Design It Stylz: Custom Screen Printing and Apparel in South Carolina

What Design It Stylz offers

Design It Stylz is a screen printing and custom apparel shop located in South Carolina that handles design work, printing, and fulfillment for individuals, small businesses, and organizations. They work with you from concept through finished product—whether you're ordering branded t-shirts for a company event, custom gear for a sports team, or one-off pieces with your own artwork.

The shop prints on apparel including t-shirts, hoodies, hats, and bags using screen printing methods. They also offer design services if you don't have artwork ready, meaning you can walk in with an idea and leave with a finished design that's ready to print. Many customers use them for event merchandise, promotional items, team uniforms, and personal projects.

Like most screen printing operations, Design It Stylz works best when you know roughly what you want—the item type, color, design concept, and quantity. They can guide you through choices like ink color, garment fit, and placement, but having a starting point makes the process faster.

  • The shop works with individual orders, small batches, and larger runs for businesses and organizations.
  • Pricing and turnaround time depend on order size, design complexity, and current shop capacity—contact them directly for a quote.

How to start a project with Design It Stylz

Contact the shop directly by phone or visit in person to discuss what you need. Have ready: the type of item you want printed, the quantity, your design or design idea, preferred colors, and your timeline. If you don't have a finished design, tell them what you're envisioning and they can work with you on that step.

Once you've discussed the basics, Design It Stylz will provide pricing and a timeline for completion. Screen printing turnaround varies based on how busy the shop is and how complex your design is—simple single-color prints on a small batch move faster than multi-color designs on large orders. Ask about rush options if you're on a tight deadline.

Payment and order confirmation typically happen before printing begins. Many shops require a deposit or full payment upfront, especially for custom orders. Confirm the shop's payment methods and policies when you place your order.

Design options and customization

You can bring your own artwork—a logo, illustration, photo, or text design—and Design It Stylz will prepare it for screen printing. If your file isn't print-ready, they can adjust it. You can also describe what you want and have them create the design from scratch, which adds time and cost but gives you a custom result.

Screen printing works best with bold, clear designs and a limited color palette. Photorealistic images or designs with many colors are possible but cost more because each color requires a separate screen. Simple text, logos, and graphic designs are the most economical choice.

You'll choose ink colors, garment colors, and print placement—front, back, sleeve, or multiple locations. The shop can show you samples of ink and garment options so you see exactly what you're getting before production starts.

Pricing and order minimums

Screen printing pricing depends on several factors: the number of colors in your design, the number of items you're ordering, the type of garment, and whether Design It Stylz is creating the design or you're providing it. A single-color print on 12 t-shirts costs far less per shirt than a four-color design on 100 hoodies.

Many screen printing shops have no strict minimum order, but pricing per item is better at higher quantities. A run of 50 shirts will have a lower per-shirt cost than a run of 5. Contact the shop with your specific order details to get an accurate quote—pricing varies too much between shops and projects to estimate here.

Design fees, if Design It Stylz is creating your artwork, are usually separate from printing costs. Ask whether design revisions are included and how many rounds of changes you get before final approval.

When to use screen printing versus other methods

Screen printing is ideal for orders of 12 or more items, especially if you want durability and a professional finish. The ink sits on top of the fabric and lasts through many washes. It's also cost-effective at medium to large quantities because the setup cost (creating screens) is spread across many items.

For very small orders—one or two custom shirts—direct-to-garment printing or heat transfer might be faster and cheaper, though not all shops offer those methods. Screen printing shines when you're ordering for a team, event, business, or organization where you need multiple identical pieces.

If your design has photorealistic detail or a huge color range, direct-to-garment printing may give better results, but screen printing remains the standard for bold logos, text, and graphic designs that need to last.

Pickup, shipping, and timing

Design It Stylz is a local shop, so pickup is typically available once your order is complete. Confirm the pickup location, hours, and whether you need to schedule a time. Some shops offer local delivery for larger orders.

If you need items shipped, ask whether the shop handles that or whether you arrange it yourself. Shipping costs and timing depend on where you're sending the order and how much it weighs. For large orders, shipping can be significant, so factor that into your budget.

Turnaround time from order placement to ready-for-pickup usually ranges from one to three weeks, depending on design complexity and shop workload. Rush options may be available at an additional cost. Always confirm the expected completion date when you place your order so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to have my design finished before I contact Design It Stylz?

No. You can describe your idea and they can create the design for you, or you can bring a rough sketch and they'll refine it. If you have finished artwork, bring that—it speeds up the process. Either way, the shop will make sure your design works for screen printing before production starts.

What's the smallest order I can place?

Many screen printing shops will print as few as one or two items, but pricing per item is higher on small orders because the screen setup cost doesn't get spread across many pieces. Contact Design It Stylz directly to ask about minimums and pricing for your specific quantity.

How long does screen printing usually take?

Typical turnaround is one to three weeks from order placement to completion, depending on design complexity and how busy the shop is. Rush options may be available. Always confirm the expected completion date when you order so you know when to pick up or expect delivery.

Can I order different sizes and colors in the same batch?

Yes. You can order a mix of sizes and garment colors in one order—for example, 10 small blue shirts and 10 large gray shirts with the same design. The shop will organize production to handle the variety. Confirm pricing, since different garment types or colors may cost slightly different amounts.

What if I want to make changes after I've approved the design?

Changes before printing starts are usually possible, though they may delay your order. Changes after screens are made are more difficult and costly. Confirm the shop's revision policy upfront and make sure you're happy with the design before giving final approval to print.
