About Newark Tees

Redefining Custom Apparel with Newark Roots and Tech-Driven Innovation

At Newark Tees Printing Co., we’re on a mission to transform the way custom apparel is made, ordered, and delivered. What began as a small-scale T-shirt shop in Newark’s historic Ironbound neighborhood has evolved into a cutting-edge design studio serving businesses, schools, and creators across the country.

Our journey started with a simple idea: create high-quality, branded apparel and accessories while keeping the process personal and accessible. From our early days of screen printing for local businesses to our expansion into direct-to-garment (DTG) printing and embroidery, we’ve stayed true to our Newark roots—dedicated to craftsmanship, community, and collaboration.

Growing with Innovation on the NJIT Campus

As we grew, so did our vision. Today, Newark Tees Printing Co. operates as part of the New Jersey Innovation Institute (NJII), located on the NJIT campus. This partnership places us at the crossroads of creativity and technology, allowing us to harness the resources of a leading research and development hub while staying connected to Newark’s vibrant local culture.

Being part of NJII means we’re not just about custom apparel—we’re about innovation. Our systems integrate technology at every stage, from online ordering to production and delivery, ensuring a seamless experience for our customers. Whether you’re a small business or a national brand, we’re equipped to scale and meet your needs with speed, quality, and transparency.

Tech-Driven, Customer-Focused

We’ve built a smarter, faster, and more transparent way to order custom apparel. Our approach blends tech-enabled systems with a human touch:

• Self-Service Online Platform: Place your order, upload your artwork, and review digital proofs—all from your device.
• Real-Time Updates: Stay in the loop with automatic email and text notifications throughout the process.
• Fast Turnaround: With our streamlined operations, most orders are completed within 3-5 days.
• Simplified Shipping: Local delivery partnerships ensure fast, trackable service right to your door.

Staying True to Newark

While technology drives us forward, our Newark roots ground us. Located in the heart of New Jersey’s innovation hub, we’re proud to represent a community known for its resilience and creativity. Our mission is to not only redefine custom apparel but to show what’s possible when innovation meets craftsmanship.
