Embroidery in Grand Rapids — Custom T-Shirts, Screen Printing & DTF

Inkdnylon Promotion & Branding

Inkblanks

Grand Rapids projects range from convention crews and hospitality teams downtown to hospital departments on the Medical Mile, university programs, breweries, and makers preparing limited merch runs. Our workflow is designed for consistency across reorders: production-grade digitizing, thread matching, and documented placements ensure that a new batch of polos or caps matches the original stitching path and scale. We archive hoop settings and cap frames, which prevents drift when departments expand or a sponsor patch is added mid-season. For concierge and event staff near DeVos Place and Van Andel Arena, we prioritize clean, readable left-chest and sleeve applications that maintain a professional look under busy lighting and frequent wash cycles.

Selecting the right print method depends on art and schedule. Larger quantities with solid colors are ideal for screen printing, cured for wash resistance and handled with the correct mesh to avoid dot gain. Designs that include gradients, tiny type, or photo elements excel with DTF transfers, which deliver edge fidelity and color saturation with minimal setup — perfect for market vendors at the Downtown Market or seasonal drops tied to festivals at Calder Plaza and the Grand River waterfront. Dance and cheer groups often add rhinestones & spangle for limited runs; we stage embellishments so they complement, not overpower, the base print.

Logistics are part of the deliverable. We can kit by size for easy hand-outs, label garment bags by venue or department, and split shipments across campuses like Grand Valley State University (downtown Pew campus) and operations on the west side. Proofs include Pantone notes, placement callouts, and garment specs; brand standards and approvals are stored so repeat orders are plug-and-play. If your brewery or nonprofit needs a specific thread or ink recipe for taproom uniforms or volunteer tees, we lock that in for future consistency. Count on Inkdnylon for dependable timelines, clear communication, and production-grade results across Grand Rapids venues, campuses, shops, and events.
