Answers to common questions about screen printing, embroidery, DTF, engraving, and promotional products in Mesa and the greater Phoenix area.
Pricing for custom t-shirt printing in Mesa and the greater Phoenix area depends on quantity, print or embroidery method, number of colors, and garment type. Screen printing is the most cost-effective option for bulk orders, while DTF printing is ideal for smaller runs or full-color designs. Most orders range from $10–$20 per shirt, depending on specifications. We’re happy to provide a custom quote based on your project.
Our minimum for screen printing is 24 pieces due to setup requirements. Embroidery has a lower minimum of 12 pieces, making it perfect for hats, polos, and small branded orders. For smaller runs, we offer DTF printing, which allows flexible quantities with no large minimums.
