Carmichael, and who buys custom apparel there.
The businesses ordering custom apparel in Carmichael cluster into a few recognizable groups. Real estate, restaurants, cafes and food business, churches, nonprofits and neighborhood groups chief among them.
Carmichael is a settled suburban community with a business spine along Fair Oaks Boulevard and Manzanita Avenue: independent shops, salons, dental and medical offices, contractors, and a heavy base of homeowners.
The everyday orders are real estate riders and open-house signs, contractor job-site signs for remodels, window lettering and A-frames for the Fair Oaks Boulevard shops, and banners for school and community events.
Open-house and event shirts for agents and teams working a weekend.
Front and back-of-house shirts and aprons, reordered as staff turn over.
Church, nonprofit and volunteer group shirts for events, drives and service days.
What it costs.
Posted: shirts $15 for a front or back print, $20 for front and back; crewnecks $22 / $28; hoodies $25 / $32.
A crew of twelve shirts printed one side is about $180. Fifty event shirts at $15 is $750. Larger runs price better per piece. Call with the real quantity.
Every rate is on the posted price list, and larger runs price better per piece than the retail number, so call with your real quantity rather than multiplying. Want a figure right now? Run your size through the calculator.
How this gets made.
Send the size breakdown with the artwork rather than after it. The garments have to be pulled before anything gets pressed, and the sizes are usually what holds an otherwise same-day order until tomorrow.
One-sided printing at $15 is the sensible default. The back print at $20 earns its money when people will mostly see the crew from behind, on a job site, at an event, working a queue.
Getting custom apparel from Carmichael.
Carmichael sits just east of the shop. Fair Oaks Boulevard runs almost straight to Fulton Avenue, which is why so many Carmichael customers order in the morning and collect after lunch.
Pressed in the shop, often while you watch. Names and numbers add time, so give us the list early rather than the day before. If the drive is the awkward part rather than the deadline, ask about delivery when you place the order. It’s available on many jobs, though for a genuinely same-day deadline collecting at the counter is still fastest.
Questions we get from Carmichael.
Can I bring my own shirts?
Ask when you order. It’s sometimes possible and sometimes not, depending on the garment and the print. We’ll tell you straight rather than take them and hope.
Can you print small text or fine detail on a shirt?
Within limits. Fabric is not paper, and very fine lines and small type lose definition. Send the artwork and we’ll tell you what will hold up before it’s pressed, which is the point of the proof.
How far is the shop from Carmichael?
About 4 miles. We’re at 1835 Fulton Ave, Sacramento, CA 95825, Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with parking in front and more in the rear.
Do Carmichael customers pay a different rate?
No. One posted price list for everyone. Banners $6 per square foot, coroplast $9, vinyl lettering $7, PVC $11, aluminum composite $13.50, 500 business cards $58, shirts from $15. Where you drive from doesn’t change the number.
