Mallory Print provides bulk apparel printing, custom screen printing, custom embroidery, custom t-shirt printing, DTF printing, and spirit wear production for businesses, event organizers, schools, and entertainment venues in Arlington, TX. Our four-generation family-owned production shop is located in Joshua, TX — about thirty-five to forty minutes from Arlington — and the Mallory family has been producing apparel in North Texas since 1961.
Arlington is one of the largest cities in the Metroplex and one of the busiest event markets in Texas. The Entertainment District around AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, Six Flags Over Texas, and Choctaw Stadium drives a constant stream of event-driven apparel orders. UTA’s campus and surrounding businesses, the city’s AISD school district, the medical and professional services corridors, and Arlington’s massive event calendar add up to a city where bulk printing capability matters more than almost anywhere else in the Metroplex.
Bulk apparel printing is the largest order category we produce for Arlington. Major events, conferences, conventions, charity 5Ks and walks, festivals, and entertainment-adjacent venues regularly need 500, 1,000, 2,000, and 5,000+ piece runs of custom printed apparel. We screen print Arlington bulk orders on cotton, blend, and performance blanks, matching garment specs to use case — softer ring-spun for premium event merchandise, mid-weight cotton for general event giveaways, performance shirts for 5K and run events.
At 1,000+ pieces, per-shirt screen printing cost drops dramatically compared to smaller runs. Arlington event organizers benefit from bulk pricing scaling, multiple garment color and size combinations on the same run, and predictable two-week turnaround from artwork approval. For events that need name personalization on top of a printed logo, we combine screen printing for the main design and DTF or vinyl heat transfer for individual names.
Custom screen printing covers the mid-volume side of Arlington’s apparel needs — restaurant promotional shirts, retail brand campaigns, small business event apparel, gym and fitness studio branded gear, church and community group event shirts. Our screen printing services handle 1-color through 8-color designs, standard plastisol and water-based inks, and specialty inks (soft-hand, athletic, metallic) for Arlington brands wanting a premium finish.
Custom embroidery serves Arlington’s medical, dental, professional services, real estate, financial, and service business community. Arlington medical district professionals, UTA-area businesses, downtown firms, and service operations along Cooper Street and Collins Street all order embroidered polos, button-downs, jackets, and caps as their default branded apparel. Popular Arlington embroidery garment lines include Port Authority, Nike Golf, Cutter & Buck, Carhartt for trades, and Richardson caps across nearly every industry. Embroidery digitizing is included with first orders; minimum is 12 pieces per design.
For Arlington jobs, the method decision depends mostly on quantity and design type:
wins for runs of 24+ pieces with 1 to 6 solid colors. Lowest per-shirt cost, most durable finish, best for bulk events.
wins for smaller runs, full-color photographic designs (commemorative event shirts with photos, memorial shirts), and one-off custom pieces. No minimum order.
For Arlington event and bulk orders, screen printing almost always wins on cost. For commemorative, photo-based, or small-run orders, DTF printing is the better fit.
AISD spirit wear is a steady production category. Arlington High Colts (kelly green and white), Lamar Vikings, Martin Warriors, Bowie Volunteers, Sam Houston Long Tall Texans, and Seguin Cougars all have active booster groups, PTAs, supporter organizations, and athletic programs that order spirit wear through our shop. For AISD booster runs of 24+ pieces, screen printing produces the best per-shirt pricing and the most durable finish for shirts and hoodies that get actual game-day use.
Custom t-shirt printing handles Arlington’s volume of 5K, charity walk, fundraising, and community event work. Arlington’s calendar of charity runs, breast cancer awareness walks, fun runs, and bike rides drives steady demand for soft-hand performance t-shirts that runners and walkers actually want to keep. We print these on lightweight blends and ring-spun cotton with soft-hand or athletic inks that don’t feel like a screen print after the first wash.
