Silicon Valley
A few things worth knowing about working with the shop from Palo Alto.
From The Red Barn in Hollister, Palo Alto is an hour and ten north.
Palo Alto is heavy on tech and venture-adjacent work. Most of the orders that come south to The Red Barn are clean, premium-feeling embroidered polos and event apparel for the small-team, founder-led companies that prefer fewer pieces done right.
If you are running a project that crosses city lines, the shop also serves Mountain View and Redwood City, with the same crew handling intake to ship.
If This Sounds Like You
Sublime is built for Palo Alto buyers who fit any of these.
- You run a Palo Alto business and your team needs branded shirts that look right and ship on time
- You manage a Palo Alto crew that goes through company tees every season and you are tired of chasing three vendors
- You are planning a Palo Alto event, fundraiser, or community drop and you need 50 to 2,000 pieces fast
- You have artwork ready and you want a real proof on the actual garment color before any ink moves
Industries
Built for shops that show up in branded gear.
In Palo Alto, that lands as tech, venture, events, and small business. The work is the same idea regardless: branded gear that holds up to daily wear and gets reordered.

Why You Are In Good Hands
The questions Palo Alto buyers ask first.
Direct answers to the concerns most Palo Alto businesses bring up before placing the first order.
You are not in Palo Alto that is a problem, right?
From Palo Alto, the shop is about 70 minutes by drive. Most Palo Alto orders ship the same week or get picked up at The Red Barn on Fairview Road in Hollister. Direct-to-jobsite delivery is available on larger orders. The location does not slow your project down.
How do I know the print will actually come out right?
Every order gets a mockup on the actual garment color before any ink or thread moves. You sign off before the press runs. If something is off after delivery, the shop fixes it the same day, no argument and no upcharge.
Are the minimums going to be a problem for my crew?
Lower than most: 24 pieces for screen printing, 12 hats for embroidery, and 1 piece for DTF transfers. If your project is below the screen printing minimum, the shop will quote DTF instead and walk you through the tradeoff.
Will the turnaround actually work for my Palo Alto timeline?
Standard turnaround is five business days from artwork approval. Rush is usually possible if a job kicks off Monday and ships Friday. Tell us your deadline up front and we will tell you what is realistic before you commit.
What happens after the first order?
Your logo gets kept on file, your blanks list and sizing notes stay on hand, and reorders are usually a one-line email. New hires, replacement gear, seasonal restocks, all run from the same files at no additional setup.
Can I trust you with my Palo Alto brand?
5.0 stars across 102+ verified Google reviews, family-owned by Ron Benavente and Brian Newman since 2017, four humans and four shop dogs running every order out of The Red Barn. The reorder rate is what tells you whether a printer can be trusted, and ours stays high.

Quick Definitions
The terms, in plain English.
Screen printing
A printing method that pushes ink through a mesh stencil onto a garment, one color at a time. Best for bulk runs with one to six colors.
Embroidery
Stitching a logo or design directly into the garment with thread. Permanent, structural, and best on hats, polos, jackets, and workwear.
DTF transfer
Direct-to-Film, a method that prints full-color art onto a film and presses it onto the garment with heat. Best for short runs, photo art, and fabric-tricky orders.
Pantone matching
Using a Pantone Matching System swatch book to mix screen printing inks to a specific brand color, so the print comes off the press the way the brand intends.

Common questions about screen printing.
Do you serve Palo Alto?
Yes. The shop is in Hollister and runs work for Palo Alto and the surrounding region every week. Pickup at The Red Barn is welcome, or we can ship direct.
How does delivery to Palo Alto work?
From Hollister to Palo Alto is about 70 minutes by drive, so most orders either get picked up at the shop or shipped at standard ground rates. Direct-to-jobsite delivery is available on larger orders when it makes the timing work.
How fast can you turn an order around?
Standard is five business days from artwork approval. Rush is usually possible when a job kicks off Monday and ships Friday, just call and ask.
Can I see a mockup before you run anything?
Yes. Every order gets a mockup on the actual garment color before any ink or thread moves. Approval to press goes once the mockup looks right to you.
What is the minimum order for screen printing?
Twenty-four pieces per design. Sizes and colors can mix as long as the print stays the same.
Can you Pantone match my brand colors?
Yes. Bring a Pantone code or a printed swatch and we mix to match on the press before we run.

Both. The shop carries premium and budget blanks across every category, and customer-supplied goods are fine after a quick test print.
