Local Threads

Local Threads is a husband-and-wife screen printing and embroidery shop in Columbus that decorates apparel and gear with clients' logos and artwork. It outfits offices and startups, construction and trade crews, schools and sports teams, nonprofits, and restaurants and retailers, from event tees and fundraiser shirts to polos, jackets, patch hats and uniform programs.

All printing and stitching happens in house, using plastisol, water-based or discharge inks to suit each garment. The shop also sources promotional products such as drinkware, bags, pens and gift kits and brands them to match a client's apparel. Customers can get a quote, use an online price calculator or lay out artwork in a design lab, and each order gets a digital proof before printing. Standard runs take five to ten business days, with pickup at the shop or delivery.
