Custom T-Shirts, Polos, Jackets & More

Custom Apparel for Connecticut Businesses, Teams & Organizations

For more than 50 years, Screen Tek has helped Connecticut companies, schools, sports teams, nonprofits, and restaurants turn t-shirts, polos, hoodies, jackets, and hats into part of how their brand shows up in the world. Whether you need a dozen staff polos for a customer-facing team or a thousand event tees with mixed sizes and last-minute add-ons, we handle the artwork, the production, and the fit advice from start to finish.

What We Print and Embroider

Our shop runs three core decoration methods, and most orders use one of them — or a combination, depending on the garment and the goal:

• Screen printing — the workhorse for bulk t-shirt orders, fundraiser shirts, school programs, and any job with simple-to-moderate color counts where per-piece cost matters.
• Embroidery — the right call for polos, jackets, hats, and any garment where a stitched logo reads as more professional and lasts longer through repeated washes.
• Direct-to-film (DTF) printing — our newest production line for short runs, full-color photographic artwork, mixed garment types in one order, and tight turnarounds. Read more about when DTF beats screen printing.

Not sure which method fits your order? Our breakdown of how to choose between screen printing, embroidery, and other decoration methods walks through the trade-offs side by side.

Who We Work With

Our custom apparel customers cover a wide mix of industries across Connecticut and beyond — corporate uniforms and trade show wear for offices and B2B teams, branded staff shirts for restaurants and hospitality, team uniforms and spirit wear for schools and sports programs, healthcare workwear, charity 5K and golf tournament tees, and event giveaways. If your team or organization needs to look consistent, professional, and on-brand, we’ve almost certainly done a version of your project before.

Looking for something beyond apparel? Our custom promotional products line covers drinkware, bags, tech accessories, and giveaways that pair well with branded shirts and polos for the same event.

How to Get Started

Most orders begin with a short conversation about quantity, garment type, and decoration method — the three inputs that drive every quote. If you already know what you want, our guide on what to have ready before requesting a quote covers exactly what to bring. If you’re still figuring out the design or the deadline, we’re happy to help shape the project from scratch.

Lead times matter, especially for events with a fixed date — see our breakdown of custom apparel lead times for what to expect on each decoration method and how to avoid the rush window. For everything else, get in touch and we’ll put a quote together fast.
