For over 35 years, Century Graphics and Sign has been a trusted name in branded apparel and custom printing across West Texas. Founded in 1990 in Midland, Texas, we’ve built our reputation on craftsmanship and reliable service. Today, we can bring that same dependability to retail clothing brands, touring musicians, marketing firms, and other print shops as a silent partner for large-volume merchandise and contract screen printing.
We handle the heavy lifting on the press so you can focus on your clients and your brand. We keep production in-house to guarantee consistent quality and on-time delivery. We are equipped for massive runs, offering traditional screen printing, in-house DTF transfers, and a specialized digital-hybrid process (Digital Squeegee) for unlimited, vivid colors.
To keep your business moving smoothly, we manage the logistics behind the scenes with retail finishing, split-shipping, and blind shipping with unbranded packing slips to protect your client relationships. We look forward to our partnership with you.
What is Contract Screen Printing?
Contract screen printing is the process of decorating apparel on behalf of other businesses. It is designed for companies that sell custom promotional items, corporate uniforms, or retail merchandise to their own clients but do not have the heavy equipment or specialized in-house setup to produce it themselves.
By outsourcing production to Century Graphics & Sign, LLC, you gain a backend manufacturing partner. While we handle production, this allows you to focus on expanding your client relationships and scaling your sales, all while delivering a dependable, high-quality product.
Our Ideal Contract Partners
We find that the businesses that benefit most from our contract services are those looking for a level of quality and attentive communication that other contract shops fail to deliver. Because we do all work entirely in-house under our own roof, we maintain total control over quality and turnaround times.
We are proud to partner with promotional product distributors, marketing and design firms, and fellow print facilities looking for contract or overflow assistance with orders over 200 pieces.
When you route your production through Century, you gain access to an experienced team capable of executing advanced techniques alongside a suite of standard B2B services:
· Simulated process and traditional screen printing
· Hybrid Printing: A process combining traditional screen printing along with a digital component (Digital Squeegee) for vivid, unlimited photo and color representation.
· DTF: A direct-to-film transfer done in-house to ensure quality control.
· Blind, unbranded packing slips on all shipments to protect your client relationships
· Split shipping and logistics management
· High-volume production lines optimized for consistency across massive runs
· Retail-ready finishing services
Are We a Good Fit?
To maintain our strict standards of quality and efficient scheduling, we establish clear operational guidelines for all contract partnerships. We require our contract accounts to meet the following criteria:
· Order Minimums: A strict MOQ of 50 pieces per design, with an average contract order volume of 150 pieces.
· Account Frequency: Continuous business history, with a minimum submission of 2 Purchase Orders (POs) per month.
· Document Management: Submitting a formal, fully detailed Purchase Order for every job, with pricing calculated directly from our active Contract Price List.
· Production Assets: Supplying print-ready vector artwork or 300+ DPI files scaled to exact print dimensions, paired with accurate garment photo mockups.
· Color Specifications: Providing exact Pantone® Solid Coated callouts for every color in the design.
If your business requirements fall outside of these contract-specific parameters, we would still love to work with you. Please head over to our Custom Apparel page for our comprehensive direct-to-consumer branding options.
