Shallotte Gun T-Shirts

Highlighting Shallotte Gun: A Custom Screen Printing Project with Coastal Flair

When Shallotte Gun in Shallotte, NC, approached Mr. Postman Print Shop for custom t-shirts, we knew this project was going to be special. The goal was to create a design that celebrated the outdoor spirit of the community while showcasing iconic coastal imagery. The result? A stunning three-color design on heather red shirts that combined artistry, functionality, and local pride.

Design Details
The t-shirts featured an intricate college-style print on the back that included three key elements:

• A Fishing Boat: Representing the vibrant coastal culture of Shallotte and the love for saltwater fishing.
• Sportsmen Shooting Clay Targets: A nod to the hunting and shooting traditions that bring outdoor enthusiasts together.
• The Famous Frying Pan Shoals Tower: This iconic structure off the North Carolina coast added a unique, local touch that resonates with the community.

To keep the design cohesive and visually striking, we utilized a three-color palette that popped against the heather red background, balancing boldness with subtle texture.

The Printing Process
Our team utilized the Workhorse Sabre automatic press to achieve precise, vibrant results. Here’s how we brought the design to life:

1. Artwork Preparation: Collaborating with Shallotte Gun, we refined the intricate details of the fishing boat, sportsmen, and tower to ensure they translated perfectly onto fabric.
2. Screen Setup: Each color required its own meticulously prepared screen to ensure seamless registration and sharp details.
3. Printing: The Sabre press handled the complexity of the multi-color design with ease, layering the colors accurately for a crisp, professional finish.
4. Quality Control: Every shirt was inspected to ensure flawless alignment, vibrant colors, and no ink smudging or inconsistencies.

Why Heather Red?
The heather red t-shirts were the perfect choice for this project. The textured look of the fabric provided depth and a rustic feel, aligning with Shallotte Gun’s outdoor branding. Additionally, the red served as a bold yet complementary backdrop for the multi-color design.

The Final Product
The completed t-shirts were a hit! From the fishing boat to the iconic Frying Pan Shoals Tower, the design captured the essence of Shallotte’s outdoor culture. The shirts are not only visually appealing but also durable and comfortable—perfect for a day out fishing, hunting, or enjoying the great outdoors.
