Common Questions

Screen Printing FAQ - Downey

Answers to the most common questions about screen printing for Downey businesses and organizations.

Where can I get custom screen printing near Downey, CA?

French Press Custom is located at 14130 Rosecrans Ave, Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670 - just 12 minutes from Downey. We serve businesses, schools, teams, and organizations throughout the Gateway Cities region with professional screen printing on t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, and more. Free local delivery available on qualifying orders.

How much does screen printing cost for Downey orders?

Screen printing pricing depends on quantity, number of ink colors, and garment type. For Downey orders, the print itself runs about $8.00 per shirt for a 1-color front at 24 pieces, about $3.20 at 100+, and about $1.92 at 450+, plus the blank garment. One-time screen setup is $25.00 per color on runs of 24 pieces or fewer and is waived on larger runs. We offer free quotes with exact pricing - no hidden fees.

How long does screen printing take?

Turnaround depends on order size, decoration complexity, and our current production schedule - most jobs run on a 7-10 business day timeline from proof approval. Rush production may be available case-by-case. We always provide a target ship date with your quote.

What garments can be screen printed?

We screen print on t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, long sleeves, tank tops, polos, jackets, tote bags, and more. We carry 50+ premium blank brands including Bella+Canvas, Comfort Colors, Next Level, Gildan, Independent Trading Co., and Champion. Cotton and cotton-blend fabrics work best for screen printing.

What is the minimum order for screen printing?

Our minimum order for screen printing is 24 pieces per design. This keeps pricing affordable since screen printing involves creating physical screens for each ink color. For smaller quantities (1-23 pieces), we recommend DTG (direct-to-garment) printing which has no minimums and no setup fees.

Can you rush screen printing in Downey?

Yes. Rush windows by method: screen printing and embroidery in 3-5 days, DTG and DTF in 2-3 days, heat transfer vinyl in 24-48 hours, quoted per project. Pickup in Santa Fe Springs as soon as the job is done, or local delivery to Downey. See our rush printing page for details.
