Serving Stuart from our Fort Pierce shop

About 25 minutes south of our Fort Pierce shop on US-1. Everything is printed in-house — screens, press, dryer, embroidery machines, and vinyl cutter all under one roof at 4796A S US Hwy 1. Nothing gets brokered out to a third party, which is why we can answer a question about your job without calling someone else first.

Stuart runs on tourism, and merch follows

Downtown Stuart, Port Salerno, and the marinas move a lot of visitors, and visitors buy shirts. A restaurant or charter boat with a decent logo can turn a rack of tees into real margin — and unlike the rest of your inventory, it does not spoil.

Build a small first run in the editor so you know your exact cost per shirt before you set a retail price. Screens stay on file, so the reorder after it sells through costs less than the first one.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to come to the shop?

No — most Stuart customers never do. Build your order in the online editor, see it on the actual garment, order it, and pick up or have it shipped. Shipping is calculated from your ZIP at checkout.

You are welcome to come in, and plenty of people do once on a first order to handle the blanks. Nothing about the process requires it.

How fast can I get shirts in Stuart?

Standard turnaround is 5–10 business days. Rush runs 24–72 hours depending on the size of the run. Put a hard deadline in the job notes when you order and we will confirm in writing whether we can hit it before producing anything.

How do I get a price?

Build the job in the online editor and the price appears as you go. Change the quantity, ink colors, garment, or print locations and the number updates immediately.

There is no quote form and nothing to wait for. Most people have a real number inside two minutes.

What is the minimum order for screen printing?

15 pieces per design. Screen printing has fixed setup work — burning screens and registering the press — that happens whether you order 15 shirts or 500.

Need fewer? Switch the method to DTF in the editor. No minimum, full color, and a single shirt is a normal order.

What does it cost?

Three things move the price: quantity, ink colors, and which blank you pick. More pieces and fewer colors means less per shirt. Screens are a one-time $30 per color, and we keep them on file so reorders skip that charge.

Rather than quote ranges at you, the editor prices your exact job live.

How long does it take?

Standard turnaround is 5–10 business days. Rush runs 24–72 hours depending on the size of the run and what is on the press schedule.

Hard deadline — a game, an opening, a shift change? Put it in the job notes when you order and we will confirm in writing before we produce.

Can you match my exact brand colors?

Yes. We mix plastisol to Pantone (PMS) numbers. Set your ink colors in the editor, and if you have official PMS codes put them in the job notes so we match to those rather than to our best guess.

What file formats do you accept?

Screen printing: PNG only. DTF, embroidery, and sublimation: PNG or JPG.

You upload the file directly in the editor and see it land on the garment immediately, so you know it worked before you order.

Why does screen printing only take PNG?

Because a JPG cannot store a transparent background. It fills transparency with white, and on press that white becomes a printed white box around your design. PNG keeps the background genuinely empty and holds the hard edges each screen needs.

If all you have is a JPG for a screen print job, send it to sales@a1aprintshop.com and our art department will convert it properly.

My artwork is a PDF / AI / EPS / a sketch. Now what?

That is what sales@a1aprintshop.com is for. Send whatever you have — vector files, a PDF, a photo of something drawn on paper — and our art department turns it into a print-ready file.

Once it is ready you will have a PNG you can drop straight into the editor and order like anything else. The email route is for artwork only; ordering still happens in the editor.

Do you ship, or do I have to pick up?

Both. Free local pickup at the Fort Pierce shop. We ship nationwide, and shipping is calculated from your ZIP at checkout so nothing gets added afterward.
