National City Screen Printing & Custom Apparel

Serving National City Businesses & Community

295 Guys handles custom screen printing and branded apparel for National City auto dealerships, small businesses, light industrial companies, and community organizations throughout San Diego’s South Bay. We’ve been in business since 1987 — 38 years of producing quality apparel at fair prices for businesses that don’t have the budget for mistakes.

National City has a strong small-business and commercial core centered around National City Blvd and Highland Ave. The Mile of Cars — a dense stretch of auto dealerships running along National City Blvd — is one of the highest-volume auto sales corridors in California. Staff uniforms, promotional merchandise, and event apparel are steady needs across these businesses.

Local Landmarks & Apparel Context in National City

National City (zip code 91950) sits between Chula Vista to the south and downtown San Diego to the north, with the San Diego Bay on its western border. The Sweetwater District and Paradise Hills neighborhoods to the east add residential population that supports local service businesses, schools, and community organizations — all consistent buyers of custom apparel.

The Port of San Diego’s National City Marine Terminal on the bay is one of the busiest vehicle import terminals in the U.S., which contributes to National City’s deep connection to the auto industry. Auto-related businesses here range from dealerships and independent repair shops to parts suppliers and detailers — all needing work apparel.

We also serve neighboring Chula Vista to the south. Together, National City and Chula Vista form a busy South Bay market we cover from our Poway facility — about 30–35 minutes north.
