Screen Printing & Custom Apparel on the Eastern Shore
The Eastern Shore is two counties, one highway, and a lot of water. Route 13 runs from the Bay Bridge-Tunnel at Cape Charles up through Eastville, Exmore, Onley, and Parksley to Chincoteague and the Maryland line, and the orders come from every town along it. Watermen, aquaculture crews, and seafood houses. The Chincoteague tourist season and the pony swim. Cape Charles beach businesses and the Bay Creek community. NASA Wallops and the Navy at Wallops Island. The poultry plants, the farms, and the fire companies. Nandua, Arcadia, Chincoteague, and Northampton boosters. We print for all of it, and every order ships free to the Shore.

Where we print on the Eastern Shore
Chincoteague & the Island Season
Chincoteague runs on the summer season, the Pony Swim in July, and the seafood and oyster festivals in fall. Restaurants, motels, kayak and boat tour outfits, surf shops, and the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company that runs the swim all need staff tees and retail merch that sells to visitors. Reorders through the season are simple because the art file and ink colors are already on record.
Cape Charles & the Southern Tip
Cape Charles has turned into a beach town with a real main street: Mason Avenue restaurants and shops, the beach and harbor businesses, the breweries and distillery, and the Bay Creek golf and residential community. Retail merch and staff tees for the shops, event shirts for the summer festivals, and polos for Bay Creek events. Garment-dyed Comfort Colors in coastal shades are the usual pick.
Watermen, Aquaculture & Seafood
Clam and oyster growers, crab houses, seafood packing operations, and the marinas from Wachapreague to Willis Wharf to Oyster keep crews working year-round. Heavy cotton tees and long sleeves that survive a season on the water, hoodies for winter, and retail shirts that turn a family seafood name into a brand. One or two ink colors, sizes through 4XL, no setup fees.
NASA Wallops, Accomack & the Employers
NASA Wallops Flight Facility, the Navy presence at Wallops Island, the Perdue and Tyson plants, Eastern Shore Rural Health, and the county governments are the Shore's big employers. Contractor team shirts, department polos, safety and site tees, and event gear for launches and community days are regular orders. Send the brand guide with Pantone numbers and the logo matches across every department.
Onancock, Exmore & the Route 13 Towns
Onancock's harbor and downtown, Exmore's restaurants and shops, Onley and Parksley's businesses, and the churches, Ruritan clubs, and volunteer fire companies in every town along Route 13 order shirts with a date attached. Church events, fire company fundraisers, farmers market vendors, harvest festival crews, and family reunions with sizes from youth small to adult 3XL in the same run.
Shore Schools & Youth Leagues
Accomack and Northampton County Public Schools keep booster clubs ordering on both ends of the Shore. Nandua, Arcadia, Chincoteague, and Northampton high schools, Broadwater Academy, the middle schools, and the youth leagues playing at the county fields. Spirit wear, senior shirts, band, fundraiser tees, and team shirts by the season. We keep per-piece costs low so booster sales actually raise money.

Eastern Shore screen printing questions
Do you deliver to the Eastern Shore?
Yes. Every order ships free by UPS Ground anywhere in Virginia, so a Chincoteague motel, a Cape Charles shop, or a fire company in Parksley 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 seafood house can put one logo on tees for the retail counter and long sleeves for the crew in one order. Price it on the quote calculator.
Can you match Nandua, Arcadia, or Northampton 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.
Do I need to come to a shop?
No. The whole order runs by email or the contact form: artwork and sizes in, an itemized quote back, a paid invoice places the order, and the finished shirts ship to your door. Vector files help, and Pantone numbers are needed for any color you want matched.
