Centreville sits about twelve miles east of the shop, fifteen minutes outside rush hour west on I-66. For most of our Centreville customers that means ordering online and having it arrive before a national supplier would have finished printing it.
Centreville and the Fairfax County side of the line lean toward school spirit wear, travel sports teams, and side businesses selling on Etsy or at weekend markets. That last group cares most about turnaround: the design sells on Sunday and the film needs to be pressed by Wednesday.
What we print for Centreville customers
- DTF transfers by size — order one transfer or two hundred, priced by the inch, no minimum.
- Build your own gang sheet — arrange several designs on one sheet in the browser and pay once.
- Upload a finished gang sheet — if you have already laid your artwork out, send the file as-is.
- UV DTF transfers — waterproof decals for tumblers, glass, signage and other hard surfaces.
- Custom printed apparel — we press it onto the blank for you if you would rather not.
Pickup or shipping from Centreville?
Twelve miles each way through I-66 traffic is usually worse than waiting a day. Order before 3 PM EST and ground shipping from Gainesville typically lands the next business day — but pickup is there if you would rather not wait.
Collections are from 7699 Limestone Dr. #100, Gainesville, VA 20155. Call or email before you set off so we can confirm your order is off the press and boxed.
The cutoff, in plain terms
Order before 3 PM EST on a business day and we print and ship the same day. Order after it and the job goes out the next business day. Printing and dispatch together run 24–48 hours; delivery time on top of that depends on where in Centreville you are and which service you pick.
Press settings
If you are pressing the transfers yourself, these are the settings we print for:
- 310°F / 155°C platen temperature
- Medium pressure
- 12–15 seconds press time
- Peel hot or cool — either works
- Re-press 5 seconds after peeling to lock the print in
Pressed and cared for this way, the print is built to survive 100+ washes. Not sure the finish is right for your blanks? Order a free sample pack, press it, wash it, and decide before you spend anything.
Questions we get from Centreville
Is there a minimum order?
No. A single transfer is a perfectly normal order, and it costs the same per inch as a large one.
Can I bring my own blanks?
You can press our transfers onto anything you like — cotton, polyester, blends and nylon all work. If you would rather we press them, order from the print shop instead and we will print and press in one go.
Do the transfers work on black shirts?
Yes. Every design is laid down over a white ink underbase, so colors stay opaque on black, navy and other dark fabrics rather than going translucent.
How long can I keep an unused transfer?
Months. Keep them flat, cool, dry and out of direct sunlight and they will press as well as the day they were printed — useful if you are printing a season's designs in one go.
