Screen Printing & Embroidery for Durham, NC
Our closest metro — about 30 minutes from the shop, which means hand delivery, garment samples both directions, and none of the Triangle's overhead in your price.
Durham is the closest metro to our shop — about a half-hour up the road from Leasburg. Close enough that a rush order can go in the car instead of a box, and far enough outside the city that our pricing does not carry Durham commercial rent inside it.
We run screen printing and full-color DTF and 12-color embroidery on our own equipment, for Durham, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, and the rest of the Triangle's western side. One all-inclusive price, no setup or digitizing fees, and a digital proof back in one business day.
Why proximity matters more here than anywhere else we serve
Durham is the one market where being close changes what we can promise.
Hand delivery is realistic
A 30-minute drive means a Friday-afternoon emergency is sometimes still fixable. That is not true of a shop shipping to you from three states away, and it is not true of us in Raleigh either.
Samples both directions
You can get a garment sample in hand before committing to 200 of them, or send us the shirt you liked from three years ago so we can match it.
No Triangle overhead in the price
All-inclusive quotes from a shop with no storefront and no downtown lease. You are paying for garments and decoration, not square footage.
Press time when you need it
We are not absorbing a university's spirit-wear calendar, so your 60-piece order is not waiting behind a 3,000-piece one.
What we decorate for Durham and Chapel Hill
- Restaurants, breweries, and coffee shops — staff shirts that match the brand, plus retail pieces customers will actually buy rather than politely accept.
- Startups and small tech teams — embroidered quarter-zips and soft-hand printed tees for onboarding kits and conference booths, usually in small repeat batches.
- Trades and home services — embroidered work shirts and hi-vis for crews working Durham, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough neighborhoods.
- Healthcare and dental practices — consistent stitched logos across scrubs, polos, and jackets, reordered as staff change.
- Nonprofits and community groups — volunteer, fundraiser, and 5K shirts with a fixed in-hand date and a budget that has to hold.
- Youth sports and rec leagues — full size ranges from YS to adult 3XL in one order, delivered before opening day.

Questions from Durham customers
How close are you to Durham?
About 30 minutes. Durham is the nearest metro to our shop, which is why hand delivery is normal here rather than an exception, and why a tight deadline is worth asking about instead of assuming.
Can you deliver to Chapel Hill and Hillsborough too?
Yes. Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough are all inside the delivery radius, along with Durham itself. We ship nationwide for everything further out.
Do you take small orders?
Yes. DTF is built for short runs down to a handful of pieces, and screen printing becomes more cost-effective as quantity rises. Small repeat batches for a growing team are welcome.
Can I see a garment before ordering 200?
That is exactly what being 30 minutes away is good for. We can get a blank sample to you, or you can send us a shirt you already like and we will match the garment and the decoration.
How much lead time do you need?
Proof in one business day, then roughly 7–10 business days of production after approval. Rush timelines are sometimes possible for Durham specifically because of the drive — ask.
Do you do embroidery on hats and jackets?
Yes, on 12-color commercial equipment, with no digitizing fee. Caps, polos, quarter-zips, jackets, and bags are all routine.
