How It Works, Start to Finish
It starts with a free, no-obligation quote — reach out by phone or through the website and we'll get back to you the same day.
Once you're happy with the price, our in-house design team gets to work: refining your artwork, confirming ink colors, and preparing screens or embroidery files for production. You approve the proof before a single shirt is touched — no guessing, no "close enough." From there, our automatic presses take over, running your order at high speed without cutting corners on registration or color accuracy.
When the run is complete, every piece is inspected, packed, and either shipped directly to your door or ready for pickup at our Wilmington location. From first contact to final product, the whole process is built to be fast, clear, and worth repeating.

30+ Years of Local Craft
John started in the trade working for a small Wilmington print shop before launching Tierney Screen Printing in 1994. Three decades later, the business is still locally owned, still hands-on, and still growing.
What started as a one-person operation has become one of the most recognized names in custom apparel across Wilmington, Leland, Carolina Beach, Wrightsville Beach, and well beyond—with free shipping to Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary, Apex, and Burlington.
The mission has never shifted: produce the best possible product and treat every client like a neighbor. We've seen trends come and go, technology evolve, and the market change — but the fundamentals that built this business remain the same. Hands-on work, honest pricing, and people who genuinely care about what goes out the door.
Brands We Work With
We are proud to collaborate with exceptional local businesses, schools, and organizations across the region to bring high-quality custom apparel to life.
