Choosing a Printer
The right production setup depends on the order.
Detroit has many custom T-shirt printing options. The right fit depends on the order itself: quantity, garment, artwork, decoration method, deadline and quality expectations.
First Brothers produces apparel from its Trenton shop for businesses, organizations, events and brands throughout Detroit and Metro Detroit. We organize the garment, artwork and production requirements around the scale and purpose of each order.
