The tan shirts were still in the box on the white counter. One was already pulled out, LIVIN.in in white on the chest, held up so we could see it. Keyboard, card reader, a monitor, and a wall of prints behind her. She was smiling like this was a normal Tuesday, which in this shop it is. That is Inked Up Graphics. Not a mall kiosk. A print floor in Redding that put our name on a shirt and handed it over like they do it every day, because they do.
Redding gets sold as the Sundial Bridge and a weekend on the river. That is a visitor schedule. The shop that actually dressed this trip sits on South Market, teal and charcoal, a pole sign that still says Since 2011, and a pair of orange doors with the logo wrapped on the glass. You park. You walk in. You leave wearing the town.
Inked Up Graphics has been decorating apparel out of Redding since 2011. The site is plain about the work: screen printed and embroidered merch, plus logos and full apparel graphics when you do not walk in with a finished file. The owners are Eric and Brittany. Britt is listed as owner. Eric is listed as owner. The floor around them is a real crew. Kiley on orders. Mason, Brendan, and Casey on production. Miah on embroidery. Tracy on inventory. The shop itself is split the way a working printer should be split. Up front, racks of hoodies and hats, a circular mural that says INKED UP Graphics, two black chairs and a striped bench by the window, a monstera in the light. In back, the presses, the embroidery heads, the boxes, the skylight over the production floor. A sign says apparel printing and design. Screen printing. Embroidery. That is the whole offer.
South Market is not a hidden address. The shop is at 3492 S. Market Street, Redding, California 96001. You can see the pole sign from the lot. Screen printing here is not a one-shirt favor. Their own policies put a 25-piece floor on a one- or two-color design, 50 if you go up to four colors, 100 past that, with an eight-color max on the press. Fleece has a 12-piece floor. Embroidery starts at 12 pieces per garment type, and a hat is not the same job as a polo. General turnaround is 10 to 14 business days after deposit and art approval. Rush exists if the schedule has room, and it costs more. They take cash, check, and cards. They will walk you through garment samples so you can feel the shirt before you lock a quote. As of 2026 they no longer take customer-supplied garments. If you want a LIVIN.in shirt, or a shop shirt, or a team hoodie, you start with them, not with a bag of blanks from someone else.
Here is the part a brochure will skip. This is not the place you wander into for a single souvenir tee. The minimums are real. The 50 percent deposit is real. The art proof is real. If your file is not printable they will say so, and they will redraw it, and that has a fee, starting at forty dollars and climbing if the work is actually a logo. People who write about this shop keep saying the same thing in different words: Eric and Brittany are easy to deal with, the communication holds, and the shirts come out clean. I am not going to dress that up as a press release. I am going to tell you we stood at that counter, watched a LIVIN.in shirt come up out of the box, and the room felt like a family shop that happens to run a serious press line.
I will not invent a last name or a private story about the owners. I can say what the visit was. The lot was bright. The doors were orange. Inside, the black ceiling and the plants and the hat display on a cable-spool table. Someone walking the production aisle. A woman at the front counter holding our shirt like it mattered, which it did, because that is the first time LIVIN.in has lived on a body in Redding. The print was clean. The shop was friendly in the way shops are friendly when the owners are actually on the floor. If you need screen printing or embroidery in this town, this is the call. We would make it again.
Tomorrow is simple. Drive South Market. Look for the teal and charcoal box and the Since 2011 sign. Bring a file if you have one. Bring a rough idea if you do not. Ask for Eric or Brittany. Expect a quote, a proof, and a wait measured in business days, not magic. The site is inkedupgraphics.com. If you are dressing a team, a nonprofit, a shop, or just a name you care about, start there. We did. We left with the shirts.
This is LIVIN in Redding. A real print shop, then the river. Where You LIVE.
