Working in Freer
Settle the handoff at the start rather than the end. One trip for a finished order beats three trips for pieces of it, and a group that decides pickup or delivery on day one never thinks about it again. Shipping is available when that is simpler.
Buckaroo hoodies and tees run alongside each other on the same design constantly, which is normal for cold weather team orders. One set of screens, two garment prices, one run. The hoodie blanks cost more than tees before any ink is involved, so they price separately inside the same quote instead of being averaged in.
Mascot art is the part people underestimate. A Buckaroo drawn properly holds up printed large across a back or small on a chest. Art scaled up from a low resolution image found online does not, and that is usually discovered after the screens are already burned. If all you have is an old shirt, bring the shirt.
Simple, high contrast designs in two colors survive the distance between a mockup on a phone and a shirt seen across a stadium. That is not a budget compromise, it is what actually reads.
Freer is in Duval County, population around 2,800.
What we handle in Freer
Common questions
Is there a minimum order?
The shop specializes in runs of about a hundred pieces and up, which is where screen printing prices really work in your favor. Smaller counts can sometimes be handled with heat applied vinyl or a short run, so ask. If you are close to a hundred, rounding up usually costs less per shirt than you expect.
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.
