Screen-printed event shirt produced by East Coast Embroidery

Custom Event Shirts for Businesses and Organizations

Short answer: East Coast Embroidery screen prints event shirts for company days, fundraisers, school spirit nights, marina openings and trade shows in Rhode Island and nearby New England. Orders start at 24 pieces for shirt printing. Staff running the event can add embroidered polos or hats from a 6 piece embroidery minimum.

This page is print first because event volume usually needs screen printing. Across the site we still plan about 70 percent embroidery and 30 percent printing. Matt Sidlo owns East Coast Embroidery. The company dates to 1986.

What counts as an event shirt order

  1. Company picnic, all hands, product launch or customer day tees
  2. Nonprofit and church fundraiser shirts
  3. School spirit and tournament shirts
  4. Marina, restaurant and hospitality event staff shirts
  5. Trade show and conference crew shirts

Minimums and turnaround

  1. Shirt printing (screen printing): 24 pieces
  2. Heat press: 24 pieces
  3. Contract work: 24 pieces
  4. Embroidery (staff polos, jackets, hats for the event crew): 6 pieces
  5. Laser etching (drinkware or gifts for the event): 60 pieces

Turnaround: about 2 weeks for current customers. Up to 3 weeks for new customers, because the logo is tested on embroidery work and new print setups still need proof approval. Book early for fixed event dates. Hours: Mon to Thu 10 to 4, Fri 10 to 1.

Art, proofs and reorders

  1. Send vector art when you have it. We can work from a clear PNG or JPG when needed.
  2. Screen printing includes a proof before production on the live screen printing page terms.
  3. New embroidery logos for staff gear have a $50 digitizing fee.
  4. Next year fundraiser or annual event can reorder from art on file.

Decoration help: choosing a decoration method and embroidery vs screen printing vs DTF.

Event day staff look

Many buyers print tees for attendees and embroider a small staff set so the crew is easy to spot. Pair this page with uniforms, embroidery and hat decoration.
