What We Print

Apparel orders, kept organized.

Apparel orders get messy when the specs, sizes, artwork, packing, and delivery plan are handled too late. We keep the order organized before production starts, so the finished goods arrive ready to hand out, stock, ship, or put to work.

What is your minimum order?+

Do you offer pickup or delivery?+

We offer pickup from our Trenton shop, or delivery to you via UPS.

Can you help with a tight deadline?+

Ask — we'll tell you honestly whether we can hit your date.
