Sawyer's Screen Printing and Embroidery

What Sawyer's Screen Printing and Embroidery does

Sawyer's Screen Printing and Embroidery is a privately held, family-owned custom apparel decoration business headquartered in Delmar, New York (10 Hallwood Road), with a second, planned full-service location in Asheville, North Carolina that is presently listed as 'coming soon'. Founded in 2005, the firm has operated continuously for over twenty years in contract screen printing and embroidery. Its service portfolio comprises four lines: custom screen printing, custom embroidery on apparel and accessories (bags, shirts, hats, jackets), custom vinyl banners with grommets, and imprinted promotional products sourced through supplier catalogs including Sanmar, Charles River, S&S Activewear, and Pennant Sportswear. Production runs on conventional screen printing and embroidery equipment, supplemented by an in-house artwork department that prepares print-ready files and can create logos from scratch.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer services model. Orders are initiated through an online quote form on sawyershirt.com capturing company, contact, preferred location, service type, approximate quantity, artwork, and due date. Pricing is quote-based and varies by garment style, quantity, print locations, and color count; the firm enforces a 12-piece minimum on screen printing and embroidery and offers volume discounts at breakpoints of 24, 48, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000+ units. A separate e-commerce storefront at sawyerssamplestore.itemorder.com supports direct sales of pre-decorated merchandise. The firm promises a standard two-week turnaround from order confirmation and provides free local delivery within a 15-mile radius of Delmar, while fulfilling orders nationwide for customers outside that radius.

The customer base is horizontally segmented across local businesses, nonprofits, schools, sports teams, and community organizations (custom branded merchandise, team uniforms, event apparel), individual consumers (small-quantity personal orders), and corporate clients (bulk orders). Marketing is website-driven, with the quote form as the primary lead-capture mechanism and no disclosed paid digital or social media activity. Sawyer's is bootstrapped — no institutional funding, no patents, no certifications, no management team disclosures, and no named customers or third-party revenue data appear in the available sources — leaving all brand-building, capital allocation, and operational decisions centralized within family ownership.
