VALLEY
Salinas Valley & Pajaro Valley

Custom Printing for
Salinas & Watsonville

Work shirts that survive a season in the field, spirit wear for valley schools, and branded gear for the businesses that keep both valleys running. About 35 minutes from either one.

What You Get

Gear built for people who work outside

Salinas and the Pajaro Valley do not need decorative apparel. They need shirts that get worn five or six days a week, in the sun, and still look like a company after a season of washing.

That points at particular choices: durable garments, hi-vis where the job calls for it, embroidery on the pieces that need to look official, and printing where a stitched patch would be too heavy or too hot.

We are about 35 minutes up the road in Hollister, and everything is made in our own building — so if a garment is not holding up, you are talking to the people who decorated it.

Outfitting a crew for the first time? Start with a small batch and wear-test it before committing to the full order. We keep your artwork on file, so the second batch matches the first exactly.

Why embroidery earns its keep on workwear

A print sits on the fabric. Stitching goes into it. On a garment that gets washed constantly and worn hard, embroidery is the finish still looking correct at the end of the season — which is why so much company workwear is stitched rather than printed.

It is priced by stitch count, so a simple, bold logo is inexpensive to run across a whole crew. Complicated logos cost more and often benefit from being simplified for chest size; we will show you what that looks like before you commit.

Where a big graphic or a phone number needs to read from a distance, printing is the right tool. Most crews end up with both. More on embroidery →

Common Questions

Salinas & Watsonville FAQ

  • How far is your shop from Salinas? +

    About 35 minutes via the 156, and a similar drive from Watsonville on the 129. We are at 817 Industrial Dr, Suite F, Hollister, CA 95023, open M–F, 9am – 5pm.

  • Do you do branded hi-vis and safety apparel? +

    Yes — branded high-visibility shirts and vests are a regular request from ag, roadside and site crews. Tell us which class of garment you need and we will source and decorate it.

  • Can you put our logo on workwear we already buy? +

    Yes. Ship or bring the garments and we will quote the decoration on its own. Let us know the fabric ahead of time, especially for performance, waterproof or flame-resistant material.

  • Will next year's shirts match this year's? +

    That is exactly what we set out to make possible. We keep your artwork and digitised logo on file, and note the garment and colour, so later batches match rather than being rebuilt.

  • Do you work with valley schools and youth leagues? +

    Yes — spirit wear, uniforms and booster fundraisers. Come to us with the deadline first and we will plan the schedule backwards from it.

  • Can wording be in Spanish? +

    Of course. Send the exact wording you want and check it on the digital proof before we produce anything.
