Turning Ideas Into Wearable Art Since 2016
The story of Prints & Pieces – Lake Station’s trusted DTF printing experts
From Vinyl Beginnings to DTF Excellence
The difference was remarkable – brighter colors, sharper detail, and prints that could withstand 50+ washes without fading. We invested in the technology, learned the process inside and out, and never looked back.
Today, Prints & Pieces is Lake Station’s go-to shop for custom DTF printing. But our mission hasn’t changed: we’re still passionate about turning your ideas into wearable art and helping you stand out with quality you can see and feel.
We started about 8 years ago with simple cutter and heat transfer vinyl, learning the craft one shirt at a time. Every design was made by hand and every order helped us grow.
Back then, we were experimenting, testing different materials, and discovering what truly made quality custom apparel. Each customer taught us something new.
Each design pushed us to improve.
As the printing industry evolved, we knew we had to evolve with it. That’s when we discovered Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing.
