Screen Printing in Meridian, ID — No Minimums, No Setup Fees
A wrestling coach from Kuna walked in last March needing 14 warm-up shirts before a regional tournament that weekend. Most shops would've turned him away or quoted him a 24-piece minimum. We had them done in time. That's the short version of what we do at Eagle Ridge: screen printing in Meridian with no minimums, no setup fees, free digitizing on your first run, and rush 24-hour turnaround on in-stock blanks. Five shirts is a real order here. So is 500.

Rush 24-hour turnaround. Available on most orders with in-stock blanks. If you've got an event Friday, call us Wednesday and let's talk. The number is contact us.

Screen Printing vs. DTF vs. Embroidery — Which One Do You Need?
Screen printing isn't always the right answer. Honestly, sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't, and we'll tell you which way to go based on your actual design and garment rather than pushing you toward whatever's easier for us.
Screen Printing
Best for bold, simple artwork — logos, text, block graphics with limited colors. The ink bonds directly to the fabric and holds up wash after wash. It's the right call for team uniforms, event shirts, staff apparel, and anything you're ordering in quantity.
DTF Printing
If your design has a lot of colors, gradients, or photo-level detail, DTF (Direct to Film) printing is usually the better move. Full-color artwork, no color restrictions, no minimums. It's what we use for one-offs and small custom runs where screen printing doesn't make economic sense.
Embroidery
Custom embroidery is what you want on polos, hats, and jackets when the finished product needs to feel premium. The texture is different from any printed method. It's not right for everything, but when it's right, nothing else comes close.
Not sure which way to go? Send us your design and we'll point you in the right direction, no charge for the advice.
What Does Screen Printing Cost Near Boise and Meridian?
Pricing transparency is something a lot of print shops dodge, so here's a straight answer: it depends on quantity, number of print locations, ink colors, and garment type. But here's the general shape of it.
On small runs of 1–12 pieces, the per-shirt price is higher because setup time is the same regardless of quantity. We don't pad it with setup fees, though, so you're not getting hit twice. Medium runs of 12–50 pieces are the sweet spot for screen printing — that's where quality, price, and turnaround all line up well for teams, clubs, and small businesses. At 50-plus pieces, volume pricing kicks in and the per-piece cost drops significantly, making screen printing one of the most cost-effective decoration methods you can use at scale.
The fastest way to get a real number is to send us your design and project details. We turn quotes around quickly, and we won't make you wait two days for an automated estimate.
Who We Print For Around the Treasure Valley
We had 60 black polos out the door in 9 days last spring for a local financial services branch in Eagle. The week before that it was 8 shirts for a retirement party in Nampa. This is what a typical week looks like.
We print for local businesses in Meridian, Boise, and Eagle that need staff uniforms and branded apparel. We do youth and adult sports teams from Nampa, Kuna, and Caldwell — practice shirts, fan gear, whatever they need for the season. Schools and PTAs running spirit wear shops come to us regularly. Event organizers who need a batch of shirts fast for a race, festival, or corporate event call us because we can actually hit the deadline. Nonprofits and community groups on tight budgets get the same pricing and same quality as everyone else. And yes, if you just want three shirts and you don't want to buy 24, you can order three.
If you're in the Treasure Valley, we're your shop.

Frequently asked
How much does screen printing cost per shirt in Meridian?
Per-shirt pricing depends on quantity, ink colors, and garment choice, but Eagle Ridge charges no setup fees and no per-color prep charges — what's quoted is what you pay. A small run of 12 shirts on a standard blank typically lands in the $12–$18 per-shirt range.
Can I really order just a few shirts with no minimum?
Yes — Eagle Ridge has no order minimum on most jobs, so two shirts or twelve are treated as real orders. The per-unit cost is higher on small quantities, but there's no floor that turns away a small crew or a last-minute event order.
How fast can Eagle Ridge in Meridian turn around a rush order?
Rush orders on in-stock blanks are available with 24-hour turnaround — reach out to confirm blank availability before you count on it for a Friday event. Standard orders without a rush flag typically ship or are ready for pickup in 5–7 business days.
