What is DTF Printing? A New Solution for Custom Apparel
Discover how Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing offers flexibility, no minimums, and vibrant multi-color designs, perfect for custom apparel orders that demand precision and versatility.
Custom screen printed apparel acts as a wearable canvas, carrying your brand story into the world. I make sure the quality of that apparel, and the print it displays, matches the quality of your brand.
Story & Branded Apparel
A compelling story can transform how your audience perceives your brand, turning passive onlookers into engaged participants. It’s not merely about what you sell but the story behind why you sell it. This emotional engagement is crucial in building lasting relationships with your customers.
Alpine Apparel Co prints every item with only water based inks. If you want the most premium result with your prints, water based is the only option.
I print every shirt myself, by hand, on my manual screen printing press. Every single shirt is inspected for quality to ensure you get only the best apparel posible for your brand.
Many shops include all sorts of fees and extra charges. Not here. You'll get simple, out-the-door pricing that makes sense.
Need your apparel individually folded and bagged? I can make sure your apparel items are ready for the retail shelf as soon as you pick them up.
Water Based
Even with all the modern print technologies available today (DTF, Sublimation, DTG, etc.) nothing has yet to compete with screen printing from a durability standpoint.
Most shops use plastisol ink and it is about like wearing a plastic sticker on your shirt. I use only water based inks which provide a high quality print that is breathable and so soft that you often can't even feel the print on the shirt.
Screen printing is a bulk-friendly service. There are minimums to get started, but how many you get on the top end is up to you. I can accomodate as few as 12 shirts and as many as 50,000.
Unlimited Posibilities
Tailor the template effortlessly to match your brand's identity and requirements, making your website distinct and saving you time.
Explore various layout options to find the structure that best presents your content, enhancing user engagement and navigation.
Ensure your website's optimal performance on various devices and screen sizes, providing a consistent and enjoyable user experience.
Seamlessly incorporate images, videos, and multimedia elements that enhance your content and engage visitors effectively.
Step 1: Discovery
Tell me about your brand and let's discuss the story you're trying to tell. Together, we'll come up with some apparel that not only looks great, but enhances your customers' experience with your business or organization.
Step 2: Plan & Price
Now that we've decided how apparel fits into your goals as a brand, we'll discuss specific items, print types, quantities, budget, and order frequency. The goal is not to sell you things you don't need, here. The goal is to equip your brand with the tools you need for growth.
Step 3: Let's Print
As production begins on your order, you will receive art mockups to approve prior to printing. Once approved, if there are any quetsions throughout the process, you will be contacted for input. The end goal is for you to get exactly what you wanted, and I will work to make sure that is the case every single time you order apparel.
Ready!
Your order is complete! It is time to get your new apparel out into the world and give your fans a comfortable way to tell your story. You are free to pick up your order if you are local or I will ship it to you anywhere in the US via USPS Ground.

FAQs
Answers to some of the most asked questions I get about screen printing.
To get a screen print quote, just fill out this form. Some of the details that matter for screen print pricing are total quantity of items with the same print, number of print locations, number of ink colors in each print, and the specific items being printed (tshirts, hoodies, etc.).

No. I have 25+ years experience as a graphic designer. All you need to come with is an idea of what you want. I’ll take care of creating the artwork. Note, however, that custom art does include additional fees for the design work.
Glad you asked! I print with only water based ink for many reasons, most of which I lay out here in this article. Trust me, you’ll love the end result that water based ink creates.
A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up. Disappears! It ceases to exist without me. No, you clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in.
