    Services

    Services APC provides to Austin fitness

    DTF is the workhorse for Austin fitness. Performance fabrics across running, cycling, and training apparel reject water-based inks and traditional screen printing — DTF bonds cleanly and delivers full-color detail on polyester, nylon, and performance blends. Screen printing handles cotton and cotton-blend race shirts. Embroidery on the Tajima TMAR K1508C handles coach polos, staff caps, and premium pieces. Promo supports race packet giveaways, sponsor activations, and event swag.

    The APC difference

    Why Austin running clubs and gyms choose APC

    DTF for performance fabrics

    Most decoration methods do not work on 100% polyester or nylon performance fabrics. DTF does. APC runs DTF on a Roland system built for full-color performance fabric application.

    Race-day deadline discipline

    Race shirts must be at the packet pickup location before packet pickup opens. APC builds production timelines backward from packet pickup, not race day.

    Sponsor logo management on club apparel

    Running clubs and cycling teams typically carry multiple sponsor logos on club apparel. APC handles sponsor logo prep, placement to spec, and proofing approval before production.

    Reorder efficiency for growing clubs

    Austin clubs and studios grow throughout the year as new members join. APC holds digitized files and preferred blanks so reorders take one approval and fit standard turnaround.

    Performance apparel, race tees, and club merch for Austin running clubs, gyms, and studios.
