T-shirts · Carmel, Hamilton County

For t-shirts specifically: best for single designs printed in one or a handful of ink colors, at quantities from a dozen to several thousand. If you need a photograph or a gradient reproduced in full color, look at DTG or DTF instead.

FAQ
Screen printing pricing steps down noticeably at 12, 24, 48, and 100+ units because the shop's setup cost (creating the screens) gets divided across the run. Below about 12 shirts, most Indianapolis shops will either charge a flat setup fee or push you toward DTF/DTG instead, which have no screen setup at all.
Standard turnaround for most Indy shops is 5-10 business days from art approval, not from the date you first inquire. Several local shops offer rush service (24-72 hours) for an added fee — worth asking about directly if you're on a deadline for an event.
Most Indianapolis print and embroidery shops offer basic design help or vectorization of a rough logo for a small fee or for free with a qualifying order size. If you're starting from nothing, say so up front — it changes which shop is the best fit.
