Services
Screen Printing
Our screen printing service uses high-mesh plastisol inks to create durable, vibrant designs on t-shirts and other garments. We specialize in multi-color prints with precise layering techniques that maintain fabric breathability while ensuring long-lasting wash resistance. Clients benefit from our 20+ years of expertise in optimizing ink formulations for different fabric types, including standard plastisol, reduced plastisol, and specialty inks like glitter and glow-in-the-dark.
Embroidery
GetBold's embroidery service transforms logos into dimensionally rich stitched designs using commercial-grade machines and premium threads. We specialize in adapting digital artwork for optimal stitch density while maintaining fabric integrity, particularly for challenging items like hats and jackets. Our pricing model based on square-inch measurements rather than stitch count provides transparent cost predictability for clients ordering embroidered apparel for businesses, sports teams, and special events.
Applique
Our applique service creates distinctive designs by sewing fabric pieces onto garments using precision laser-cutting and multi-layer stitching techniques. We specialize in collegiate-style lettering and sports jersey crests, offering material options from twill to felt while maintaining strict quality control over thread tension and fabric adhesion. This service particularly benefits organizations seeking premium visual impact for jackets, hoodies, and team uniforms.
Finishing Services
We provide comprehensive finishing services including automated folding, polybagging, and hang-tagging for retail-ready apparel orders. Our industrial equipment handles bulk quantities with precision, offering customizable packaging solutions for businesses requiring branded presentation. The service includes specialized tagging options that prevent garment damage while maintaining professional appearance for both t-shirts and heavier garments like sweatshirts.
Custom Design
Our in-house design team offers professional artwork adaptation and creation services to optimize client concepts for production. From converting low-resolution files to modifying complex logos for embroidery, we provide expert guidance on color selection and design simplification. This service ensures technical feasibility while maintaining brand integrity, particularly for clients without vector-ready artwork or those requiring design adjustments for specific decoration methods.
