Your Crew, Kitted Out in Lyman no portal required
You have got eight guys starting Monday and nobody has a shirt with the company name on it. Send us a logo and a headcount. We handle the rest from the Greenville Upstate.
Custom Workwear and Shirt Printing for Lyman, SC
A crew lead does not have time to build an account, upload art, guess at a size run and then wait on a support ticket. That is why most people hunting for custom t-shirt printing in Lyman end up calling a person instead of fighting a website. Tell us the headcount, the trade, and where the logo goes. Printed Essentials is a family owned shop in the Greenville Upstate, run by Moe, and it started with shirts for our own church. Now a good share of what leaves here is workwear for crews across Lyman and Spartanburg County.
Most work shirts go out of here as DTF prints. Direct to film lays a tough, flexible layer of ink onto cotton, poly and blends, which matters when your guys wear whatever is clean that morning. Anything with a collar is better stitched, so embroidery handles polos, jackets and hi vis shells. A sewn left chest mark does not crack or wash out the way a cheap transfer does. Screen printing is available on qualifying bulk orders, typically from 48 pieces, and that is where the price per shirt really drops. DTF and embroidery in Lyman SC both start at 12 pieces.
Electrical, HVAC, plumbing, roofing, landscape and concrete crews order the most from us around Lyman. So do pest control routes, cleaning companies, towing outfits and mobile mechanics who need one clean look on a driveway. Beyond the trades we print for churches and ministries, nonprofits, schools, teams and booster clubs, restaurants, retailers and event organizers. The reason lines up across all of them. Somebody needs a stack of company shirts or custom hoodies by a real date, and they want one number to call when a size is off or a new hire shows up.
Placement is where people get it wrong. Left chest for the logo, sized so a seatbelt is not scrubbing it all day. Full back for the company name and phone so it reads across a job site. We keep your art, sizing and thread colors on file, which means the guy you hire in March walks out matching the crew you kitted in January.
What We Put on Your Crew
Six things cover almost every order that comes in from a Lyman shop, a trailer, or a jobsite office. Mix them however your crew works.
Work T-Shirts, Printed DTF
Cotton, poly or blend tees with your logo on the left chest and the company name across the back. DTF ink flexes with the fabric, so it survives hot washes and a truck bed full of tools.
Hoodies and Crewneck Sweatshirts
Cold morning layers your guys will actually keep. Heavyweight hoodies and crewnecks printed or stitched with the same mark that is on the shirts, so the crew still matches in January.
Embroidered Hats and Beanies
Structured caps, trucker styles, rope hats and knit beanies with a stitched front logo. Hats take the worst beating on a site and embroidery is the only finish we trust to hold up on them.
Embroidered Polos and Workwear
Polos, button downs, work jackets, softshells and hi vis pieces with a sewn left chest logo and a name if your foremen want one. Thread colors get matched once and saved for every reorder after.
Bulk Screen Printing
For big single runs, screen printing on qualifying orders from around 48 pieces up. Fewer colors and higher counts push the per shirt cost down hard, which is the play for a full company rollout.
Event and Fundraiser Apparel
Safety day shirts, charity runs, jobsite anniversaries, church events and booster club sales. We can print a one time run for a date, or set up a design you sell to raise money.
What People Say After the Boxes Land
"Where I get all the embroidery and printing done for my company. Love the quality! Unbeatable prices too."
Elias Acevedo"Could not be happier with this business! The quality of the shirts is top notch and the design came out exactly how I wanted."
Angela Danielsen"Moe was awesome. Great communication and got the order done quickly. We are very happy with the results."
Joseph KellerThe Stuff Crew Leads Actually Ask
Four honest answers before you pick up the phone, because nobody wants to find out the bad news after they have already paid.
I only need eight shirts
Then we are not your shop yet. The minimum is 12 pieces on DTF and 12 on embroidery, and it is 12 because of setup, not because we want to squeeze you. Round up and keep the extras for new hires. You will use them.
New hires never match the old crew
That happens when a shop rebuilds your art from scratch every order. We save the file, the print size, the placement and the thread colors after your first run. Reorder six months later and the shirts drop in beside the originals without a fight.
My logo is a bad phone photo
Send it anyway. Most logos that reach us are a screenshot, an old truck decal photo or a business card scan. We tell you straight whether it will hold at print size and clean it up or rebuild the marks that will not.
I do not have time to babysit this
You will not have to. One call or one email starts it, you get a proof to look at, and after you approve it the job runs 5 to 7 days. No account to set up, no portal password to reset, no ticket queue.

Lyman Workwear Questions, Answered
Yes. Hi vis tees, long sleeves, polos and outer layers all run through here. Embroidery is the usual choice on vests and jackets because stitching handles the material better, and DTF works well on hi vis knit shirts. Tell us if your site has a specific class requirement so we source the right garment before we quote you.
Typical turnaround is 5 to 7 days after you approve the proof, and the proof usually comes back quickly once we have your logo and headcount. The clock does not start until approval, so the fastest thing you can do is send art and sizes together in your first message. Orders ship or get delivered.
It depends on the garment, the count and whether it is printed or stitched. Embroidery is priced on stitch count, so a simple mark costs less than a detailed one. DTF is priced on print size and quantity. Send your logo and how many pieces you need and you get a real number, not a range.
Yes. There is no walk in storefront. We work out of the Greenville Upstate and serve Lyman, Duncan, Wellford and the rest of Spartanburg County by shipping orders or delivering them. Everything gets handled by phone and email, which is faster than driving across the county to look at a proof anyway.
You can, and most crews do. The minimum applies per decoration method rather than per style, so 12 DTF pieces could be a mix of tees and hoodies with the same print. Embroidered hats and polos count together on the stitching side. We lay it out on the quote so nothing surprises you.
