A useful brief for a historic commercial district
Custom apparel for an Old Colorado City idea or program
Old Colorado City has a distinctly historic, independent-business character that suits a wide range of custom-apparel requests: shop merchandise, hospitality and service staff pieces, creative-event garments, and small-group orders. The best starting point is to define how the apparel will be seen, used, and reordered.
ARK serves Old Colorado City from Colorado Springs. The quote form is built for the details that change production decisions: artwork, garment, coverage, quantity, colors, print locations, and the calendar behind the project.

02 · WELCOME
Hospitality and service staff apparel
A public-facing staff program benefits from clear role variations, logo treatment, garment durability, care expectations, and a reliable reorder framework.
03 · OCCASION
Creative events and group pieces
For a gathering or creative program, define the date, artwork status, quantity, sizes, print locations, and any special distribution needs.
Start with the intended experience
What makes an Old Colorado City quote specific
The most compelling custom pieces keep the brand or event idea connected to the garment, print method, and day-to-day use.
- Artwork reference and intended visual feel
- Garment preference and colorway
- First-run count, sizes, and future reorder outlook
- Print coverage and placement requirements
- Launch, event, or handoff timeline
Quote-first workflow
How an Old Colorado City apparel idea becomes a production plan
- Share the concept, artwork, and known production details.
- ARK reviews the garment and print-method options that fit the intended use.
- The quote, art prep, and proofing path are set before the run is scheduled.
- After approval, ARK produces the garments in Colorado Springs and confirms fulfillment details.
Choose the finish after the brief
Select a print finish with the merchandise goal in mind
A subtle soft-hand illustration, a vivid full-color graphic, a durable staff mark, and a detailed embroidered treatment do not ask the same thing of a garment. Use the project brief to compare the finish that supports the desired experience.
Use the quote form to describe the project. These service pages can help you understand the production conversation before you submit it.

Yes. Include every print or embroidery location, artwork version, and garment group in the request.
How do I prepare art for a retail garment?

One shirt or a thousand — no minimum.
Screen printing needs a screen made for each ink color, so it starts at 24 shirts — that's where it pays off. Under 24, we print with DTF: no screens, no setup, full color, even for a single shirt. Tell us your quantity and we'll recommend the right method — you don't need to know which one you want.

I had a great experience working with ARK screen printing! Communication was excellent—Alex was very quick to respond and always open to any adjustments I needed along the way. The whole process felt easy and collaborative, which I really appreciated. The final shirts turned out exactly how I wanted. I would definitely use his services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work and great customer service!
Bella O'Brien, rated 5 out of 5 on Google
I had gone online to request a quote for a couple shirts and left it as that, Alex called me to follow up on the quote and to me the call itself showed such great customer service and we talked about what I wanted, I decided to move forward with the purchase of my shirts and so glad I did! I highly recommend for anyone looking for custom shirts :)
