School spirit looks better when the gear lasts. A custom t-shirt from your first club. A hoodie that survived midterms and move-out. A hat that still shows up at reunions, embroidery holding strong.
Students and alumni take pride in repping custom college apparel on campus, in the stands, and long after graduation. Our team treats those marks with respect: sharp type, true color, thoughtful placement. We collaborate with you to build merch that feels solid on day one and years later.
Each piece of custom college merch is printed in our Portland studio with soft-hand water-based inks and blanks we trust. No shortcuts, just gear that earns its spot. If you’re a bookstore, an alumni group, or a student org, we’re ready when you are.
Complimentary PANTONE® matching on every order. We’re officially licensed to match your ink to official PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM colors.
Quality gear connects students, alumni, and the campus itself. It’s a freshman’s first buy and a senior’s last. The right pieces stick around…a fleece that goes everywhere, a hoodie that outlives finals, a beanie that shows up every winter.
Our makers can help your team build the right custom college apparel, pieces that stay in rotation long after graduation.
Your school’s marks deserve that kind of treatment.

Working with Dorothy at Rendered was very easy and pleasant. I ordered 60 shirts for special event and they came out beautifully. Everyone is very happy with their shirts and I am very happy with the service and pricing we got from Rendered. It was also a good feeling to order from a local company who uses Eco Print water based inks. I will return to this company for any future printing needs.

I'm so glad I found Rendered.co! Nate and Dorothy were so friendly and helpful. Nate walked me through all the options for material and guided me to a beautiful heavy weight cotton shirt that feels both durable and luxurious for a t-shirt. Dorothy was incredible guiding me through the process of design and ordering. It was like Christmas morning when my shirts were delivered. They are stunningly printed and very high quality. These folks do a great job and I absolutely recommend working with them for screen printing!

I've had the opportunity to work with Nate & his team on multiple projects over the last 2 years. They are some of the kindest people you will meet. Nate was always willing to help us look over our designs, give tips on what can be done, help order samples, and our order was always done on time. The quality of all our items are an easy 10/10.

I have had the pleasure of working together with Rendered Co. on many projects for my church since 2021, and I have personally recommended them to many people, as their service is genuinely unmatched. They are a pleasant team, respond quickly, and have answered every question or odd request that I have had for printing merch. Whether there is a hiccup on our end, or theirs, they have always gone far above and beyond to make sure we have everything we need, and on time. In the past 5 years of getting to work with Rendered, their work has not only matched my expectations as a designer and client, but I have also gained so much respect for the effort behind this company, and Nate the owner of Rendered.

Dorothy and the team were incredibly helpful, quick with responses, and made the entire process seamless. The check in once we got our merch was the cherry on top! Working with small businesses is a risk I'm usually willing to take, and I'm so glad I did with the Rendered team. We will definitely stay clients for the future. Work with them!!!

My wife and I help run Queer Pickleball NYC! After three years of organizing we got a push to make merch. Many places we looked at felt not personalized enough from the creative to the production. We wanted to make sure our community was funding a small business and after a few weeks of research we came across Rendered! From the inception of creating the merch to the logistics we felt supported by Dorthy and the team. We are excited to continue our merch partnership with Rendered! Really high quality product and the color on the Ts is perfect!

Great SEO led us to find Rendered all the way from the Seattle area for our new jiu-jitsu academy opening. The online design studio has the most flexible placement options we've found, they carry our favorite premium garments like Bella+Canvas and Stanley/Stella, flexible minimums make it easy for small businesses, and the team is fast to respond and incredibly accommodating. If you're a small business in the Pacific Northwest looking for a custom merch printer with a strong design tool, highly recommend. Fast shipping as well!

Crafting custom college apparel involves careful planning. You want your design to be perfect and ensure your school is represented well. We expect questions during the ordering process, so we've compiled answers to the ones we hear the most while we’re assisting customers with their ord
School spirit doesn’t stop at one style. You can mix different blanks (hoodies, tees, hats, bags) in the same order with the same print as long as they’re the same type of product.
Basically, If you want two kinds of shirts, we’ve got you. If you want a hat and a tote bag, we’ll do two separate orders.
Whatever custom college apparel you’ve got in mind, we’ll get your mark on it. Still have questions? We’d love to chat.
Water-Based Screen Printing - Soft, breathable, and no plasticky feel. Works great for bold art and simple text. Embroidery - Crisp stitching that pops on cotton twill, corduroy, or hemp. Perfect for logos and details that last. Still on the fence? We’ll help you choose the method that makes your college mark land just right.
Pricing depends on the blank and the print, but if you’re ordering custom college t-shirts, expect to spend a little more for quality that lasts. At Rendered, we stick to the best blanks: shirts that print clean, fit right, and hold up. Most land between $14–22. When in doubt, AS Colour is a good place to start.
Yes. We can create socks, towels, bandanas, flags, and more adorned with your college mascot or logo.
Absolutely. Rendered is damn proud to screenprint using only true water-based inks. Many studios use plastisol inks, but never us. That means it’s better for your skin and ours and the environment.
And, we choose blanks built to last so they don’t hit the landfill after a semester. At Rendered, we’re not about green-washing, so our studio team is happy to walk you through the most eco-friendly blanks and decoration options.
It varies but usually 3 to 4 weeks. Every product page has the details, and we’ll keep you in the loop if anything shifts. Need something rushed? We’ll always do our best to work within your timeline. Reach out, and we’ll see what we can make happen.
Custom pieces are made just for you, so we generally don’t take returns — unless there’s an issue on our end. If that happens, we’ll make it right.
Always. You arrange your art how you want it, then we send a pre-production PDF mockup for your final approval. Our team also checks your art and order details before anything goes into production.
Yes. In our studio every ink is mixed to an official PANTONE color at no charge, with screen setup and digitizing included. On promotional products we cover PANTONE matching whenever the decoration method allows it, and setup is always included.
Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF) are ideal, but high-resolution PNG works too. Our team cleans up your art before production.
