Custom Printing & Embroidery Across Oregon, Washington, and the Pacific Northwest
Northern Signals is Salem, Oregon's full-service custom printing and embroidery shop. We produce branded apparel and promotional products for businesses, organizations, schools, teams, and individuals across the state of Oregon and throughout the greater Pacific Northwest — from the Portland metro to the Rogue Valley, from the Oregon Coast to Central Oregon, and from Seattle to Boise.
Our two core services — custom screen printing and custom embroidery — cover the full spectrum of branded apparel. Screen printing delivers bold, vibrant, cost-effective custom apparel at volume. Embroidery delivers the premium, textured, professional finish that corporate clients and uniform programs demand. Together, they give our clients a single source for every piece of branded apparel their organization needs.
Custom Screen Printing Across Oregon, Washington, & the PNW
Screen printing is the workhorse of custom apparel. Ink pushed through mesh stencils onto fabric produces vivid, opaque color and a smooth professional finish built to last. It's the most cost-effective custom printing method for medium and large orders, and it's what most businesses, events, and organizations turn to when they need custom t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, and promotional apparel.
Northern Signals provides custom screen printing to clients in every corner of Oregon. We print for businesses and organizations in Salem, Keizer, Silverton, Stayton, Dallas, Independence, Monmouth, and the mid-Willamette Valley — our home territory, where local clients can visit our shop, review samples, and pick up orders in person. We produce custom printed apparel for the Portland metro — Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Tualatin, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Oregon City, Milwaukie, Gresham, Troutdale, Sherwood, Wilsonville, and Canby. We serve the southern Willamette Valley — Corvallis, Albany, Lebanon, Philomath, McMinnville, Newberg, and Woodburn. We ship screen printed apparel to Eugene, Springfield, and Cottage Grove in Lane County.
We can handle orders for Bend, Redmond, Prineville, Madras, Sisters, and La Pine in Central Oregon. We can work with businesses in Medford, Ashland, Grants Pass, Roseburg, and Klamath Falls in Southern Oregon. And we serve the Oregon Coast — Astoria, Seaside, Cannon Beach, Tillamook, Lincoln City, Newport, Waldport, Florence, Coos Bay, North Bend, Bandon, Gold Beach, and Brookings.
Beyond Oregon, our screen printing reaches across the Pacific Northwest. We can print custom apparel for businesses in Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, Everett, Olympia, Kent, Renton, Federal Way, and Kirkland in Washington. We serve Vancouver WA, Camas, Washougal, Battle Ground, and Clark County — just across the Columbia from Portland. We can work with clients in Longview, Kelso, Centralia, and Chehalis in Southwest Washington. And we ship to Boise, Nampa, Meridian, Caldwell, Eagle, and Garden City in Idaho's Treasure Valley.
If your business, school, team, or organization is anywhere in Oregon, Washington, or Idaho, Northern Signals can handle your custom screen printing.→ Full details on our custom screen printing services
Custom Embroidery Across Oregon, Washington, & the PNW
Embroidery is the professional standard for branded apparel. Stitched logos carry a raised, dimensional quality that printed designs can't replicate — a tactile signal of quality that registers instantly. When perception matters — corporate settings, client-facing roles, upscale hospitality, healthcare — embroidery is the right call.
Northern Signals provides custom embroidery on polo shirts, button-downs, jackets, vests, outerwear, hats, beanies, chef coats, aprons, scrubs, lab coats, bags, and heavy-duty workwear including Carhartt, Dickies, and other industrial brands. Our in-house digitizing team converts your logo into a production-ready stitch file, and you own that file permanently — every future order reproduces your logo identically.
Our embroidery clients are spread across the same geography as our screen printing clients, and then some. In the Salem and mid-Willamette Valley area, we embroider uniforms and corporate apparel for restaurants, dental practices, law offices, auto shops, banks, and small businesses throughout Salem, Keizer, Silverton, Stayton, Dallas, Monmouth, Independence, and Woodburn. Across the Portland metro, we produce embroidered polos, jackets, and workwear for corporate offices, restaurant groups, tech companies, healthcare providers, and construction firms in Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Gresham, Milwaukie, Tualatin, Wilsonville, Sherwood, and Oregon City. In the southern Willamette Valley, we serve clients in Corvallis, Albany, Lebanon, McMinnville, Newberg, and surrounding communities — university departments, wineries, hospitality businesses, and professional offices.
