Direct to garment printing puts unlimited color on as few shirts as you want. Best for 1 to 12 pieces: a gift, a sample, a small crew. No 24 piece minimum, no compromise on the art.
Print a short run →Boca Rio Ink was founded in Imperial Beach in 1999, and the first plan really was sketched on a napkin. More than twenty years later we are still family run, still printing every job ourselves, and when you call the shop a real person picks up.
Schools, teams, cities, nonprofits and businesses across the South Bay come back season after season. That is the whole business model: do the shirt right and they call again.
Art file, sketch or napkin. All of them work here. Our in-house artists clean it up or design it from scratch.
You see exactly what prints before anything hits the press.
Most jobs run in 7 to 14 business days. Pick up at the shop on Palm Ave.
