Vacord Screen Printing and Custom Vinyl in Philadelphia

About Vacord Screen Printing & Custom Vinyl

If you are looking for apparel printing, we would be happy to fulfill your needs, creating shirts printed with your designs and to your specifications, great for your business, restaurant, school group, organization, project, band, fraternity/sorority, group events, et cetera. Uniform shirts for the employees at your business, promotional shirts for your restaurant, club shirts for school activities, shirts to raise awareness for your organization, shirts for merchandise for your band's next tour, frat shirts to mark that momentous kegger coming up, shirts to sell or give away at special events. Custom shirts can add a lot to anything you may have going on.

Please look over our Custom Printing page and contact us to get a personalized quote. Our minimum run of prints is just ten items for 1color printing, much lower than most companies in this industry, and we can do any amount of prints that you may need. And now that we do vinyl services, we can finally take care of customers that just want one custom shirt.

We use water-based and discharge Matsui brand inks only for all of our printing. We are sure that Matsui inks will be revolutionary in the industry, as they have the best qualities of both water-based and plastisol inks. What this means most for you is that the white ink we use will not crack as most water-based inks do. Waterbased inks give a soft print compared to the PVC-based plastisol ink that most professional printers use. We offer many choices in ink colors and can custom mix a color if so desired. We specialize in discharge inks. Our turn around time is usually about a week, given that the desired blank garments are in stock at a close distribution center.

If you are looking for a contract with a screen printing firm, please contact us for a contract price list. Any design firm is welcome to outsource print work to us, broadening the services offered while avoiding the investment of time, funds and effort required to learn how to successfully screen print. E-mail us and we can discuss rates for contractual work.

We originally got into screen printing, oddly enough, to save money. Needing shirts for a new noise band, we contacted a friend of a friend who screen printed, and he offered to make us 50 shirts. We didn't want that many, so we got a little screen printing kit from the artstore to do it ourselves, and it grew from there.

We have now expanded into vinyl and are very excited about its possibilities.

Screen printing is our passion and we strive to produce perfect results in everything that we do.
