Services

Everything we do, under one roof in La Mesa

Embroidery, screen printing, promotional gear, digitizing and rush work — all handled at our own shop, which is why the schedule is ours to control.

Five Services

Pick the one that fits the job

Not sure which? Call the shop and describe what you need — you will get an honest recommendation, including when the cheaper option is the right one.

Custom Embroidery

Your logo, stitched in thread that outlasts the garment. Embroidery is what we were built on, and it is still the thing we are best at.

Screen Printing

Big graphics, big runs, bright colour. When the artwork needs to fill the front of the shirt, printing is the right tool.

Promotional & Team Gear

The hat, the bag, the jacket, the giveaway. Everything that puts your name in front of a crowd and keeps it there.

Logo Digitizing & Artwork

The step nobody sees, and the only reason good embroidery looks good. Your logo has to be rebuilt as stitches before a machine can sew it.
