Screen Printing in Flagstaff AZ, Done on Beaver Street

Custom shirts Flagstaff crews, outfitters and event teams can count on. Multi-color screen printing on tees, hoodies and long sleeves, run on our own press floor.

The Press Floor Is Right in Town

When you search screen printing Flagstaff AZ, you are really asking who will stand behind a run of two hundred hoodies. Ours are printed at 2 S Beaver St, Suite 141. If a color looks off, a person who watched it print can look at the shirt with you.

We do multi-color spot work, halftones and photographic detail, and specialty inks like metallic, puff and glow. Tim sets the schedule and Sarah handles artwork, so the same two people see your job from the first email to pickup.

Garments That Hold Up at Altitude

Flagstaff weather decides a lot about what to print on.

Heavy Fleece Hoodies

With about 90 inches of snow a year, a hoodie is a daily jacket. Go up a size if your crew layers, and keep large prints off the pocket seam.

Long Sleeves

A long sleeve tee is the shoulder season workhorse for spring trail days and fall harvest weekends.

Everyday Tees

Summer visitors and monsoon afternoons both call for a soft cotton tee that takes ink cleanly and keeps its color in the wash.

Tanks and Totes

Race crews and farmers market stands use tanks in the warm months and printed totes that double as giveaways.

Hats and Polos

Printed hats and polos fill gaps on crews that want a logo but not a stitched one. Ask us whether print or thread is the better fit for yours.

Decision Rules for Picking Ink and Placement

One colorA single ink on a bright garment reads clearly across a job site or a trailhead parking lot. It is also the easiest design to reorder.
Dark garmentsForest green, charcoal and navy are the staples for winter. A white underbase makes your colors pop on them, so ask for it when the art is bright.
Photographic artHalftone or simulated process is the route for a photo of Lowell Observatory's dome or a trail map. It needs a tighter file, which Sarah can prepare.
Specialty inksPuff and metallic look good on festival merch. Glow ink suits a dark-sky themed run for a night event.
Back printFor hoodies, put the big design on the back and a small mark on the left chest so the front stays clean under a jacket.

A Typical Spring Order for a Trail Crew

Picture a trail maintenance group planning for summer in the forest around Walnut Canyon and Fort Tuthill. They need a few dozen long sleeve tees in a color that hides trail dust, with a one color logo on the chest and a bigger one on the back.

They email a photo of last year's shirt, we quote it, and they approve. The proof arrives by email, they sign off, and the run goes on the press. Pickup is on Beaver Street, and a reorder next year starts from the details we kept.

What the 24 Piece Minimum Means Here

Screen printing starts at 24 pieces because each color needs its own screen, and the setup is worth spreading across a real run. Most Flagstaff groups clear that easily. A restaurant crew, a high school booster club or a department of a university can get to two dozen without trying.

If your count is smaller and your design is full color, look at our heat press and DTF page before you commit to a screen print. Sometimes a transfer is simply the better tool.

Planning Backward From Your Date

  1. Pick the Hard DateA game, a festival weekend, the first snow or a crew start date. Tell us what it is and we count back.
  2. Approve the QuoteOnce the quote and garment are settled, we send a proof by email. Winter storms can slow the roads but proofs travel fine.
  3. Leave the Production WindowCount about 10 to 12 business days from the day you sign off on the proof.
  4. Collect on BeaverWalk in during shop hours and pick up your boxes for free.

Screen Printing Flagstaff Questions

How many shirts do I need for screen printing in Flagstaff?

The minimum is 24 pieces. That floor exists because screens and setup are the same whether you print 24 or 240, so bigger counts bring the cost per piece down.

Which hoodies hold a print best?

A heavyweight fleece takes a large back print well. Avoid printing across seams or over the pocket, where ink sits unevenly.

Can you match my brand color?

We mix inks to match as closely as the process allows, and the proof shows what will run. Tell us if you have a color reference from a brand guide.

Can I print on garments I bring in?

We source and stock the garments for your order so we can stand behind the result, so plan on us supplying them.

Do you handle glow, puff and metallic ink?

Yes. They suit festival merch, event shirts and anything that needs to stand out on a shelf.

What if my art is a low-res photo?

Sarah can clean up, recreate or vectorize it. That work is quoted as its own line, priced by the job, before anything is approved.

When do I see the proof?

After you approve the order. A production proof is emailed, and nothing runs on the press until you sign off on it.
