DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO · SACRAMENTO AREA
Custom Apparel
in Downtown Sacramento.
Capitol offices, conventions, courthouses and event weekends. Downtown work is deadline work, and the deadline is usually somebody else’s.
Where can I get custom apparel in Downtown Sacramento?

Downtown Sacramento sends custom apparel work through this shop steadily, which is what you’d expect from somewhere about 6 miles from a print floor that closes at 5 and starts the same-day queue at 10. Free proof before anything runs, and a free reprint if we get an approved proof wrong.
Downtown Sacramento, and who buys custom apparel there.
The businesses ordering custom apparel in Downtown Sacramento cluster into a few recognizable groups. Professional and government offices, events, venues and community organizations, churches, nonprofits and neighborhood groups chief among them.
Retractable-style event graphics, foam-board presentation boards, conference and booth signage, table banners, name badges and program booklets, plus the steady background hum of business cards and letterhead for offices that still hand people paper.
Rally and press-conference signage shows up on short notice more often downtown than anywhere else in the county, and that is a 10 AM conversation, not a 3 PM one.
Team shirts for conferences, open days and volunteer events.
Volunteer and staff shirts, which double as wayfinding because attendees can spot who to ask.
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.
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.
Order a few spares in the common sizes. Somebody joins, somebody ruins one, somebody’s cousin wants one, and a run of three replacements later costs more per shirt than the spares would have.
Getting custom apparel from Downtown Sacramento.
About six miles from the shop: Capital City Freeway south, then into the grid on one of the numbered-street exits. Downtown parking is its own sport, which is exactly why so many downtown customers have us hold the order at the counter on Fulton and swing by on the way in. Front and rear parking, no garage ticket.
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 Downtown Sacramento.
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.
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.
How far is the shop from Downtown Sacramento?
About 6 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.
