Clothing That Carries Your Brand Every Day

Custom Apparel Printing in South Jersey for businesses, schools, and organizations needing branded clothing that lasts through repeated wear and washing

ARC REPROGRAPHICS SJ INC provides custom apparel printing in Marmora for businesses that need employee uniforms, schools ordering team wear, and organizations preparing for events. You choose between screen printing for high-volume orders where each shirt carries the same design or direct-to-garment printing when you need detailed, full-color graphics with photographic quality. The method changes based on order size, color complexity, and fabric type.


Screen printing uses layers of ink pressed through mesh screens, creating vibrant colors that hold up through commercial laundering and years of use. Direct-to-garment printing applies ink directly into fabric fibers using specialized printers, which works for orders requiring individual customization or designs with gradients and fine detail that screen printing cannot reproduce accurately. Apparel options include t-shirts, polos, hoodies, sweatshirts, hats, and tote bags, with design assistance available when you need help translating logos or concepts into print-ready artwork.



Schedule a consultation to review design options and determine which printing method fits your order volume and budget.

How Printing Method Affects Durability and Detail

Screen printing creates a slightly raised layer of ink on fabric surfaces, which produces bold, opaque colors that remain vivid after dozens of wash cycles. The process requires creating a separate screen for each color in your design, making it cost-effective for orders of 24 pieces or more where setup costs distribute across the full quantity. Direct-to-garment printing works differently by saturating fabric fibers with water-based inks, allowing for photographic detail and unlimited color variation without the per-color setup that screen printing requires.


After printing completes, you receive garments ready to wear with colors that stay true through normal laundering when washed inside-out in cold water. Screen-printed apparel maintains color intensity longer on dark fabrics, while direct-to-garment printing delivers better results on lighter materials where ink absorption is more consistent. Bulk ordering reduces per-piece costs significantly, particularly for screen printing where setup represents a fixed expense regardless of quantity.



Design assistance helps you understand how artwork translates to fabric, including adjustments for print size, placement, and color matching to your brand standards. ARC REPROGRAPHICS SJ INC reviews artwork files for resolution and format requirements before production begins, preventing delays caused by unusable graphics or improper file types.

Questions About Apparel Printing Projects

Organizations often ask about minimum orders, turnaround times, and which printing method works best for their specific needs.

  • What determines whether screen printing or direct-to-garment works better for my order?

    Screen printing becomes cost-effective at 24 pieces or more with designs using six colors or fewer, while direct-to-garment suits smaller orders or designs requiring photographic detail and full-color gradients that screen printing cannot reproduce.

  • How long does production take from order approval to finished garments?

    Turnaround depends on order size and current production schedules, with most standard orders completing within seven to ten business days after artwork approval and garment selection finalize.

  • What file format should my logo be in for printing?

    Vector files in AI or EPS format work best for screen printing because they scale without losing sharpness, while high-resolution PNG or TIFF files at 300 DPI minimum are required for direct-to-garment printing to prevent pixelation.

  • Can I order different sizes within the same design run?

    Yes, both printing methods accommodate size assortments within a single order, though you need to provide specific quantities for each size so garments are available when printing begins.

  • What happens if the shirt color I want is not available?

    Garment availability fluctuates based on manufacturer stock, particularly for specific brand preferences, so alternative colors or brands with similar quality and fit are identified during the ordering process to keep your project on schedule in Marmora.
