Custom Apparel & Printing Service Areas in the Greater Seattle-Tacoma Area

Your Trusted Local Printing Partner Since 1977

At Northwest Custom Apparel, we don’t just ship boxes; we build community. Since our founding in 1977, our mission has been to provide the highest quality apparel decoration to the businesses, schools, and organizations of the Pacific Northwest. Originally known to our long-time neighbors as Northwest Embroidery, our 2015 rebranding to Northwest Custom Apparel reflected our growth into a full-service industrial production house.

Strategically located on the Milton/Edgewood hilltop at 2025 Freeman Rd E, we sit at the perfect crossroads between Seattle and Tacoma. This central location allows us to act as the primary hub for Northern Pierce and Southern King County. While our state-of-the-art facility is rooted in Milton, our dedicated fleet and shipping logistics ensure that we reach every neighboring community—from the industrial corridors of Fife to the tech hubs of Bellevue—with daily reliability.
