Does Daylight Sales Offer Custom Screen Printing and Embroidery?

Updated

Yes. Daylight Sales describes itself as "a one stop shop for all custom screen printing and embroidery merchandise," and states that its design department can help bring your idea to reality. That means the custom service applies to your own artwork or concept, not just the railroad-themed items shown in its online catalog. To start a custom order, you'll need to contact the shop or request a design consultation, since the site's product pages handle ready-made items rather than custom quote requests.

What the custom service covers

According to the site's own description, Daylight Sales handles:

  • Custom screen printing — printed graphics on apparel and merchandise
  • Custom embroidery — stitched logos and designs
  • Design support — the design department works with you to turn an idea into a finished design

The phrase "one stop shop" suggests both the design help and the production happen in one place, rather than you sourcing a designer and a printer separately.

How custom orders differ from the online catalog

The products visible on the site are pre-designed, railroad-themed merchandise. Examples from the current new arrivals include:

Product type Example item Listed price
Trucker hats Boston and Albany Trucker Hat Snapback [Hat 9124] $23.95
Iron plates New York Central Iron Plate – Museum Series [3029B] $21.95–$25.95
Plaid flannels 4014 Big Boy Plaid Flannels [4126] $47.95–$50.95
Hoodies 4014 Big Boy Pullover Hoodie [126] $42.00–$48.00

These items use "Add to cart" or "Select options" because they're standard products with fixed designs. A custom screen printing or embroidery job doesn't work that way — you can't add a custom order to the cart without first agreeing on artwork, garment, quantity, and price. That's why the site points to its design department instead.

How to start a custom order

  1. Prepare your idea. Have your artwork, logo, or a description of what you want printed or embroidered.
  2. Contact Daylight Sales through the site to reach the design department. The site does not publish a custom-order form in the catalog flow, so use its contact channel rather than the cart.
  3. Work through the design. The design department helps translate your idea into a production-ready design.
  4. Confirm the details — garment or item, print or embroidery placement, colors, and quantity — before production.
  5. Place the order once the design and specifications are agreed.

The exact process, minimum quantities, turnaround times, and custom pricing aren't stated in the site content available here, so confirm those directly when you make contact.

What to check before you commit

  • Pricing: The catalog prices above apply to ready-made items. Custom work is typically quoted separately, so ask for a quote rather than assuming catalog pricing carries over.
  • Minimums: Custom printing and embroidery often have order minimums. The site doesn't state them, so ask.
  • Artwork requirements: Ask what file formats the design department prefers before you send anything.
  • Timing: If you need merchandise by a specific date, confirm production and shipping timelines up front.

If you just want the railroad-themed hats, plates, flannels, or hoodies shown on the site, you can order those directly. If you want your own design printed or embroidered, treat it as a custom job and start with the design department.