In Eugene and Springfield, we can embroider for restaurants, medical clinics, schools, nonprofits, and growing businesses across Lane County. In Central Oregon, Bend, Redmond, and the surrounding communities rely on us for embroidered apparel for the region's tourism, craft brewing, outdoor recreation, healthcare, and construction industries. In Southern Oregon, we can embroider for wineries, restaurants, healthcare providers, and businesses in Medford, Ashland, Grants Pass, Roseburg, and the Rogue Valley. On the Oregon Coast, tourism and hospitality businesses from Astoria to Brookings can use our embroidery services for staff uniforms and branded merchandise.
In Washington, we can serve embroidery clients in Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, Bellevue, Vancouver WA, and communities across the western half of the state. In Idaho, we can work with businesses in Boise, Nampa, Meridian, and the Treasure Valley. And across Eastern Oregon — Hood River, The Dalles, Pendleton, La Grande, Hermiston, Ontario — our embroidery services reach the communities that keep rural Oregon running.
Two Services, One Shop
Most of our clients use both screen printing and embroidery — often on the same order. The warehouse team gets screen printed t-shirts. The front office gets embroidered polos. The sales team gets embroidered quarter-zips. The company picnic gets screen printed tank tops. The client gift box gets an embroidered beanie.
Working with a single shop for all of it means consistent branding across every piece, one point of contact instead of juggling multiple vendors, coordinated timelines so everything arrives together, and volume pricing that accounts for your total order across methods.
This is how most businesses in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest end up working with us. They come in for one service and realize it's easier — and more cost-effective — to consolidate everything under one roof.
Beyond Apparel: Promotional Products
Screen printing and embroidery are our core, but Northern Signals is also a full-service promotional products supplier. We source and customize thousands of branded items — drinkware, pens, notebooks, tech accessories, bags, lanyards, stickers, and more — for businesses and organizations across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.
Promotional products pair naturally with custom apparel. A trade show booth needs printed staff shirts and branded giveaway items. An onboarding kit needs an embroidered polo and a branded notebook and tumbler. A client gift package needs an embroidered vest and a custom-branded water bottle. We handle all of it so you're not managing three different suppliers.→ Promotional products and branded merchandise
Why Oregon, Washington, and Pacific Northwest Businesses Choose Northern Signals
Central location. Salem sits at the geographic center of western Oregon's population corridor. Portland is 50 miles north. Eugene is 65 miles south. Corvallis is 35 miles southwest. The coast is an hour west. Bend is two hours east. We're within one-day ground shipping range of every major city in Oregon, and two-day range for Seattle, Boise, and virtually everywhere else in the Pacific Northwest.
Local roots. We're an Oregon business serving Oregon businesses. We understand the communities we work with because we live here. We know that a Bend brewery's merch needs are different from a Portland law firm's uniform program, and both are different from a Medford nonprofit's fundraiser shirts. That local context matters.
Full-service capability. Screen printing, embroidery, heat transfer, and promotional products — all under one roof. You don't need to split your order across multiple vendors or manage separate timelines. One shop, one contact, one invoice.
Transparent pricing. Every quote is itemized. You see the cost of the blank garments, the setup, the printing or embroidery, and the shipping — no bundled fees designed to obscure margins. If screen printing is cheaper than embroidery for your project, we'll tell you. If a different garment brand saves you money without sacrificing quality, we'll recommend it.
Reorder consistency. Your logo files, stitch files, garment selections, color specs, and placement preferences are saved permanently. Whether you reorder three weeks or three years from now, every piece matches the original. This matters enormously for businesses managing uniforms and branded apparel across growing teams and multiple locations.
