The Davis buyers.
The businesses ordering custom apparel in Davis cluster into a few recognizable groups. Schools, boosters and youth sport, events, venues and community organizations, retail and storefront business chief among them.
Davis is a university town: campus organizations, a bicycle-and-downtown retail culture, restaurants, farmers-market and event activity, and research and agricultural businesses around the edges.
Student and campus groups order event banners, table signage, and shirts.
Team, club, spirit and event shirts: the biggest single apparel category on the calendar, and it repeats every year.
Volunteer and staff shirts, which double as wayfinding because attendees can spot who to ask.
Staff shirts and branded merchandise sold at the counter as a second revenue line.
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.
We publish the whole list rather than quoting on request, which means you can budget before you pick up the phone, and the person calling in a panic gets the same number as the one who planned three weeks out. The full list is here.
The part worth knowing.
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.
Apparel is the item that makes a small operation read as a real business for very little money. A four-person crew in matching shirts looks like a company; the same four people in whatever they own do not. It’s also the piece people keep and wear off the job, which is free advertising with a long tail.
Getting custom apparel from Davis.
Davis is west across the causeway on I-80: a straightforward drive, but plan it rather than counting on a last-minute dash.
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 Davis.
Can you do names and numbers?
Yes, and they add time, so send the roster early in the season rather than the week of the first game. Sizes with the names saves a round of back-and-forth.
Do you do hats, bags or other promotional items?
Tell us what you’re after and we’ll say honestly what’s made here versus sourced in, and what that does to the timeline. Shirts, crewnecks and hoodies are pressed on site at the posted rates.
How far is the shop from Davis?
About 19 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.

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.
