Now for some of the most highly-rated screen printers in Queen City: Charlotte, NC.
REAL THREAD
Okay, so maybe you know, or you don't. BUT Real Thread is based in sunny Orlando, FL.
You may think, "Wait, this is an article about Charlotte, NC… right?"
That is correct. HOWEVER- we ship nationwide. We’ve helped many businesses in Charlotte, NC, including Queen & Cotton.
SO… Let us be the first to tell you that Real Thread is here to be your one-stop shop for all things custom apparel.
Real Thread screen prints with water-based inks. These inks are superior to the industry standard ink (plastisol ink). What's the main difference between the two?
Instead of coating the shirt with a thick layer of plastic, water-based inks dye the garment directly with your print. The ink soaks into the garment's fibers, dying your design INTO the shirt instead of onto it. This results in a super soft and long-lasting impression (literally AND figuratively).
Real Thread also offers embroidery, fulfillment, and a wide range of add-on services that set us apart from your average print shop. We even have glow-in-the-dark ink that'll make you say "OOOH" and "AHH" and things of that nature.
INK FLOYD
The Ink Floyd mission is to add momentum to your brand and sustainably grow your business.
They screenprint and embroider but also offer services like creating branded items such as vehicle wraps, signage, and sticker printing.
