                  We specialize in screen printing, embroidery, DTF printing, finishing services (tagging, fold & bag, labeling), and merch fulfillment. Every order is produced in-house at our Orange County facility for speed, quality, and reliability.
                    
                    
                      Do you handle both small and bulk orders?
                    
                    
                  
                  Yes. Merchcraft handles everything from small custom runs to scaled bulk orders, producing consistent results whether it’s dozens or hundreds of pieces. Our in-house team works to maintain quality at every volume.
                    
                    
                      What types of apparel can I print on?
                    
                    
                  
                  We can print or embroider on T-shirts, hoodies, polos, hats, jackets, uniforms, and more. If you’re looking for custom apparel in Santa Ana, we have you covered.
                    
                    
                      What are the benefits of your fulfillment services?
                    
                    
                  
                  We have a full time staff for fulfillment, and can add people when needed. With a team dedicated to shipping out orders, we can get orders out fast with accuracy.
When shipping a huge bulk production order to you directly, you have to pay a high cost for shipping. Keeping the items at our facilities saves you that cost and time.
Screen Printing
 
              
                    
                    
                      How is screen printing different from other methods?
                    
                    
                  
                  Screen printing presses ink through a mesh stencil onto fabric, creating durable and bold designs. It’s effective for orders where color consistency and durability matter.
                    
                    
                      Do you offer full-color screen printing?
                    
                    
                  
                  Yes. We support multi-color printing that allows for detailed, vivid designs ideal for branding and merch drops.
                    
                    
                      Is screen printing cost-effective for bulk orders?
                    
                    
                  
                  Absolutely. Screen printing in Santa Ana is ideal for bulk orders because it delivers consistency at scale.
                    
                    
                      What sizes or placements can you print?
                    
                    
                  
                  We offer standard and jumbo print sizes, with flexible placement options depending on the garment.

                      What’s the difference between embroidery and DTF printing?
                    
                    
                  
                  Embroidery provides a stitched, textured finish; DTF offers vivid, full-color designs with fine detail.

                  Hats, polos, jackets, and uniforms are all popular choices for embroidery in Santa Ana.
                    
                    
                      Can embroidery and DTF be used together?
                    
                    
                  
                  Yes. Many clients combine embroidery with DTF or screen printing for a complete apparel line.
                    
                    
                      Do you handle embroidery in bulk?
                    
                    
                  
                  Yes. Our in-house team manages embroidery for large orders while keeping details sharp and consistent.
