Stand Out. Shine Bright. Print Bold.

At Port City Apparel, we don’t just print shirts — we create wearable art. Our specialty ink options are designed to give your custom apparel that extra edge, whether you're looking to turn heads with texture, glow at night, or shimmer in the sun. Explore the premium techniques below and bring your next project to life with our expert screen printing services.

Puff Print

Add Dimension with Texture
Puff ink expands when cured, creating a raised, 3D look that adds real texture to your designs. Ideal for bold graphics and retro-inspired logos, puff printing gives your apparel a unique, tactile finish that stands out from traditional flat prints.

Perfect for: Streetwear brands, throwback logos, standout designs.

Jumbo Print

Go Big or Go Home
We’re one of the few shops in the country that can handle jumbo prints up to 23" tall or 21" wide. This allows us to print larger-than-life graphics that dominate the front or back of your garments. If you want to make a statement, jumbo is the way to go.

Minimum Order: 144 pieces
Perfect for: Festivals, athletic wear, full-coverage art.

Foil Printing

High Shine, High Impact
Foil printing adds a flashy, mirror-like metallic finish to your apparel. We apply a thin sheet of foil over a special adhesive ink, then heat-press it to perfection. The result? Eye-catching designs that shimmer and reflect light like nothing else.

Available Colors: Gold, Silver, Rose Gold, and more
Perfect for: Music merch, fashion drops, boutique brands.

Metallic Ink

Subtle Shimmer, Durable Shine
Metallic inks provide a similar sparkle to foil but with more flexibility and wash durability. This specialty ink blends metallic flakes into the base, delivering a smooth, shiny finish that won’t crack or peel over time.

Available in: Gold, Silver, Copper, and custom blends
Perfect for: Logos, uniforms, and bold branding.

Glow in the Dark

Light Up the Night
Make your designs come alive after dark with glow-in-the-dark ink. Ideal for night events, Halloween drops, or just something totally different, this ink charges under light and glows in low-light environments.

Colors: Standard green glow; custom colors available
Perfect for: Events, clubs, themed merchandise.

Reflective Ink

Be Seen, Be Safe, Be Stylish
Reflective ink is both functional and fashionable. This specialty ink reflects light—like headlights—making it great for safety wear and urban apparel. It’s especially popular in activewear and workwear for its visibility and cool aesthetic.

Perfect for: Running clubs, construction crews, streetwear brands.
