Moose Prints Available

Moose Prints operates a specialized apparel decoration and branding facility on Rocky Ridge Road in Vestavia Hills, focusing on transforming digital brand identities into tangible merchandise. The shop handles commercial work ranging from team uniforms and corporate polos to retail-ready streetwear and promotional event garments. By integrating direct screen printing with precision commercial embroidery machinery, the production team manages both large volume corporate runs and targeted small-batch packages for regional businesses.

The workshop's technical core centers on specialized embroidery processes, particularly three-dimensional puff embroidery on structured headwear and high-density thread work on heavy knits. Embroidering curved items like the Richardson 112 trucker cap requires precise digitizing, a technical phase where graphic vectors are converted into stitch directions, densities, and underlay patterns. The production floor calibrates thread tension and needle selections to manage up to ten distinct thread colors per pass without fabric bunching or thread breaks, accommodating complex brand crests on bags, outerwear, and work shirts.

Alongside thread decoration, Moose Prints maintains dedicated screen printing capabilities optimized for ringspun cotton, heavyweight jerseys, and performance tri-blends. Package runs utilizing blanks such as the Gildan 64000 Softstyle tee rely on calibrated ink mixing and controlled squeegee pressure to achieve soft hand-feel prints that endure commercial laundry cycles. Each incoming brand asset undergoes an initial pre-flight check to verify vector line weights and small text legibility before physical proofing begins, preventing distortion during squeegee passes or high-speed stitching.

Project initiation begins through an intake review requiring specific vector artwork files such as AI, EPS, or high-resolution PDF formats, alongside exact garment quantities, color breakdowns, and decoration placements. Standard production runs typically require a turnaround window of seven to ten business days following digital mock-up and digitizing approval. Prospective clients should confirm apparel styles, target chest or cap profile dimensions, and sizing counts prior to submitting design files through the online quote portal or in-person order desk.
