About Us
In 2013, we created high quality and stylish, branded T-shirts to connect with people who enjoy the social life “LIFE AFTER FIVE” particularly people who enjoy social dancing.
After many inquiries and requests by local business owners and individuals to have their logos and family event designs screen printed or embroidered on different garments with the same high quality as the PLAQUITA casual t-shirts, PLAQUITA’s focus broadened to include helping local businesses in the Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia communities grow and prosper by providing them with outstanding custom printed apparel that helps them promote their businesses, build their brands and establish or improve their corporate images.
Since then, PLAQUITA has helped businesses and individuals add prestige to their events and family reunions with their own beautiful T-shirt and uniform designs. We have added marketing items, all kinds of signs and banners and vehicle signs. We added digital marketing services such as web design, website management and printed materials like business cards, brochures, flyers and a graphics design service to help our clients make their statements and build their brands.
Our goal was to become more than just a logo designer and t-shirt print shop. We want to be a place that offers reliable solutions to all your printing and marketing needs; so whether you’re in the market for vinyl t-shirt printing, embroidered polos, DTG printing, car wraps or any kind of digital marketing; we have the capability to offer outstanding products to promote your brand or event.
See a brief description of some of our services below.
FROM OUR T-SHIRT PRINT SHOP
Screen Printing: Our most popular printing service. We work with pride and pay special attention to every detail to make sure that we deliver outstanding work every time. Our approach to screen printing is the same regardless of the size of the order. We’re happy to run a small 6 piece, silk screen printing job for your small event or business and will do it with the same care and passion as our large-scale jobs. Need just one shirt? No problem… ask about our DTG printing (Direct to Garment) or our vinyl shirt printing.
DTG Printing (Direct to Garment): This garment printing method is one of the most flexible custom printing services we offer. Direct to Garment printing is exactly what the name implies; we use specialized garment printers to print high quality, high detail color images onto a garment. With DTG printing, there are no limits on the number of colors we can print; this makes it an ideal garment printing method, particularly, for small jobs. Also, with DTG Printing, your design will never crack and never peal.
Embroidery: Embroidered dress shirts, embroidered polos and embroidered hats are some of the most requested items from our embroidery shop. This type of custom printing adds texture and a new dimension to your design as the image has a raised look, that makes it stand out more. Embroidery is the process of adding a design to a garment by needlework, using thread of different colors. We also provide embroidered patches; a more versatile and cost effective option for our valued customers, in addition to traditional embroidery.
Heat Transfer Printing: Vinyl t-shirt Printing, DTF printing (Direct to Film) and a variety of patches and appliqués are good examples of the versatility we offer our customers through our heat transfer printing services. Some of these heat transfers are the ideal choice for our clients seeking solutions for team sports and active wear.
