What Makes GMB Different?

There are plenty of ways to get a shirt printed today—from established printing companies to individuals running small print businesses on the side. But at GMB Custom Apparel, we believe there’s more to building a brand than simply putting a design on a shirt.

What sets us apart is the guidance, education, and personal attention we provide throughout the process.

Keep reading

We take the time to explain the details that make a difference in your finished product—from image resolution (DPI) and why quality artwork matters, to vector graphics, transparent backgrounds, embroidery digitization, and selecting the right printing or decoration method for your project.

You don’t have to know the technical side of printing to work with us. That’s our job.

Whether you’re starting a business, outfitting your team, promoting an event, or growing an established brand, we’ll help you understand your options, avoid costly mistakes, and make decisions that fit your goals and budget.

At GMB, we’re not just here to take your order. We’re here to help you build something you’re proud to put your name on.

GMB Custom Apparel is a family-owned, faith-driven company serving Greenville, Winterville and Eastern North Carolina — and an Official ECU® Licensed Merchandise Provider.
  • Guidance & education

    We explain artwork, garments and decoration methods so you can decide with confidence.

  • Personal, family-owned

    An independent Greenville team. Recommendations fit your goals, audience and budget, not a template.

  • Everything under one roof

    Apparel, embroidery, print, signs, promotional products and company stores from one partner.

  • Proof before production

    Nothing is produced until you approve the digital mockup and details.

Artwork terms, explainedDPI, vectorization, transparent backgrounds, embroidery digitizing and choosing a method
Image resolution (DPI)
How much detail a photo-style (raster) image holds at the size it will be printed. A small or blurry file can print soft or pixelated, so clear artwork matters.
Lesson: DPI vs PPI (GMB University)
Vectorization
Redrawing a logo as clean lines and shapes (vector paths) so it stays crisp at any size, from a hat to a banner.
Lesson: SVG vs EPS (GMB University)
Transparent backgrounds
Removing the solid background behind your logo so it doesn't print as an unwanted white or colored box.
Lesson: Transparent Backgrounds (GMB University)
Embroidery digitization
Planning the stitch-by-stitch instructions an embroidery machine follows — stitch types, direction and order. It's skilled preparation, not simply changing a file type.
Lesson: What Is Embroidery Digitizing? (GMB University)
The right decoration method
Choosing screen printing, DTF, embroidery or another method based on your design, garment, quantity and how the item will be worn or used.
