Rush Custom T-Shirts
Rush Custom T-Shirts When Your Date Cannot Move
Events do not wait. When you need custom shirts fast, The Printing Needle offers rush production in as little as 24 to 72 hours after proof approval and ships nationwide with tracking.
Rush orders go wrong when the clock starts before the art is ready. That is why we move fast on the proof: send your artwork and sizes, and we turn around a free mockup quickly so you can approve it the same day. Production time starts at proof approval, and we track every rush job personally, so your order never sits in a queue.

The Printing Needle is a great place for embroidery orders, and they will accept any order no matter how small. Efficient, friendly, and professional service. My order turned out great.
