurant, office and service staff, a wicking polo with an embroidered logo looks professional, stays cooler than pique cotton and keeps its shape through hundreds of washes.
Light colors and long sleeves
Light garment colors reflect heat, and a lightweight long sleeve protects arms on job sites better than a tee. Both print well with DTF and embroidery.
Artwork
Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF) print cleanest. A JPG or PNG is fine to start; our art department recreates most logos and you approve a proof before production.

Questions from Mesa customers
Where are you relative to Mesa?
Our shop is at 1715 W 4th St in Tempe, just west of the Mesa city line near Priest Dr and the Loop 202. From downtown Mesa it is about 15 minutes via US-60 or the 202; from Red Mountain and Las Sendas take the 202 west; from Eastmark and Gateway take US-60 west.
Do you deliver to Mesa?
Yes. Larger orders for Mesa schools, businesses and organizations can be delivered. Smaller orders can be picked up at the shop or shipped. Ask when you request a quote and we will include it.
What is the minimum order?
Embroidery, DTF and DTG have no minimum. Screen printing is priced for runs of 12 or more and becomes the most economical option around 24 pieces and up.
Can you match our school or team colors?
Yes. Screen printing inks are mixed to Pantone, and embroidery threads are matched from swatch books in the showroom. Send the Pantone or a sample garment and we match to it on the proof.
How fast can you turn around a Mesa order?
Standard production is typically within two weeks of proof approval and blank arrival. Rush options exist; call 480-967-7015 with your in-hands date and we will confirm what is possible.
Can one order mix sizes, youth and adult, and men's and women's cuts?
Yes. Most styles come in youth, adult, women's and tall cuts of the same garment, so a school or team order matches while everyone gets the right fit. Screen printing needs the same ink colors across the run; DTF, DTG and embroidery can also mix garment colors.
