Black Palms Ink — custom screen printing in Sacramento
Black Palms Ink is a Sacramento screen printing company that prints custom T-shirts, hoodies, hi-vis safety apparel and merch in-house. Orders start at 24 pieces, volume pricing begins at 48+, every job includes a free digital mockup, and standard turnaround is 7–10 business days after approval.
Custom screen printing for Sacramento businesses
Screen printing pushes ink through a fine mesh stencil — one screen per color — directly onto the garment. The result is a thick, opaque print with strong color that holds up wash after wash, which is why it's still the standard for crew shirts, company tees, event shirts and merch.
At Black Palms Ink we screen print in-house in Sacramento for local businesses, contractors, clothing brands, schools, teams and events. You get one point of contact from quote to delivery, a free digital mockup before anything prints, and your screens and files kept on record for the next order.
If you need different decoration on part of the order — embroidered polos for managers, or DTF for a few individual names — we handle that under the same order.

How our screen printing process works
Quote & art
Send garment, quantity, print locations and artwork. We check the art and reply within one business day.
Free mockup
You get a digital proof of your design on the actual garment and color.Free on every job
Separations & screens
After approval, the art is separated by color and a screen is prepared for each one.
Print & cure
Each color is printed in register, then the ink is cured so it bonds and lasts. Checks run at every stage.
Fold & deliver
Folded, boxed and ready for pickup, local delivery around Sacramento, or shipping.
Screen printing for large orders
Screen printing gets more cost-effective as quantities grow: the setup work — separations and screens — happens once, and every additional shirt is mostly ink and press time. That's why volume pricing starts at 48+ pieces, and why most bulk orders for crews, events and brands are screen printed.
Planning a large run? Include your full size breakdown and in-hand date in your quote request so we can confirm the schedule before you commit.
Screen printing for construction companies
Contractors need shirts that survive job sites and stay visible. We screen print company logos on hi-vis tees, long sleeves, vests and hoodies, and on standard workwear for shop and office staff. Simple, high-contrast logos read clearly from a distance.
See construction apparel for hi-vis options, or work uniforms for embroidered crew shirts.
Screen printing for clothing brands
For streetwear and independent labels, screen printing gives the soft-but-bold hand and saturated color that retail customers expect. Start with a DTF sample to test a design, then move to screen printing for the drop.
We work with brands on tees, hoodies and accessories, with your files kept on record so restocks match. Read more on clothing brand production.

Screen printing turnaround times
Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days after mockup approval. The clock starts when you sign off on the proof, so quick feedback on the mockup keeps your order moving.
Rush is available on request depending on the job. Tell us your in-hand date up front and we'll confirm what's possible before you commit.
Artwork requirements
Best: vector files — AI, EPS, SVG or PDF with outlined fonts. Vector art scales cleanly and separates accurately by color.
Also accepted: PSD, PNG and JPG. High-resolution files at actual print size work best.
Don't have it? Our design studio can redraw low-res logos, clean up art and prep separations. If you know your brand's Pantone colors, include them with your request.
