Screen printing, embroidery, or heat transfer: which fits your uniforms?
Most uniform programs mix methods: embroidered polos for the front of house, screen printed tees for the crew, and vinyl names on both.

| Best for | Crew tees, hi-vis, event shirts, bulk runs | Polos, hats, jackets, aprons, customer-facing staff | Employee names, numbers, titles, small personalized runs |
| Minimum | 36 pieces | 24 pieces | 6 pieces |
| Setup | Included in the per-piece price, one screen per ink color; reorders carry no setup and price lower | $45.00 digitizing, saved forever for reorders | $20.00 per vinyl color per location; names quoted per piece |

Screen setup is built into the per-piece price: one screen per ink color, plus one more for the white underbase on dark garments, spread across your run, so there is no separate setup line. More colors mean more screens, which is why color count moves the per-piece price and why the same design prices lower on a bigger run. Runs of 24 pieces or fewer also carry film and press setup, included the same way. We keep your artwork on file, so reorders are quick, and a repeat of the same design carries no setup, so it prices lower per piece.
Range shown is a 1-color to 3-color print, one location, with the screens already included. Each additional location is priced separately.
Prices exclude CA sales tax (10.5%), which applies to the blank garment only.
