For custom embroidery in Seaside, CA, you get a 12-hat minimum (lowest in the region), in-house digitizing that sample-stitches your logo on the actual fabric before production, and a five-day standard turnaround.

Monterey Peninsula
From The Red Barn in Hollister, Seaside is fifty minutes south.
Seaside sits between Marina and Monterey on the 1, and the work tends to be hospitality uniforms, service-trade crew gear, and the family-run small businesses that anchor the city. Reorders here are common because the same crews wear the same shirts for years.
If you are running a project that crosses city lines, the shop also serves Marina, Monterey and Salinas, with the same crew handling intake to ship.

Why You Are In Good Hands
Direct answers to the concerns most Seaside businesses bring up before placing the first order.
From Seaside, the shop is about 50 minutes by drive. Most Seaside 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Quick Definitions
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.
Stitching a logo or design directly into the garment with thread. Permanent, structural, and best on hats, polos, jackets, and workwear.
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.
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.
