Custom Screen Printing in Garden Grove, CA
Bright, durable prints that last wash after wash. Our custom screen printing is the best value for team shirts, school spirit wear, event tees and business uniforms, usually at 24 pieces and up. Soft-hand plastisol is our standard ink, with water-based, discharge and specialty inks available.
Professional Embroidery Services
Embroidery gives hats, polos, beanies and work jackets a clean, professional look. We digitize your logo so it stitches sharp and holds up through years of washing. Great for staff uniforms, company gifts and team hats.
Direct to Film (DTF) Printing
We offer DTF (direct to film) printing for full color designs, photos and small runs, with no screen setup. It works on cotton, polyester and blends, so it is a good fit for one-off shirts, names and small orders. Searching for "DTF printing near me"? We are in Garden Grove.
Direct to Garment (DTG)
We offer DTG (direct to garment) printing for small runs and detailed, full color artwork on 100% cotton. The ink goes into the fabric, so the print feels soft.
Expert Artwork & Graphic Design
No print-ready file? No problem. We clean up logos and create custom designs, and you get a free digital mockup to approve before anything is printed.

Why We’re Different
Our family has worked in the apparel trade for 20+ years. We learned the craft from our parents and opened The Printing Needle in 2016, so we print every garment with care, as a real representation of your brand, event or organization.
We screen print on our own automatic and manual presses and run our own embroidery machines in Garden Grove. Every order gets a free digital mockup before we print.
Most orders are ready in 5-7 business days after mockup approval. Rush is available in 3-5 business days or 24-72 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
What determines the cost of my order?
Your price depends on:
1. Quantity: screen printing has a setup for each color, so the price per shirt drops as you order more.
2. Garment: from basic tees to premium soft blends, hoodies and hats. You can even bring your own items.
3. Design: the number of ink colors and print locations (front, back, sleeve).

No minimums. Screen printing is usually cheapest at 24+. Under that we quote DTF or DTG too, so you can choose.

Absolutely. As long as the ink color or thread color stays the same, you can mix shirt colors and sizes (S-6XL) within the same order.

Yes, you can! As long as the ink colors remain the same across all garment colors, there are no additional charges.
