Your ONE STOP Custom Apparel Printing Factory
Printed in the U.S.A since 1987
When you work with Smoothreads, you're getting decades of obsession with excellence. You're getting a team willing to dive deep into your brand's soul, understand what makes your community tick, and create something that becomes part of your legacy.
It happens all the time—beautiful brands, passionate communities, and incredible stories are reduced to average, mediocre, forgettable T-shirts that end up as car wash rags. I physically react every time I see a disappointing attempt. I know what branded apparel should be. I've been proving it since 1987.
Look, if you're just satisfied with average, ordinary promotional gear, we're probably not your people. But if you believe your brand deserves something extraordinary – something that becomes a coveted part of your community's connection and collection – then let's talk.
Why it Matters
When I founded Smoothreads, it was with a radical idea: branded apparel should be art. Not just something you wear, but something you treasure. Something that captures the magic of what makes your brand special. Something your community fights to get their hands on before they're all gone.
I've seen the sparkle in a fan's eyes when they first lay hands on one of our pieces. That moment when they realize this isn't just another t-shirt – it's a piece of their story. A connection to something bigger than themselves. That's what gets me up in the morning.

Collaborating to Understand Your Vision
Our process? It's thorough. We start by digging deep to uncover the heartbeat of your brand. Then our award-winning artists (and I mean seriously awarded) translate these key elements into designs that'll take your breath away. Schedule your Masterpiece Blueprint Session with me. Let's explore what's possible when you refuse to settle for the ordinary.
Exceptional Art
Bringing Your Ideas to Life
This isn't about putting ink on fabric—anyone can do that. This is about creating wearable classics that tell your story. Working with some of the most talented specialist artists in the country, we transform your brand into pieces that become instant collectibles—the kind of gear people proudly show off, carefully preserve, and pass down to the next generation.
Superb Printing
Quality That Speaks
for Itself
When it comes to the actual creation, we use techniques and materials others won't, because that's what your brand deserves. We’ve been at the forefront of technical artistic excellence for decades. Our skilled and passionate workers are craftsmen at their trade. What we do isn’t easy. If it was, everyone would be doing it. This is why so many printed garments just fail.
