Printed with purpose
What we do.
How each one works, and what moves the price. Not sure which service suits your vision? Stop by, or give us a call.
Screen printing
Ink pushed through a fine mesh screen, one screen per color. The setup is the slow part; after that the hundredth shirt costs barely more than the twenty-fifth, which is why it wins on price as soon as the numbers climb.
It suits bold, flat artwork — logos, lettering, block color. Gradients and photographs are possible, but they’re usually a better job for DTF.
Every color in a design needs its own screen, so a three-color front costs more to set up than a one-color front — but the same three-color front on four different garments is still one setup.

Embroidery
Stitched rather than printed. It looks more permanent and more formal, which is why it belongs on caps, polos, jackets and bags. We turn your design into a stitch file once, and every reorder after that comes out identical.
Stitch count guide
Stitch count is the total number of stitches in a design. More stitches means more detail and more coverage — and more time on the machine, which is why it drives the price.
1,000 – 5,000
Best for small, simple designs
Cleaner on small items. Best for simpler logos with less detail.
Ideal for
- Left chest logos
- Hats & beanies
- Sleeves
5,001 – 10,000
Good for moderate detail
A good balance of detail and coverage. Works well for most standard logos.
Ideal for
- Left chest logos
- Hoodies
- Bags & jackets
10,001 – 20,000
Great for high detail
Allows for more detail, fine lines and denser coverage without losing quality.
Ideal for
- Back designs
- Large chest logos
- Hats
20,001 – 40,000
Best for complex designs
High detail and full coverage. Perfect for complex logos and intricate designs.
Ideal for
- Back patches
- Full back designs
- High detail logos
40,001+
Maximum detail & coverage
Ultra-detailed, photorealistic designs with maximum coverage. Uses more stitches and may take longer to produce.
Ideal for
- Statement pieces
- Jackets & backs
- Premium designs
Stitch count affects pricing, production time, and how a design looks on different garments. When in doubt, we'll help you find the right balance.
DTF transfers
Direct-to-film. The design is printed onto a film, backed with adhesive, and heat pressed onto the garment. No screens, no separations, no setup per color — which changes the maths completely on short runs and on artwork that would need six screens to print.
It’s the honest answer for full color work — photographs, gradients, worn textures, anything with more colors in it than you’d want to pay to set up. It’s also what lets us print a run of one, or twelve shirts with twelve different names on the back.
And it presses onto fabrics screen ink argues with — polyester, performance blends, nylon bags. If a job has a mix of cotton tees and moisture-wicking jerseys, DTF keeps them looking like the same order.
The trade-off is per-piece cost. DTF does not get dramatically cheaper as quantity climbs the way screen printing does, so past a certain point on a simple design, screens win. We will tell you where that line falls for your job rather than quietly choosing the one that suits us.

Team uniforms
Names, numbers and full rosters for schools, leagues and club teams. The awkward part of a uniform order is never the printing — it is the size run and the roster, and getting both right the first time.
Send us the roster with sizes and numbers and we will build the order from it. Youth sizes, extended sizes and the one player who needs a 3XL are all normal here.
Promo products
Bags, drinkware, stickers, banners and the rest of the table at your next event. If it can be decorated, we can usually source it.
Catalogs run to thousands of items, so the fastest route is to tell us the budget, the quantity and roughly what you have in mind, and let us come back with two or three options.
How pricing works
We price every job rather than putting a list on the wall, because four things move the number and a list that ignored them would be wrong more often than right. Here’s what they are. Whatever we quote is what you pay, unless the order changes.
Getting your design ready
There is a one-off charge to set a design up, and you pay it once no matter how many shirts it goes on. The same logo on tees, hoodies and ladies tees is one setup, not three — so putting a design on a few different garments costs less than people expect.
Then a charge per piece
After that there is a charge for each garment, for each spot the design goes. Front and back is two spots. Front only on twice as many shirts is simply twice as much.
The shirt itself
Garments vary a lot — a basic tee and a heavyweight hoodie are not close in price. We will show you a few options in your range rather than picking for you. Bigger sizes cost us a little more, so they cost a little more on your quote too.
How many you need
This is the big one. Because the setup is paid once and then shared across everything you order, the price per shirt drops a lot as the number goes up. Fifty shirts are not four times the price of twelve. Small orders are welcome — just know the per-shirt price will be higher, and we will tell you where the jumps are so you can decide.
Sending artwork
Email it to info@legacyscreenprint.com. The better the file, the better the print — but do not let a bad file stop you calling. We will tell you what we can do with it.
Send whatever you have
A photo on your phone, a screenshot, a drawing on paper, or an old shirt you want matched. We work from all of it. You don’t need a designer.
Only got it in your head?
Tell us what you’re picturing and we’ll draw something up for you to look at. Plenty of orders start as a conversation and nothing else.
If it needs redrawing, we will say so
Some images are too small or too blurry to print well. When that happens we redraw them properly. There’s sometimes a charge for it, and we’ll tell you what it is before we start.
Colors
Roughly is fine — navy, forest green, the same red as your logo. If you have exact color codes we’ll match them. If not, we’ll pick and show you before anything is printed.
Not sure what
you need?
Tell us what you’re trying to do. We’ll work out which way of printing suits it, what it’ll cost, and how long it takes.
