Screen Printing & Custom Apparel in Chesapeake
Chesapeake stretches from the shipyards at South Norfolk all the way down to the farmland past Fentress, and the orders run the same range: a military contractor needing 500 hi-vis polos, a Great Bridge pizza shop ordering 48 staff tees, a Grassfield booster club selling spirit wear, and a Deep Creek church outfitting VBS week. Greenbrier has the offices and medical practices. Battlefield Boulevard has the trades. Western Branch and Deep Creek have the neighborhoods, the churches, and the rec leagues. We print for all of it, and every order ships free to every Chesapeake zip code.

Who we print for across Chesapeake
Battlefield Boulevard & the Trades
The stretch from Volvo Parkway down to the North Carolina line is packed with auto shops, plumbing outfits, electricians, and HVAC crews. Durable workwear for the trades working Battlefield and Military Highway: safety green and safety orange, heavy cotton tees, long sleeves, and hoodies, with the company name on the back in one or two ink colors. Sizes through 4XL in the same run, and reorders match because the art file and ink colors stay on record.
Greenbrier & Edinburgh
Greenbrier is the commercial hub of Chesapeake. Dental offices, med spas, professional services, and the restaurants and retail clustered around Eden Way, Greenbrier Parkway, and the Edinburgh shopping centers order Pantone-matched polos, employee tees, and patient and customer giveaways. We match your brand colors from their Pantone numbers so the logo on the shirt matches the sign on the building.
Great Bridge & Hickory
South Chesapeake has its own identity. The restaurants along Battlefield near the Great Bridge lock, the boutiques in the village, and the booster clubs at Hickory, Great Bridge, and Grassfield. Spirit wear that kids actually wear outside of school, fundraiser shirts with margins that make sense for a PTA budget, and team shirts for the youth leagues playing at the Chesapeake City Park fields.
Western Branch & Deep Creek
From the gyms and restaurants along Portsmouth Boulevard to the churches and youth leagues in Deep Creek, the community organizations on this side of the city order shirts with a date on them. Rec league jerseys, VBS shirts, family reunion tees, and church anniversary runs. Youth and adult sizes mix in the same order, so a league can outfit players and coaches in one run.
Government, Military & Contractors
Chesapeake sits between Naval Station Norfolk, Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek, and NAS Oceana, and the civilian contractors, MWR events, and command family readiness groups here order shirts all year. Command run tees, unit shirts, deployment homecoming gear, and contractor team apparel. Send the crest as a vector file with Pantone numbers and the colors hold from the first run to the reorder.
South Norfolk, Indian River & the Shipyards
South Norfolk and Indian River are the older, denser side of the city, with the shipyard and marine industry along the Elizabeth River, the businesses along Poindexter Street and Indian River Road, and the neighborhoods that have been here since before Chesapeake was a city. Workwear for the yards and marine trades, staff tees for the restaurants and shops, and event shirts for the civic leagues and church events.
Schools & Youth Sports
Chesapeake Public Schools keeps booster clubs busy across the city: Grassfield, Hickory, Great Bridge, Deep Creek, Western Branch, Indian River, and Oscar Smith. Spirit wear, senior shirts, band, JROTC, and fundraiser orders, plus the city rec leagues and the travel teams playing at the Chesapeake complexes. We keep per-piece costs low so booster sales actually raise money.

Chesapeake screen printing questions
Do you deliver to Chesapeake?
Yes. Every order ships free by UPS Ground anywhere in Virginia, so a Greenbrier office, a Great Bridge restaurant, or a Deep Creek church gets it delivered at no charge. Orders arrive 2 to 3 weeks after the invoice is paid.
What's the minimum order?
12 pieces per design. Mix brands, styles, colors, and sizes inside that 12, so a contractor can put one logo on safety-green tees for the crew and polos for estimates in one order. Price it on the quote calculator.
Can you match Grassfield, Hickory, or Great Bridge colors?
Yes. We offer Pantone color matching. Send the Pantone (PMS) numbers and we mix ink to match; the numbers need to be provided for us to color match, since we can't match from a photo, a logo file or a hex code. The same goes for a command crest.
Do I need to come to a shop?
No. The whole order runs by email or through our catalog: artwork and sizes in, an invoice back, pay it to place the order, and the finished shirts ship to your door. Vector files help, and Pantone numbers are needed for any color you want matched.
