The Oak Park buyers.
The businesses ordering custom apparel in Oak Park cluster into a few recognizable groups. Medical, dental and clinical offices, contractors and trades, retail and storefront business chief among them.
Opening-day work: storefront lettering, a banner while the permanent sign is being sorted out, business cards, and menus.
The Broadway and Stockton Boulevard corridors carry a lot of small independent business (food, barbershops and salons, trades, community organizations, churches) alongside the medical district anchored around the UC Davis Medical Center campus.
Practice-branded apparel for staff and for community health events.
Crew shirts and hoodies are ordered alongside truck lettering and job-site signs, and reordered as the crew changes.
Staff shirts and branded merchandise sold at the counter as a second revenue line.

How we make them.
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.
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.
Getting custom apparel from Oak Park.
Roughly seven miles from the counter, down the Capital City Freeway and across toward Broadway, Stockton Boulevard, or Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard depending on which end of the neighborhood you’re in. The Broadway end is the quickest run.
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 Oak Park.
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.
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.

About 7 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.
Is it worth coming to Fulton Avenue from Oak Park?
Customers do it, and the reasons show up in their reviews: the prices are posted, the work is made on site, and same-day means today rather than the middle of next week. If a given order doesn’t justify the drive, ask about delivery.
