Services
You provide the artwork (your logo, text or other info) and we scale it and format it for printing on the garment.* We then set up the garment for direct printing, seal the ink with a heat press and you're on your way. The DTG can automatically mix and print up to 16 million colors in a photo-quality resolution of up to 600dpi.
What can we embroider on? OK we're reaching with those last few but you get the idea. And what can we embroider? Anything from text (names, monograms, slogans, web addresses) to graphics both simple and complex. In fact we have a catalog of over 5000 stock designs covering 25 different categories like sports, animals and holidays.
The best thing about offering custom designs to our customers is that we can offer several different options for imprinting on apparel and other items. One of those options is vinyl transfers. While vinyl transfers are most commonly used for things like logos and numbering on team jerseys, they can be used for virtually design or fabric.

Great quality and fast service. I came to him a few days before Christmas with a design idea for some gifts. He was very helpful in tweaking the design to ensure the best result and had it done very quickly. It was very affordable and the gifts were a hit. It's run out of his garage so don't be confused when your navigation takes you to a house.

Some friends came to town last week to get engaged, and I was asked to take photos of the proposal. I found out a week before they were coming, and decided to make a picnic basket for them to enjoy after the proposal. I found David online, and asked if he would be willing to stitch a monogram I had bought off of Etsy onto some napkins for the basket.
He not only fit me into his very busy week, but helped me figure out thread color and got the napkins done in record time. They turned out beautifully, and they were the first thing my friends noticed when they opened their basket and they loved them. David was very professional, punctual and fairly priced. Would recommend.

I only have good things to say about David! The reviews are correct. He did my aprons in two days! His only hold up was me changing the design several times. He helped me every step of the way, to getting the aprons just the way I wanted them. From placement of the design, to colors. I was so pleased with the way they looked! I will use him for every item I need completed. Thank you so much David!

David was great to work with! I emailed him with a project I needed done, and I immediately got a response back. I needed a tote bag embroidered, and not only did he do a fabulous job, but he also had the bag ready for pick-up by the next morning. (Just a head's up, he's able to embroider as long as the bag is not waterproof, and it's $14 for 6 in of text.) Of course the turnaround time will vary with what you are working with, but I think the Yelp consensus is that David works fast!
He has a wide selection of different fonts and thread colors, and the quality that he puts into each project is truly evident. I was very impressed with the finished project.

I have had some really frustrating printing experiences but this was not one of them. Dave is super fast, friendly and does quality work. I contacted him about having some t-shirts made and he made me a sample shirt for free! It came out great. I will definitely be using him to have my shirts printed. He can also do eco printing and has organic shirt options.

I have been going to Odd Designs for over 2 years now. I've printed four t-shirts using the DTG (Direct to Garment) process. Last week I picked up a sample shirt for a fundraiser I'm doing and it was perfect, I've already gotten so many bites. David D. was very helpful and gave me several shirt options. He is always friendly and continues to give me quality work at reasonable prices and not to mention. speedy turnaround.
I don't understand these bad reviews. They haven't specified why their experience was bad - don't believe the b.s. I will continue going to Odd Designs and telling all my friends/coworkers about them - they're amazing. Keep up the good work, fellas.

Thanks to David at Odd Designs for helping with embroidering a jacket. He went out of his way to expedite my order and had it finished within hours, well before when I needed it done. So impressive, considering it was just one piece for such a great price. He took all my phone calls, last minute changes, and over all annoying customer traits with a smile and helpful attitude. I will definitely come back when we do a bigger order next time.

I was very satisfied with the way my order was handled with Odd Designs. A couple of days before Christmas I was desperate to find somone who could customize some towels I bought my father for the holidays without it taking days or having to expediate the order by paying extra. I searched Yelp, found Odd Designs and gave them a call. Dave answered the phone and he answered all my questions and told me he could get the order done quickly.
Happy with my interactions with him on the phone, I went over to his place and dropped off my towels. Before you know it, I had the perfect customized gift for my dad and it was so well done. The stitching was nice and durable and I can tell it will be able to hold up the wear and tear of a washing machine. Thank you Dave for a quick turn around and quality work!
A side note for those who come to Odd Design, due to the rise in rent Dave is currently working from out of his home, but that doesn't deter from the quality of the work. I'll support a local business over a big box store any day with the competative prices he offered. I will be using Odd Designs for all of my custom jobs.and I do have a wedding coming up where I needs my bridesmaid gifts personalized.hmmmm :-

Odd Designs is great. Dave is awesome. I've used Odd Designs for several projects and the service, quality and turnaround time have been above par everytime. It's hard to find a print shop that actually loves what they do and from my experience here, I know they care about each job no matter how big or small. thank you dave.

I wanted to get some shirts embroidered for a fishing tournament that was a week away. I went to a place on Mission Blvd, but the guy was pretty arrogant and would only let me choose from the few fonts that he had for his machine. I started to shop around and found Odd Designs. They were helpful over the phone and found me the font style that I wanted, eliminated any design fee that every places charges.
They were easy to talk to over the phone, I sent me ideas over email and they were fast to respond with their proofs/samples. I am sure that I'll use them again and I'll upload a pic of their work. It really came out clean. Thanks.
