A print shop with a heart for the work
Heart and Hook Apparel started with one press and a simple idea: treat every small order like it matters, because to the person ordering, it does.
Big-shop quality, small-shop care
Plenty of places will print your shirts. Far fewer will pick up the phone, fix your blurry logo, and make sure 48 hoodies show up folded, counted, and ready for your event.
That gap is where we live. We kept the personal touch of a small shop and added the equipment to back it up — automatic screen-printing presses, three commercial embroidery machines, and a DTF printer for the jobs that need full color at low minimums.
These days, a lot of what we do runs through on-demand online stores — embroidered gear that companies' teams order in one click, made on our own machines and shipped anywhere. We still print camp tees and church merch, but the heart of the shop is helping brands put their logo on their people, the same way, every time.
The name says it: the heart is the care we put in, the hook is the craft that keeps people coming back.
Made in-house
We never outsource a print or a stitch. Every shirt, hat, and patch is made by our team in Mesa.
Tell the truth
If DTF is cheaper than screen printing for your job, we'll say so — even when it's the smaller sale.
Hit the date
A deadline is a promise. Camps, games, and grand openings don't move, so neither do we.
Sweat the craft
Thread tension, ink opacity, garment feel — the small stuff is the whole job.
Everything happens under one roof in Mesa
Embroidery, screen printing, DTF, and finishing — no outsourcing, so we own the quality and the timeline from art to doorstep.
Arizona manufacturing and embroidery, under one roof in Mesa
We're a working production facility, not a storefront that sends jobs out. Here's what's on the floor and how an order moves through it.
You'll find us at 1815 W 1st Ave STE 102, Mesa, AZ 85202 — west Mesa, just off the US-60. We moved into this shop in August 2026, and it was laid out for one thing: getting custom apparel made well and out the door on time.
On the floor: automatic screen-printing presses for tee runs, three commercial embroidery machines for polos, caps, and jackets, a DTF printer for full-color work at low minimums, an ink room and screen washout, and a finishing area where every order is counted, folded, and bagged before it leaves. Nothing gets outsourced — if your logo is on it, one of our machines put it there.
An order runs the same way every time: a designer reviews your art, you approve a free mockup, and production starts. Standard turnaround is about two to three weeks once artwork is approved, and reorders run straight off the file we keep for you. Local customers pick up in Mesa; everyone else gets it shipped, anywhere in the country.
The shop is run day to day by Kyle, the owner, and a small team that has been doing this for years. We serve businesses, churches, schools, and teams across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Gilbert, Chandler, and Tucson, and ship to customers well beyond Arizona. If you're local and want to see thread colors against a real garment before you commit, come by — we're open Mon – Fri 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
