Screen Printing
Screen printing at Blue Sky T-Shirts combines traditional techniques with modern technology to produce vibrant, long-lasting designs on apparel. Our process involves creating custom stencils for each color, ensuring precise ink application and durability through multiple washes. Ideal for bulk orders, this method supports complex graphics and corporate branding with consistent color matching.
DTF Printing
DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing offers high-resolution, full-color designs without the need for fabric pretreatment. This versatile technique works on cotton, polyester, and blends, making it perfect for detailed artwork and small-batch customization. Prints resist fading and maintain softness, ideal for personalized apparel and promotional items.
Embroidery
Our embroidery service uses computerized machines to sew intricate designs onto garments, ensuring professional results for logos, names, and decorative elements. With options for multi-color stitching and variable thread counts, this durable method adds a premium touch to uniforms, corporate gifts, and casual wear.
Custom T-Shirts
Blue Sky T-Shirts provides fully customizable t-shirts in a range of styles, including vintage distressed looks, performance fabrics, and eco-friendly options. Clients can choose from screen printing, DTF, or embroidery to create unique designs for events, teams, or retail, with no minimum order requirements.
Promotional Products
We offer customized promotional products like mugs, lanyards, and bags to enhance brand visibility. Using durable printing techniques, we ensure logos and designs remain vibrant through regular use, helping businesses create impactful marketing materials that resonate with their audience.

Working with Blue Sky T-shirts has exceeded our expectations vastly! We hired them to help us design some shirts and sweaters for our salon.
Firstly, the customer service and design team are incredible. They were so helpful and patient when working on designing the logo and imaging for the shirts. They can do pretty much anything when it comes to design! The quality of the material used is great!
It is extremely soft, durable and comfortable. The design itself is crisp, clean and clear. It is put into the shirts in a way that prevents peeling, cracking and fading. Over all this company is amazing

CUSTOMER BEWARE!! So I've used this company several times over the years first order which were 50-100 shirts printed came out great. Loved the quality of the shirts. Then the second time printed my company shirts inverted colour so completely wrong and to top it off wrong style shirt. Third time the printing on the shirts came out correct unfortunately again print on the wrong style shirt after being specific on what style I wanted and paid for their mistake again. Fourth and most recent time I requested the thicker style shirts and to make sure they were pre shrunk. I get my shirts again

I recently ordered 2 custom Christmas hoodies from Blue Sky T-Shirts. They not only completed my order very quickly and at a reasonable price. The shirts themselves are true to size and great quality, and the printed artwork on them is beautiful. They also accommodated my confused requests like true professionals which I really appreciated. I'll definitely order from them again. Thank you so much!

I bought some T-shirts for my business, and I was very impressed by the service I received and the quality of the T-shirts. I was getting tired of the garbage I was getting from Vistaprint, and decided to try these guys out. And Im happy I did, because now I have quality long-lasting T-shirts that look awesome, AND that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you support your local community. A very nice couple have been running this store for decades and they certainly know their stuff! Highly recommended.

If your looking for a great place to get premium T-shirts printed you hit the jackpot! This location is in the busy area of commercial and is very easy to find. The small business is very unique and street parking is available. It all started when I was looking for a printing company that does great on Team T-shirts. Since I knew nothing about printing T-shirts - It originally started when I was looking for a T-Shirt printing company using yelp by sending a request to quote via message. I had contacted several companies and Blue Sky T-Shirt has the fastest response time by far! Since I needed

I've been using Blue Sky for years to print sports team clothing for leagues. Very helpful staff that work with you to custom design and take your ideas to production. Excellent prices and usually the more you order the cheaper their price. Among other brands they use good quality Gildan heavyweight clothing. I still wear a silkscreened Gildan shirt from around 10 years ago and it only shows light wear with faint cracking on the screened portion and only slight shirt colour fade. They also have fast dry synthetic, organic cotton, & bamboo clothing. They keep your screen patterns so if
