The drive over the hills
From Thousand Oaks, take the 23 (Moorpark Freeway) north to the 118 east, then exit into Chatsworth. It is about 25 miles and around 30 minutes with clear roads. The 23 gets heavy at rush hour, so plan a midday pickup if you can.
If the drive does not make sense, order online and ship it. For the bigger picture on what we print, see DTF transfers in Los Angeles.
Conejo Valley orders
Thousand Oaks is the core of the Conejo Valley and the second largest city in Ventura County, with 126,966 people at the 2020 census. The orders out of here look different from the Valley's.
Biotech and corporate teams
Amgen, which started in Newbury Park in 1980, is the city's biggest employer, and companies like Takeda, Skyworks Solutions, PennyMac and SAGE Publishing also have large local workforces. Corporate teams order event shirts for 5Ks, volunteer days, offsites and product launches. These jobs usually come with a brand guide. Send exact color values and we print from your file. Keep in mind that DTF prints in CMYK, so very saturated RGB brand colors can shift slightly. Our post on CMYK vs RGB for DTF explains why.
High school sports and spirit
Conejo Valley Unified runs Thousand Oaks High, Westlake High and Newbury Park High, plus Conejo Valley High. Football, cross country, water polo and the rest generate team shirts, parent shirts and booster club merch every season. Names and numbers on the back are simple with DTF: one gang sheet, every player on it.
Cal Lutheran
California Lutheran University is based in Thousand Oaks and employs more than 1,300 people. Student clubs, residence halls and campus events order shirts in small batches. The university also hosts a Scandinavian Festival each April.
Festivals and community events
Conejo Valley Days, the city's spring festival with a carnival, and events at the Civic Arts Plaza, home to the 1,800 seat Fred Kavli Theatre, mean volunteer shirts, staff shirts and theater crew tees.
Corporate orders without the headaches
Corporate shirt jobs go smoother with a few habits:
- Get the vector logo from marketing, not a PNG from the website.
- Collect sizes before ordering transfers, so you know which transfer sizes you need. A youth or women's cut may need a smaller transfer.
- Order a few extra. Unpressed transfers keep 6 to 12 months stored flat and sealed, so spares cover new hires.
- Consider a specialty finish for a launch or anniversary. Gold foil and glitter take 3 to 5 business days and go through our specialty transfers page and contact form.
