Services
As part of our mission, we strive to extend social justice discounts to organizations and individuals that are focused on improving the welfare of those in our local community and beyond. At Lightning Bolt Ink, we believe in creating beautiful prints on quality garments. With all of our screen printing done in-house, and by hand, we can assure you that each garment is printed with crisp precision and special attention to detail.
Lightning Bolt Ink offers a variety of services, from screen printed shirts, hoodies and other garments to tote bags, koozies and stickers. We also offer in-house graphic design services to help your vision come to life, or to get your graphics print ready! We can source hundreds of different styles and types of garments, and can help you to narrow your selections based on preferences including your budget, type of material, style, or ethics.
Screen Printing is priced out based on the number of colors and imprint locations you'd like to have printed, as well as the type of garment you'd like. 2. In the search bar, simply type in key words for the garments that you are interested in. For example, you may type in organic short sleeve, unisex v-neck, recycled tote, USA made long sleeve, etc.
On average, our turnaround time is two weeks from the day the order is placed (once artwork is finalized and deposit is paid). Without a doubt! Garment styles & colors can be mixed, as long as the total quantity meets our minimum amount. We are happy to print your design on a variety of different garments and/or colors.

Working with the folks at Lightning Bolt was a pleasure! Katrina helped me choose shirt colors and made fabulous ink color suggestions. Plus their prices are better than some of the big online printers, while still being a local storefront. The Firefly Gathering will continue to use Lightning Bolt for all of our printing needs!

On behalf of Blue Ridge Public Radio, our team was thrilled with the branded beanies the Lightning Bolt Ink team produced, and the communication was warm, prompt, and enthusiastic. The production schedule was right on time and our beanies look terrific! Would highly recommend to any organization, particularly nonprofits, looking for branded products here in WNC.

We love Lightning Bolt Ink. We've used them for decades (with previous owners). The current owners are just fantastic as well. Great communication, great at what they do, and they pay their workers a living wage. We love supporting them. Recently we've ordered company t-shirts for our employees as well as hoodies from them and have been very pleased with the whole ordering process, start to finish, as well as the quality of products we've purchased.

We could not be happier with the quality, attention to details, timeliness, and communication of Lightning Bolt Ink. From the first questions about quotes to the final touches, they ALWAYS take their time to do their very best. This project was the second we have done with them and it was far more complicated than the first one. I was extremely impressed by their desire to make sure the product was quality and to meet all our needs at the same time. I would recommend them to each person that ever needs a t-shirt made and we will be doing business with them for years to come.

My business has had 3 runs of shirts and sweatshirts printed through Lightning Bolt Ink and they have never been anything but professional. Shirts come on time, with unmatched quality. I find the prices to be reasonable and items delivered as ordered. The proofing process is very clear and straightforward. These folks are good at what they do and I’ll keep printing through them whenever I need work done.

Highly recommend!!! I am a local business owner in AVL & couldn't be happier with all of the help that Hannah & SP provided to me and my business needs. I needed a lot of handholding since this was my first order and the staff at Lightning Bolt Ink was extremely helpful while being kind & thoughtful of what my needs were. Can't wait to place my next order!
