Tech Company Swag in Seattle and Bellevue | Custom Screen Printing & DTF
The best swag is the shirt or hoodie that an engineer wears to the grocery store. The worst is the one that goes straight into a drawer. Trilli Prints, based in Bellevue, prints custom hoodies, tees and polos for tech companies, startups and internal teams around Seattle and the Eastside. Drops range from a 20-person hackathon to a 500-person all-hands, there are no minimums, and a free digital proof comes before we print.

Swag people actually keep | Custom Screen Printing
Wearable swag works when the design is quieter than you think it should be.
- Keep the logo small or the idea clever. A small chest logo on a good hoodie is worn far more than a giant front print.
- Make a design for the team, not only for the brand. An inside joke, a project codename or a sprint name makes the shirt feel earned.
- Pick one garment and do it well. A comfortable hoodie in a neutral color travels better than three mediocre options.
Our custom hoodies page covers fabric and print placement in more detail.
The moments tech teams order for | Screen Printed Apparel
Hackathons and internal build weeks. Plan on one shirt per participant, plus a few for judges and organizers. These usually run 30 to 150 pieces, and the date is fixed.
Product launches. A launch shirt is a thank-you to the people who shipped it. The design often stays secret until the day, so tell us early if you need to keep the artwork confidential.
Offsites and team days. Matching hoodies or tees make a group photo look like a team. If you are ordering for a larger company event, see Bellevue corporate swag.
New-hire drops. A hoodie in the first-week kit costs little and sets the tone. Order a few extra of each size so the kit never runs out.
Conferences and meetups. Booth staff in matching shirts are easy to find and easy to remember.
Matching your brand colors | Local Screen Printing in WA
Tech brands tend to have precise colors and gradients. Direct-to-film printing handles multi-color artwork, and the proof shows how the colors look on your chosen garment before we print. Dark garments and light garments can make the same artwork look quite different, so look closely at the proof before you approve it. If you have a brand guide, send it with your logo.
Sizing a drop | Custom Screen Printing Services
Tech teams are often hybrid, so sizes are the hard part. A short form that asks for the garment and size only works best. Close it on a firm date, then send us the totals.
- Use unisex sizing as your default and add a fitted option if you want one.
- Include a few extra pieces in the common sizes for late joiners.
- Tell us if some shirts need to ship to remote teammates, and we will confirm the plan when we quote.
Timeline for a launch or offsite | Custom Screen Printing
Most orders ship in 5 to 10 business days after proof approval. The proof is the part most teams underestimate, because it needs a yes from design, marketing and sometimes legal. Start the artwork early, and if your date is close, ask about rush options when you request the quote.
Pricing | Screen Printed Apparel
Price depends on the garment, the number and size of the prints and the quantity. Pricing improves at 25, 50, 100 and 250 pieces. Ordering all your shirts and hoodies together is usually cheaper than splitting them across several small runs. Send your headcount and date through the quote form.
Tech swag questions
Can we order hoodies and tees in the same order?
Yes. Mixed orders are common. Give us the quantity for each garment and we will quote them together.
How do we keep a launch design confidential?
Tell us before you send the artwork. We can discuss how to handle approvals so the design stays inside your team.
Is there a minimum for a hackathon order?
No. There are no order minimums, so a small event is fine.
What file should we send for the logo?
A vector file (SVG or AI) is best. A high-resolution PNG also works. We will tell you if a file is too small to print cleanly.
Can you design a shirt for us?
Yes, design help is available. Share the idea and any brand assets and we will take it from there.
