Looking For Screen Print in Las Vegas? Here Are 10 Things You Should Know Before Placing Your Order

You've got a business to run, and the last thing you need is a headache from your custom apparel order. Whether you're ordering staff uniforms, event shirts, or promotional gear, navigating the Las Vegas screen printing scene doesn't have to be complicated.

At Game Over Merch, we've been printing custom apparel in Las Vegas since 2013, and we've seen every mistake in the book. Here are 10 things every local business owner should know before placing their next screen print order.

1. Screen Printing Has a Minimum Order (And That's Actually Good News)

Let's get this out of the way: screen printing requires a minimum of 24 pieces. If you need fewer shirts, you'll want to look at other printing methods like DTF (Direct to Film) or DTG (Direct to Garment).

But here's why minimums aren't a bad thing, screen printing is the most cost-effective method for bulk orders. Once the screens are made, every additional shirt costs significantly less. If you're ordering team uniforms, event merchandise, or company swag, screen printing gives you the best bang for your buck at quantities of 24 or more.

2. "We Are The Factory" Means Better Quality and Faster Communication

Not all print shops are created equal. Some companies outsource production to third-party facilities, which adds time, cost, and potential quality issues to your order.

At Game Over Merch, everything is printed in-house. We control every step of the process, from pre-press and screen making to printing and quality checks. This means:

• Faster turnaround times because we're not waiting on another facility
• Consistent retail-quality results on every order
• Direct communication with the people actually printing your gear
• Better problem-solving if adjustments are needed

When you work with a shop that handles production in-house, you're working with people who can actually see and touch your order, not just relay messages to someone else.

3. Forget the Storefront, We're All About Efficiency

We don't have a public office or walk-in counter, and that's by design. Game Over Merch operates exclusively via phone and email, which keeps our team focused on what matters: getting your orders printed and delivered on time.

This approach eliminates distractions and allows us to move faster. You can reach us during business hours, get your quote, approve your design proof, and track your order, all without sitting in traffic or waiting in line.

4. Turnaround Time is Generally 1-3 Weeks (Plan Accordingly)

Screen printing isn't an instant process. Between design approval, screen preparation, printing, curing, and quality control, you're looking at a typical turnaround of 1 to 3 weeks.

Here's the reality: if you need shirts for an event next Tuesday and you're calling on Monday, you're too late. But if you give us a couple of weeks, we'll deliver retail-quality apparel that actually represents your brand well.

Pro tip: Need shirts for an annual event? Order early and keep a few extras in stock. You'll thank yourself later.

5. Free Local Delivery is Included (Yes, Really)

One of the perks of working with a local Las Vegas print shop? We offer free delivery throughout the Las Vegas Valley: North Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, and everywhere in between.

No surprise shipping fees. No waiting at the loading dock. We bring your finished order right to your door, so you can focus on running your business instead of coordinating pickups.

6. Not All Apparel is Created Equal

You'll see a massive range in t-shirt pricing: from ultra-cheap Gildan shirts to premium Bella+Canvas and name-brand options like Nike or Under Armour. The difference? Quality, fit, and how long the garment lasts.

At Game Over Merch, we focus on retail-quality apparel. These aren't cheap promotional throwaways: they're shirts people will actually want to wear. Whether you're dressing your team or handing out branded merch at an event, quality matters.

We'll walk you through the options based on your budget and goals, but our recommendation is always the same: invest in apparel that reflects well on your brand.

7. Your Design File Matters More Than You Think

You don't need to be a graphic designer to order custom apparel, but having a clean, usable design file makes a huge difference. The best file formats are vector files (.ai, .eps, .pdf), but high-resolution PNG files work too.

If your logo is a blurry JPG you pulled from your website, we'll let you know before printing: because the last thing anyone wants is a pixelated logo on 50 shirts.

Don't have a design file? Many local print shops (including us) can help recreate or clean up your artwork. Just ask before placing your order.

8. Screen Printing Works Best for Simple, Bold Designs

Screen printing excels at reproducing spot-color designs: think solid colors, bold text, and clean graphics. It's perfect for logos, team names, and simple artwork with 1 to 4 colors.

If your design has tons of fine detail, gradients, or photographic elements, you might be better off with DTF or DTG printing. Not sure which method to choose? That's what we're here for. Send over your design, tell us what you're trying to do, and we'll recommend the best printing method for your project.

9. Experience Matters in the Las Vegas Print Market

Las Vegas is a competitive market for custom apparel, and not every shop has the experience or capacity to handle your order properly. Game Over Merch has been printing locally since 2013, which means we've worked with hundreds of businesses just like yours.

We know what works, what doesn't, and how to troubleshoot issues before they become problems. Whether you're a restaurant ordering chef coats, a construction company needing hi-viz gear, or a gym launching branded merch, we've done it before: and we'll get it right.

10. You're Not Just Buying Shirts: You're Investing in Your Brand

Here's the thing: cheap shirts with sloppy printing don't just look bad: they reflect poorly on your business. When you hand someone a piece of branded apparel, you're making a statement about who you are and what you stand for.

At Game Over Merch, we focus on helping local Las Vegas businesses get the best results without the headache. Retail-quality apparel, in-house production, reliable turnaround, and free local delivery. No gimmicks, no surprises: just great custom printing from a team that's been doing this for over a decade.
