Our Mission is to increase women’s participation and opportunity in trail running and hiking through inspiration, education and empowerment.
The Trail Sisters Print Shop offers water based screen printing. We print apparel, tote bags, hats & more!
Vinyl pressed hats offer a great value for small runs of custom hats. These are best for 1 or 2 color designs with uncomplicated graphics.
When you place a screen print or hat order you can add die-cut transfer stickers at a very competitive price!
SCREEN PRINTING
HEAT TRANSFER
Water-based screen printing inks are soft, breathable and soak into the fabric! They are the desired ink for a “soft-hand” when screen printing. This is great, especially when printing a lightweight or technical garment.

Screen Printing involves a lot of specialized equipment and processes that can add up. For someone not familiar with screen printing these can be confusing.
The most common add-on charges are Design Fees & Screen Fees. Design Fees are due to the time it may take to properly set up your graphic to be printed on a transfer. Screen Fees are based on the number of screens that may be required for your print job.
Design Fees are based on your requirements and may vary.
Screen Fees may be included on multi-color prints or orders under 48 total prints.
If additional fees apply they will always be noted clearly on your order confirmation.
The Process:
Chasing down payments on completed and already shipped orders is time-consuming and costly. In order to offer competitive pricing we:
Payment is accepted by Credit Card, Wire Transfer or Check.
Generally a screen printer will have a 24 unit minimum for a 1 color print and an additional 24 units for each additional color added to the print. (3 color print = 72 units).

Vinyl Heat Transfers are an awesome simple way to add a graphic or logo to a hat. Typically these are best in 1 color designs although it is possible to do 2 or 3 color graphics. They work best for simple artwork that does not require too many small or tiny features.
We generally use Otto Trucker hats. They come in a variety of colors and offer both a Standard and Petite (youth) size. Additionally we like pressing vinyl on some of the more technical Richardson Hats. Contact Us to discuss options!
Vinyls come in a variety of colors. We have about 30 colors on hand and, depending on the size of your order are happy to order any speciality color available. Once we know a color or pantone to match we will let you know the best available option.
We will ship your order UPS Ground unless otherwise instructed.
