Rendered.co caught our attention for its focus on both quality and sustainability. They use Japanese water-based inks, which deliver vibrant and long-lasting colors while keeping things eco-friendly—a big win for those of us who care about the planet. 

We were especially impressed by their free PANTONE ink matching service. This thoughtful touch ensures colors match official PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM shades, which is a game-changer if you’re aiming for branding consistency.

We also appreciate the wide range of apparel styles available. Aside from T-shirts, they can also print on sweatpants, jackets, bags, and a lot more!

Plus, their online platform is straightforward. Uploading and tweaking designs is seamless, making the whole process straightforward and stress-free.

That said, we did notice their pricing is a bit higher than average, which might be a drawback for smaller orders or those on tighter budgets. However, if you’re looking for premium quality paired with sustainability, Rendered.co definitely delivers.

When we took a closer look at Oregon Screen Impressions, it became clear why they’re one of the favorites for custom screen printing, especially for activewear.

Their prints are designed to handle the wear and tear of rigorous activity, making them a reliable option for teams and fitness enthusiasts. 

What impressed us most was their incredible range of customization options. From garment styles to printing techniques, there’s plenty of flexibility to bring creative ideas to life. This makes them especially popular for promotional events and branded apparel.

Their quick turnaround times are another highlight. Many customers said their orders were completed earlier than expected, which is a huge plus for those last-minute projects. 

That said, we did notice some feedback about occasional inconsistencies in print quality during busier seasons. While this can be disappointing, it doesn’t seem to overshadow their overall reputation.

On the upside, their competitive pricing structure makes them a solid choice for bulk orders. They offer good value for teams and organizations looking to stick to a budget.

Am truly so pleased with the product she helped us design and create

“Emma exceeded expectations! Emma is an excellent communicator and goes above and beyond. I am so picky and have very high expectations and am truly so pleased with the product she helped us design and create. I am already preparing to re-order and design more products with Emma.”

We were quite pleased with Urban Kingdom’s fast turnaround service, making it a top pick for anyone in a time crunch. 

Their same-day pickup option and free design software are game-changers for last-minute projects, whether it’s for an event or a custom gift.

We also loved how easy it was to use their online design tool. It’s incredibly user-friendly, encouraging creativity while giving you a clear preview of your design before committing. 

The print quality doesn’t disappoint either. Vibrant colors and durable finishes made the final products stand out, proving they actually live up to the hype. 

However, we noticed that the selection of garment styles isn’t as extensive as what you’d find at bigger print shops. This might limit options for those with very specific ideas.

Quick turnaround time as well as top-notch quality

“We have ordered custom screen printed tshirts for an event my company is attending and had quick turnaround time as well as top-notch quality, highly recommend.”

Beautiful! And very reasonably priced

“Great and responsive service! I had a lot of questions and needed to add to my very small order, after they had completed it. They were very communicative, calling me and emailing to ensure they got the order right. They did. The tees were beautiful, I had a photo printed on the shirts and it was true to color and scale. Beautiful! And very reasonably priced. All in 24 hours!”

When it comes to custom apparel, Shop Strange stands out for its ability to cater to businesses, events, and organizations with tailored designs. 

We appreciate their flexibility in working with a wide range of branded garments. They work with well-known name brands, including Dickies and Bella Canvas. This makes them a great choice if you’re looking to elevate your branding with high-quality materials.

What also caught our eye is their attention to detail. The clear digital mockups they provide before production are a thoughtful touch, giving clients full confidence in what to expect. It’s a level of transparency that adds to their professionalism.

However, we did notice some room for improvement. Customers have mentioned delays in customer service responses, especially during peak times like holidays. 

Additionally, smaller orders can feel more costly because of the setup fees for personalized designs. It’s something to keep in mind if you’re on a tighter budget.

He always followed through on communications and kept us moving forward

“Worked with Danny to get our theme camp shirts done. Danny was awesome communicating schedules and Deadlines for us to finalize everything. He always followed through on communications and kept us moving forward. Shirts came out great. We will be back next year for other swag items. NC-17.”

This is the shop to take care of business and delivers on time

“Shop Strange is legit – we held the MADE Bicycle Show in Portland and knew we needed top level work on time and Christine and Ian worked with us on every level. Trust me, this is the shop to take care of business and delivers on time!”

Portland Ink sets itself apart with its collaborative design process, letting clients take a hands-on approach to creating custom apparel. It’s a refreshing approach that makes the experience feel more personal and creative.

We were impressed by their quick turnaround times and their extensive selection of fabric types and styles. Whether you’re a business looking to enhance your brand or an individual creating something unique, their extensive selection ensures you’ll find the perfect fit.

What really stands out is the combination of advanced technology and skilled craftsmanship. Their real-time customization software and efficient inventory management system work seamlessly with their talented team to deliver precise, high-quality prints.

That said, we have to be honest about the fact that their pricing can be high for small orders. If you’re on a tight budget, you might find a local provider that can offer you a lower quote. 

Additionally, some customers have reported occasional delays during peak months (October to February), though these seem to be the exception rather than the rule.

Staff are nice and knowledgeable about their materials

“Really enjoyed my experience with Portland Ink. Very nice staff and knowledgeable about their materials. Fair pricing on source items (best I’ve seen in town so far) and super quick turnaround time. Highly recommended. Looking forward to more collaborations with them in the future.”

Always helpful and thorough in reviewing artwork

“I’ve worked with Portland Ink several times now– they have been my go-to source for getting t-shirt printing done in town for the past 2 years. They are always helpful, thorough in reviewing artwork, competitively priced, produce quality work, and accurate in projecting turnaround time (though sometimes they get it done a little faster). Big thanks to Siouxsie for excellent customer service, in particular. Very happy to be a returning customer.”
