Working in Corpus Christi
Corpus has shops that will hand you shirts the same afternoon, and for ten shirts tomorrow that is the right call. Screen printing is built for the other job. Art gets separated, a screen gets burned for each color, and the press gets set up one time. That setup is why a rush of ten costs so much apiece, and why a hundred costs a fraction of it. If the run is real and the date is a week or two out, the math moves hard in your favor.
TAGD stands for Tshirts And Graphic Designs, and the drawing half is not farmed out. Plenty of ordering sites want a finished vector file uploaded before they will quote anything. Bring a rough sketch, a phone photo of a shirt somebody printed years ago, or just describe what you picture. It gets drawn at the shop and a mockup comes back to you before a screen is burned.
Getting them north is routine. Shirts go anywhere in Texas, and on a large Corpus run a drop can usually be arranged instead of freight. Picking up at the shop stays an option for anybody already driving down. Say which one you want when the order is placed, so it is scheduled from the start rather than sorted out at the end.
An instant online calculator returns a number in four seconds and revises it once a human opens the artwork. Ink colors, how many spots get printed, which blank you pick, and whether names go on the back all move the real figure. One short phone call gets a price that holds, and on a decent run it usually lands under whatever the quick quote showed.
Corpus Christi is in Nueces County, population around 325,000.

Common questions
Is there a minimum order?
No. Any size order is welcome. The more shirts in one run, the less each one costs, because the setup is paid for once no matter how long the run is. Smaller runs get printed here all the time. Tell the shop your count and you get a real number for that count.
Why does the per shirt price drop when I order more?
Because the setup is the expensive part. Every ink color in your design needs its own screen burned and registered on the press before shirt one gets printed. Once the press is set, printing shirt two hundred costs little more than printing shirt one hundred, and the quote reflects that.
What is the difference between screen printing and vinyl?
Screen printing pushes ink through a stencil and is the workhorse for a run of identical shirts, which is why it rules bulk orders. Heat applied vinyl is cut per piece, which makes it right for the parts that differ shirt to shirt, like player names and numbers. A typical team run uses both on the same garment.
