Bulk Custom T Shirts Melville

Everything You Need for Custom Apparel

Beyond basic t shirt printing, you get access to a full range of custom apparel options. Custom hoodies and sweatshirts for cooler weather, embroidered polos for professional settings, and promotional items like hats and mugs to complete your branding needs.

Melville businesses appreciate having multiple options under one roof. Instead of coordinating with different vendors for different products, you can handle everything from employee uniforms to promotional giveaways in one place. This matters when you’re planning events, launching campaigns, or outfitting teams.

Rush t shirt printing is available when deadlines get tight. We understand that sometimes you need custom apparel fast—for last-minute events, unexpected opportunities, or urgent replacements. Our local facility and streamlined processes make quick turnarounds possible without compromising quality.

What's the minimum order for custom t shirt printing in Melville?

There’s no minimum order requirement at L1 Print. You can order a single custom t shirt or hundreds—the choice is yours based on what you actually need. This policy exists because we understand that not every project requires bulk quantities. Maybe you need a few shirts for key employees, a single custom piece for a special occasion, or you want to test a design before placing a larger order. Other printing companies force minimums that leave you with excess inventory and wasted money. The no-minimum approach also makes sense for Melville businesses that need flexibility. You can start small and reorder as needed, rather than committing to large quantities upfront.
Standard turnaround time is typically 5-7 business days for most custom t shirt orders. Rush printing is available when you need shirts faster—sometimes as quick as same-day or next-day service depending on the complexity and quantity. The actual timeline depends on several factors: the printing method (screen printing vs. DTG), design complexity, shirt colors, and current production schedule. We provide realistic timelines upfront so you can plan accordingly. Being located in Ronkonkoma means faster delivery to Melville compared to out-of-state printing companies. You’re not waiting for shipping from distant facilities or dealing with potential delays from weather or logistics issues that affect national providers.
Screen printing works best for simple designs with solid colors, especially for larger quantities. It produces vibrant, durable prints that withstand frequent washing and wear. This method is ideal for team shirts, employee uniforms, and promotional apparel where you need consistent results across multiple pieces. DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing excels with detailed designs, photographs, or artwork with multiple colors and gradients. It’s perfect for smaller quantities or one-off custom pieces where you want photo-quality results. DTG also works well for designs with fine text or intricate details that screen printing can’t capture. Embroidery creates the most professional appearance for polos, hats, and business apparel. It’s durable, looks upscale, and works particularly well for logos and text-based designs. Many Melville businesses choose embroidery for employee uniforms and corporate apparel because it projects a polished, professional image.
Yes, we provide design assistance throughout the process. Whether you have a rough concept, existing logo, or no idea where to start, we help create designs that work well with your chosen printing method and look professional on the finished product. Design support includes optimizing artwork for printing, suggesting color combinations that work with your shirt choices, and ensuring text remains readable at the final size. We understand how different printing methods affect design appearance and can adjust artwork accordingly. This service is particularly valuable for Melville businesses that need custom apparel but don’t have in-house design resources. Instead of hiring a separate designer or struggling with DIY design software, you get professional design support as part of the printing service.
We handle a wide range of custom apparel beyond basic t-shirts. This includes custom hoodies and sweatshirts, polo shirts, tank tops, long-sleeve shirts, and performance wear for athletic applications. We also customize hats, bags, and promotional items like mugs and other branded merchandise. The shirt selection includes various brands, styles, and quality levels to match your budget and intended use. Whether you need budget-friendly options for large events or premium shirts for employee uniforms, we stock options that work for different applications. For Melville businesses, this variety means you can source everything from casual promotional t-shirts to professional embroidered polos from the same local provider. This simplifies ordering, ensures consistent quality across different product types, and builds a relationship with one reliable vendor for all your custom apparel needs.
Pricing varies based on several factors: printing method, design complexity, shirt quality, and quantity ordered. Screen printing typically costs less per piece for larger quantities, while DTG pricing remains more consistent regardless of order size. Embroidery pricing depends on stitch count and design complexity. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. You’ll know exactly what your custom t shirts will cost before production begins, including any setup fees, design work, or rush charges if applicable. The no-minimum policy means you’re not forced to order more shirts than needed to hit price breaks. You pay for what you actually want, which often results in better overall value compared to companies that require large minimum orders with excess inventory you won’t use.
