Convoy Screen Printing & Custom Apparel

Serving Convoy & Kearny Mesa Businesses

295 Guys provides custom screen printing and branded apparel for businesses throughout the Convoy Street corridor and Kearny Mesa district. We’ve operated in San Diego since 1987 — 38 years serving restaurants, tech companies, auto dealers, light industrial businesses, and retail shops across the city’s mid-commercial zone.

Convoy Street is one of San Diego’s most densely packed business corridors — a mix of Asian restaurants, corporate offices, auto dealerships, and specialty retailers stretching through Kearny Mesa. The entire area generates consistent demand for staff uniforms, branded merchandise, and promotional apparel. We’ve supplied a lot of it over the years.

Screen Printing & Apparel Services for Convoy

• Custom screen printing — the right choice for Convoy businesses needing 24+ pieces. Durable, vibrant, cost-effective at the quantities most businesses order.
• DTG printing — for full-color artwork or smaller runs that don’t justify screen setup. Our screen printing vs. DTG guide breaks down when each method makes sense.
• Compressed t-shirts — our signature promotional item, unique to 295 Guys. Full-size shirts compressed into a compact, custom shape. Ideal for Convoy area trade shows, grand openings, and corporate giveaways.
• Restaurant and hospitality uniforms — we work with front-of-house and back-of-house programs throughout the Convoy restaurant corridor.
• Custom hats and caps — logo embroidered or screen printed for brand consistency.

Local Landmarks & Business Context in Convoy

The Convoy district (zip code 92111) runs through the heart of Kearny Mesa — one of San Diego’s most commercially active mid-city zones. Convoy Street itself is known throughout San Diego for its concentration of Asian restaurants and specialty food retailers, making it one of the busiest dining corridors in the county.

Beyond the restaurants, Kearny Mesa houses a significant concentration of tech companies, government contractors, aerospace firms, and auto dealerships. KM Square at the intersection of Convoy and Balboa gives the area a clear commercial anchor. Serra Mesa, Linda Vista, and Clairemont Mesa are all adjacent — we serve all of them from the same shop.

For Convoy-area businesses placing orders, our Poway shop is about 15 minutes east — a quick shot out on I-15 or SR-163. Many of our Kearny Mesa clients handle everything by phone and email and drop by when the order is ready, which keeps things efficient for busy business owners.

Custom Screen Printing in Convoy & Kearny Mesa

Screen printing is the standard for Convoy area restaurant and business uniforms — it’s durable, consistent, and holds up through commercial laundry cycles far better than digital alternatives. For a 50-piece restaurant staff order in Convoy, screen printing will cost less per unit and last significantly longer than DTG or heat transfer methods.

We offer full flexibility on print placement — front chest logo, full back graphic, sleeve prints, or collar tags. Our team handles artwork prep in-house if you need help getting your logo into print-ready format. See our design specifications for file requirements.

Why Convoy & Kearny Mesa Businesses Trust 295 Guys

Consistency matters when you’re running a staff uniform program. The worst thing that can happen is getting a batch of shirts where the colors are different from the last order, or the placement drifted. We prevent this through a documented pre-production sample process — every order gets a physical sample for your approval before production begins, so you’re never guessing.

We’re about 15 minutes from Convoy via I-15 — close enough that dropping in is easy, but most of our Kearny Mesa clients prefer to handle everything by phone and email. We make that work too. Quote, approve, pick up. That’s the loop.

38 years in business means we’ve seen every kind of printing request come through. We’re not going to oversell you on services you don’t need, and we’re not going to take on a job we can’t deliver on time. The 295 Guys story is built on that kind of straightforward dealing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Screen Printing in Convoy

Is 295 Guys close to the Convoy Street business district?

We’re in Poway, about 15 to 20 minutes east of the Convoy/Kearny Mesa corridor via I-15 South and SR-163. Most Convoy-area businesses find the drive completely manageable — and we can handle everything remotely if you prefer to skip the trip.

Can you print branded apparel for Convoy Street restaurants and businesses?

Yes, and we do it regularly. Restaurant staff shirts, manager polos, event merchandise — the Convoy Street business community is one of our consistent markets. We handle front-of-house and back-of-house uniform programs, promotional giveaways, and everything in between.

Do you offer rush orders for businesses in the Kearny Mesa and Convoy area?

Rush production is available subject to current shop capacity. Call us at 858-513-7000 to discuss your deadline. We’ll tell you straight what’s doable and what isn’t — no false promises.

What’s the best type of shirt for restaurant and hospitality staff in the Convoy area?

For front-of-house restaurant staff, we typically recommend 100% ringspun cotton or a cotton-poly blend for comfort and print quality. For kitchen and back-of-house, moisture-wicking materials hold up better through a long shift. We can walk you through the full range of options when you request a quote.
