The drive from Glendale
From Glendale the drive is about 25 miles. The fast route takes the 5 north to the 118 west, then local streets into Chatsworth, and it takes around 35 minutes with light traffic. Call (818) 527-8264 before you leave so you know your order is ready.
If you would rather not make the trip, orders placed before 1PM PT ship the same business day. Our page on DTF transfers in Los Angeles covers how we print and what we offer across the metro.
Glendale's mix of customers
Glendale is one of the bigger cities in LA County, with 196,543 residents at the 2020 census, and its apparel needs are just as varied.
Community and cultural events
Glendale has one of the largest Armenian American communities in the United States. Churches, schools, dance groups, youth sports clubs and family celebrations all order shirts, and many designs run in two languages. If your design mixes Armenian and Latin scripts, send fonts converted to outlines or a flattened high-resolution file so nothing swaps to a default font. Thin serif strokes in any alphabet should be at least about 1 point thick to print reliably.
Animation and creative studios
DreamWorks Animation and Walt Disney Imagineering both rank among Glendale's largest employers. Studio teams order wrap shirts and department gear the same way film crews do, and artists often want their own designs printed for conventions and pop-ups. Character art and studio logos are trademarks, so internal merch needs the studio's sign-off.
Schools and college
Glendale Unified runs four high schools: Glendale High, Herbert Hoover High, Crescenta Valley High and Clark Magnet High. Glendale Community College has served the city since 1927. Spirit wear, sports teams, robotics clubs and graduation shirts make up a big share of school orders, and they usually come with mixed youth and adult sizes. Our guide to the right DTF transfer size helps when one design has to work on a youth small and an adult XL.
Retail and pop-ups
Between the Glendale Galleria, which opened in 1976, and the Americana at Brand, which opened in 2008, Glendale has a lot of foot traffic for small brands doing pop-ups and markets. DTF suits that: print a sheet of designs, keep blanks on hand, press what sells.
Picking up in Chatsworth
- Order online. Use the gang sheet builder to fit many designs on one sheet. The gang sheet page explains how sizing works.
- Confirm it is ready. A quick call saves you a wasted trip.
- Come in. 9736 Variel Ave, Chatsworth, weekdays 10AM to 5PM.
- Press it right. 300°F, high pressure, 10 seconds, peel while hot, then press 5 more seconds with parchment or a teflon sheet on top.
Two-color and bilingual designs
DTF prints full color with no extra cost per color, which removes the main reason screen printers push you toward one or two inks. That said, a clean design with strong contrast still reads better from across a gym or a banquet hall. A few tips for Glendale event shirts:
- Put the main language large and the secondary line smaller, rather than two equal blocks competing for space.
- On black or navy blanks, use light text. DTF prints a white base, so pale colors stay opaque.
- Keep the year or date as its own line so you can reuse the rest of the design next season.
