Screen printing in Norfolk

Norfolk is the center of gravity for Hampton Roads. Naval Station Norfolk is the largest naval base in the world, and the military presence shapes everything. But this is also a city with a real downtown along Granby Street, a restaurant and brewery scene in Ghent and Chelsea, Old Dominion and Norfolk State putting students on the streets, the NEON District building an arts corridor, and Ocean View reinventing itself along the Bay. We print for Navy contractors and command groups, Ghent restaurant staffs, ODU and NSU organizations, NEON gallery openings, and Ocean View taco joints, and every order ships free to every Norfolk address.

Naval Station Norfolk & the Military Corridor

Naval Station Norfolk is the largest naval base in the world, and the military economy radiates through the whole city. Civilian contractors, defense support businesses along Hampton Boulevard and Terminal Boulevard, MWR event teams, command family days, and squadron morale runs all order shirts: command run tees, unit shirts, deployment homecoming gear. Send the crest as a vector file with Pantone numbers and the colors hold from the first run to the reorder.

Ghent, Chelsea & Colley Avenue

Ghent is Norfolk's restaurant and nightlife neighborhood, and Chelsea is the brewery extension growing alongside it. Colley Avenue and 21st Street are where the bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and independent retail concentrate. Staff tees, retail merch, and seasonal event shirts for the food and beverage businesses packed into these blocks, printed on Comfort Colors and Bella Canvas with the ink kept as light as the artwork allows, because Ghent restaurant merch has to sell at the bar, not just get worn behind it.

Downtown, Granby Street & Waterside

Downtown Norfolk along Granby Street is the professional and entertainment core: law firms, financial services, Sentara's headquarters, Scope and Chrysler Hall, and the Waterside District. Conference event tees for the corporate and medical tenants, plus retail merch and staff uniforms for the Granby Street restaurant strip and Waterside. The convention traffic and the cruise terminal bring seasonal event apparel throughout the year.

ODU, NSU & University Life

Old Dominion University and Norfolk State University give Norfolk a two-campus college identity. The Monarchs and the Spartans each drive steady orders from Greek letter organizations, club sports, student government, academic departments, and alumni chapters. Homecoming, rush week, intramural teams, and campus events on college timelines, with ODU blue and NSU green off Pantone numbers so both come out right. The student-facing businesses along Hampton Boulevard and Park Avenue order staff tees alongside them.

NEON District & the Arts Corridor

The NEON District along Granby Street north of Brambleton is Norfolk's arts and creative corridor: galleries, studios, performance venues, creative agencies, and the restaurants and bars filling in alongside them. Event tees, gallery opening merch, artist collaboration shirts, and branded gear for the creative businesses establishing themselves here, plus the nonprofit arts organizations and community groups running programming in the district.

Ocean View & the Bay Waterfront

Ocean View is reinventing itself along the Chesapeake Bay. New restaurants, breweries, and beach bars are opening next to the established seafood joints and Ocean View Beach Park. Staff tees and retail merch for the food scene along Ocean View Avenue and East Ocean View Avenue, and seasonal runs for the beach park events and community festivals. Garment-dyed Comfort Colors in coastal shades are the usual pick here.

Larchmont, Colonial Place & Residential Norfolk

The established neighborhoods from Larchmont to Colonial Place to Riverview have their own commercial life along Hampton Boulevard, Tidewater Drive, and Granby Street north of downtown. Dental offices, veterinary clinics, salons, fitness studios, and the small businesses serving these neighborhoods order staff uniforms and branded gear, and the civic leagues and neighborhood associations order the event shirts that keep these blocks connected.

Schools & Youth Sports

Norfolk Public Schools keeps the booster clubs active across the city: Maury, Norview, Booker T. Washington, Lake Taylor, Granby. Football, Homecoming, baseball, track, band, JROTC, senior class shirts. Add the youth sports organizations, rec leagues, and travel teams operating out of the city parks and community centers. We keep per-piece costs low so booster clubs and PTAs can fundraise and still deliver shirts that get worn.

Read All the FAQs
Do you deliver to Norfolk?

Yes. Every order ships free by UPS Ground anywhere in Virginia, so a Ghent restaurant, a command family readiness group, or an Ocean View bar gets it delivered at no charge. Turnaround is 2 to 3 weeks from the paid invoice.

What's the minimum order?

12 pieces per design. Mix brands, styles, colors, and sizes inside that 12, so a taproom can put one logo on tees for the bar and hoodies for the patio season in one order. Price it in the catalog.

Can you match ODU, NSU, or Maury 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 online and by email, with Design Online or our catalog: artwork and sizes in, then pay the invoice we email you or pay by card in the designer, and the finished shirts ship to your door. Vector files help, and Pantone numbers are needed for any color you want matched.

Printing for the whole state

Most of our work goes to Richmond and Hampton Roads, and UPS Ground shipping is free anywhere in Virginia.
