SOUTH BAY
Santa Clara County

Custom Printing for
San Jose & the South Bay

Company swag, event merch, team apparel and engraved gifts — from a shop about 50 miles south that will happily make you forty of something instead of four hundred.

What You Get

Swag that people keep, in quantities that make sense

Most corporate merch is ordered in the wrong quantity. Somebody needs shirts for a forty-person offsite and gets quoted a case minimum, so they order two hundred and store a hundred and sixty of them in a closet forever.

We do not have a minimum. Forty is forty. Twelve is twelve. And because everything is printed and engraved in our own building, a small order does not get deprioritised behind somebody else's big one.

We are about fifty miles south of San Jose in Hollister — a next-day ship, or an hour's drive if you would rather see the work in person.

Onboarding gifts or a new-hire kit? Order a modest run now and reorder as you hire. We keep the artwork on file so the tenth batch matches the first.

What you get by going 50 miles south

A named human who answers the phone, for one. Small orders that are genuinely welcome, for another. And a digital proof on every job, so nothing gets produced from an assumption.

Because printing, embroidery and engraving all happen under one roof, a single event can have printed tees, embroidered polos, patch hats and engraved awards from one artwork file and one point of contact.

Reorders match, because your artwork and digitised logo stay on file rather than being rebuilt each time by whoever picked up the ticket.

Getting orders to San Jose

  • Distance: roughly 50 miles, about an hour, straight up the 101 or the 25.
  • Shipping from Hollister to the South Bay is next-day, free over $100.
  • Pickup is free if you are already coming south, and lets you check a large order before it ships.
  • Lead times: DTF transfers 1–2 business days; custom apparel about two weeks after proof approval; engraving about a week.
  • For a hard event date, tell us the date at the quote stage and we will be honest about whether it works.

Straight talk about being out of town

There are printers in San Jose, and for a same-afternoon rush job on a large run, closer is better. We are not going to argue otherwise.

Where we are worth the fifty miles: when you want a small quantity without a fight, when the order needs several different decoration methods, when you want the same shop to still have your files next year, and when you would like the person answering the phone to be able to change something.

Common Questions

San Jose FAQ

  • Is there a minimum order for company swag? +

    No. Forty shirts is a normal order here, and so is twelve. Screen printing setup costs make very small runs uneconomic, so we quote DTF alongside it and you choose.

  • How far are you from San Jose? +

    About 50 miles, roughly an hour, straight down the 101 or the 25. Our shop is at 817 Industrial Dr, Suite F, Hollister, CA 95023, open M–F, 9am – 5pm.

  • How quickly can you ship to the South Bay? +

    Shipping from Hollister to San Jose is a next-day trip for the carriers, and it is free on orders over $100. Production time is the part to plan around, not transit.

  • Can you do embroidered polos and printed tees in one order? +

    Yes — printing, embroidery and engraving all happen in our building, so one event can use several methods from one artwork file and one contact.

  • Will you still have our logo next year? +

    Yes. We keep artwork and digitised embroidery files, so reorders match the original rather than being rebuilt.

  • Do you do engraved corporate gifts? +

    Yes — branded drinkware, boards, plaques and awards, in bulk or personalised with individual names.
