Del Mar Screen Printing & Custom Apparel

Serving Del Mar Businesses & Events

295 Guys handles custom screen printing and branded apparel for Del Mar businesses, event organizers, boutiques, and the hospitality venues that line the area’s coastal corridor. We’ve been in business since 1987 — 38 years serving North County San Diego, including Del Mar’s distinct blend of upscale retail, hospitality, and major event venues.

Del Mar operates at a different register than most San Diego neighborhoods. The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club draws a wealthy, brand-conscious audience for most of the year. The Del Mar Fairgrounds hosts the San Diego County Fair — one of the largest state-qualifying fairs in California. Camino Del Mar’s boutique corridor caters to an affluent demographic. Our quality and pre-production sample process are designed precisely for clients who can’t afford a misprint.

Screen Printing & Apparel Services for Del Mar

• Custom screen printing — best for Del Mar orders of 24+ pieces. The most durable, vibrant option for volume apparel.
• DTG printing — for full-color or photographic artwork, or smaller-run boutique merchandise where per-piece quality matters more than per-piece price. See our screen printing vs. DTG comparison.
• Compressed t-shirts — our proprietary promotional product. A full-size shirt in a compact, giftable form — perfect for Del Mar event gift bags and hotel amenity packages.
• Custom t-shirt packaging — retail-ready folding and packaging for Del Mar boutiques and premium gift sets.
• Custom hats — the Del Mar racetrack crowd loves a quality branded hat. We handle structured and unstructured styles.

Local Landmarks & Apparel Context in Del Mar

Del Mar’s two major event venues define a significant portion of the local apparel market. The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club at 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd is home to the summer thoroughbred racing season, which runs July through Labor Day. The Del Mar Fairgrounds on Via de la Valle hosts the San Diego County Fair (the former “Del Mar Fair”), concerts, trade shows, and the National Horse Show.

Between the two venues, Del Mar generates millions of event attendees per year — and with that comes consistent demand for event staff uniforms, vendor merchandise, sponsor activation apparel, and promotional giveaways. This is an area where our compressed t-shirt product works particularly well — small enough for a gift bag, full-size when unrolled.

Del Mar (zip code 92014) sits between Carmel Valley to the east and Solana Beach to the north. We serve all three communities. Solana Beach and Encinitas clients often reach out to us for the same reason Del Mar clients do — premium quality without a premium runaround.

Custom Screen Printing in Del Mar

For most Del Mar orders, screen printing delivers the best combination of quality and durability. At the volumes that event organizers and hospitality businesses need — 50, 100, 500 pieces — screen printing is cost-effective and produces results that hold up through a full season of use.

We offer a full range of print placement options including front chest, full back, sleeves, and collar labels. Artwork is reviewed before production — our team catches alignment, color, and resolution issues that would otherwise result in a reprinted order. See our design specifications if you’re working with existing files.

Why Del Mar Businesses Trust 295 Guys

Del Mar clients choose us because we have a process that eliminates the main sources of custom apparel failure — unexpected color shifts, placement drift, and miscommunicated artwork. Our pre-production sample is the fix for all three. Before your order runs, you see the actual garment with your actual artwork, produced on our actual equipment. Approve it, and we run the full order to match.

We’re about 25 minutes from Del Mar — a short drive south to our Poway facility on I-15 or down I-5 and east on CA-56. For larger Del Mar event orders, we can coordinate delivery. Our 38-year track record speaks to the consistency of what we produce — and we back it with the Free Sample Program for first-time customers.

What to Expect: The 295 Guys Process

Del Mar clients follow the same process as every other 295 Guys customer:

Frequently Asked Questions About Screen Printing in Del Mar

Can 295 Guys handle apparel orders for Del Mar Racetrack events or the San Diego County Fair?
