What We Do

Custom Tshirt Printing

At Chattanooga Tshirt, custom t-shirt printing is all we do. No two projects are the same, so we price and plan each one on its own. Whether you need a single custom tee, matching shirts for your team, or a full run for your business, event, or fundraiser, the process is the same: you approve a digital proof before anything prints. Our team works directly with you to nail the fit, feel, and finish so your shirts look exactly the way you pictured them, and last wash after wash. Explore our professional printing and design services below to find the perfect fit for your next custom apparel project, and let’s get yours started today.

Screen Printing

Screen printing is the most cost-effective method for bulk orders, producing bold, long-lasting designs with plastisol inks. Ideal for business apparel, team uniforms, fundraisers, and promotional shirts, this method shines on larger runs with limited colors. Consistent, durable, and professional, screen printing is the classic choice for high-volume custom shirts.
