Bold, durable custom screen printing for Charlotte-area businesses, sports teams, schools, and nonprofits. We send a free mockup before you pay a cent, match any color at no upcharge, and deliver in about 10 days. From 24 team tees to 500 shirts for a company event, we make it easy.
There are plenty of places to get shirts printed. What makes Carolina Custom Threads different is how we treat the relationship. We're a local, family-owned Charlotte shop, which means you talk to a real person who's accountable for your order from the first mockup to the moment the boxes arrive. You're not uploading a file into a faceless online portal and hoping for the best.
A few things we do that bigger printers often won't: we send you a free digital mockup before you pay anything, so you see exactly how your design will look. We match any color at no upcharge — your brand navy is your brand navy, not "close enough." And we hold a 10-business-day turnaround as our standard, with rush options when you're in a pinch. Every order is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
Screen printing is the best value for medium-to-large runs. The process lays ink directly onto the fabric through a fine mesh screen, one color at a time, which produces a vibrant, durable print that holds up wash after wash. It's the right choice for team shirts, staff uniforms, event giveaways, fundraisers, and anywhere you need a lot of shirts that look great and last.
By the Numbers
Screen printing is most cost-effective at 24+ pieces. Need fewer? We'll steer you to DTF printing or embroidery, which have no high minimums — just ask.
Standard turnaround is about 10 business days from the moment you approve your mockup. Rush options may be available depending on timing.
A one-color print on a basic tee at 40+ pieces typically runs about $8–$12 each. More shirts and fewer colors lower the per-piece cost. You always get a free, itemized quote first.
Pricing varies with quantity, ink colors, and garment. The figures above are a general guide — your exact quote is always free and itemized.
