New Wave Graphix has been screen printing custom t-shirts, hoodies and workwear in Redwood City for over 20 years. Everything is printed in-house on our American-made M&R automatic press, so we control the quality, the schedule and the details.
We print for businesses, schools, sports teams, nonprofits, events and families across the Bay Area, from a dozen shirts to thousands of pieces. And when you're up against a deadline, we've turned orders around overnight for conferences and events. Call us with your date and we'll tell you honestly what we can do.
Quality you can count on
We've spent over 20 years perfecting our screen printing process, and it shows in how long our prints last. Some of our earliest customers still wear the shirts we printed for them years ago, and the prints still look good.
Not every print is made to last. A rushed or poorly made print can crack, peel or fade after a few washes, and we've seen it happen to shirts from other printers, even ones sold in high-end stores. We don't accept that for our customers.
So we test our work for durability and pay close attention to the details on every print job, from setup to the final check. As a family-owned shop, our name is on every shirt that leaves our door.
Two ways to print your shirts
Screen printing · 12 pieces and up
The classic, long-lasting print for team shirts, staff uniforms and event tees. Each ink color gets its own screen, so it's the best value as your quantity goes up.
- Starts at 12 pieces
- Bold, durable ink
- Best price per shirt on larger orders
- Specialty inks like glitter
Full-color DTF · 1 piece and up
Need one shirt, a few with different names, or a photo-quality design with lots of colors? Direct-to-film (DTF) prints full color with no screen setup.
- No minimum
- Unlimited colors & photos
- Names on every shirt
- Great for samples & small runs
Not sure which one fits your order? Tell us the quantity and the design and we'll recommend the method that looks best and costs least.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for screen printing?
Screen printing starts at 12 pieces. If you only need one shirt, we offer 1-piece minimums on full-color shirts using high-quality transfers and direct-to-film (DTF) printing.
Can I get just one custom t-shirt?
Yes. For single shirts or very small runs we print full color with transfers and direct-to-film (DTF), so there is no screen setup.
Do you print hoodies, polos and workwear too?
Yes. We screen print t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, polos and workwear for businesses, teams and events. You can choose styles from our apparel catalogs.
Can you help with my design?
Yes. Send us print-ready art, or our in-house graphic designers can create or clean up your design before we print.
Do you offer rush screen printing?
Yes. We have turned orders around overnight for conferences and events. Rush availability depends on the quantity, the garments and our production schedule, so call us with your deadline and we will tell you what we can do.
How much does screen printing cost?
It depends on the quantity, the number of ink colors, how many print locations you need and the garment you choose. The price per shirt drops as the quantity goes up. Quotes are free.
