How is the design printed, and will it match the mockup?
We print every order after it’s placed using professional heat-press equipment and plastisol transfers. Everything is printed, packed, and shipped by us in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, just outside Philadelphia. Size and placement match the digital mockup, and colors are shown as closely as possible, but screens and garment shades can shift a bit.

Yes, especially for NYC fans, recent movers, proud locals, or anyone who’s always talking up their favorite city. The bold letters and heart make it easy to wear year-round for birthdays, holidays, and trip memories.
