Legacy in the Making
THE STORY BEHIND
THE STUDIO.
We didn't start LA DISTRO to compete with other print shops. We started it because we were tired of watching great brands get let down by vendors who couldn't match their vision. So we built the operation we always wished existed.
Our Origin
FOUNDED ON
PRECISION.
LA DISTRO was born in 2012 out of a garage in Yonkers, NY. No investors. No shortcuts. Just a relentless obsession with producing apparel and branded materials that actually hold up to the standards our clients deserve.
What started as a single screen-printing press and a belief that quality shouldn't cost a brand its identity has grown into a full-scale production studio equipped with professional-grade Roland hardware, a team of dedicated specialists, and the capability to serve brands from first drop to full nationwide distribution.
We don't outsource. We don't cut corners. Every order that leaves our floor has been touched, inspected, and approved by someone who actually cares about your brand's reputation — because it reflects ours too.

Our Manifesto
WE BUILD PRESENCE,
NOT JUST PRODUCT.
In a crowded market full of vendors selling speed and cheapness, we made a different bet — that the brands who win long-term are the ones whose physical presence matches the ambition of their identity. We exist to make that happen.
SPEED WITHOUT SACRIFICE
Culture doesn't wait and neither do we. Our in-house workflow is engineered to turn around high-quality production at the speed your brand demands — without ever trading quality for convenience.
TECHNICAL AUTHORITY
We invested in industry-leading Roland hardware because mediocre equipment produces mediocre results. Our Roland TY-300 DTF and LG-640 UV printers allow us to hit a level of color accuracy and finish detail that most shops simply can't match.
CULTURAL IMPACT
We're not just a print vendor — we're a production partner that understands brand language. We've worked with streetwear labels, e-commerce brands, event producers, and local businesses. We speak the language because we live in the culture.
How We Got Here
STAGES OF GROWTH.
The Genesis
Started with a single screen-printing press in a Yonkers garage. Zero outside funding. Just an obsession with producing things that looked exactly as good in person as they did on screen.
First Major Label
Moved into a dedicated Yonkers production space and landed our first major streetwear partner. The relationship proved our model worked — quality-first production at scale, delivered on time.
Technology Upgrade
Invested in Roland DTF and UV printing technology, completely transforming our turnaround speed and color capability. What used to take two weeks now ships in days — with better results.
Nationwide Reach
Today, LA DISTRO ships to all 50 states and serves hundreds of brands across streetwear, beauty, food & beverage, events, and corporate. The garage is long behind us — the standard remains the same.
Why LA DISTRO
BUILT TO SCALE.
Whether you're a solo creator dropping your first run or an established brand fulfilling thousands of units, we have the infrastructure, the equipment, and the expertise to make it happen — without you having to worry about the details.
"We handle the technical complexity so you can focus on the creative direction."
IN-HOUSE PRODUCTION
No third parties. No outsourced runs. We own the floor, operate the machines, and personally oversee every job — which means no quality gets lost in translation between us and your finished product.
CULTURE-DRIVEN
We understand the visual language of modern brands because we're immersed in the same culture our clients create for. From streetwear aesthetics to clean minimalist packaging, we know what good looks like.
NATIONWIDE REACH
Rooted in Yonkers, NY and shipping to all 50 states. Whether you're local and want to pick up in person or you're running a coast-to-coast drop, we have the logistics infrastructure to support you.
PREMIUM STANDARDS
A zero-defect policy isn't a marketing line — it's how we operate. Every order is hand-inspected against your approved proof before it ships. If something doesn't meet the standard, we fix it before you ever see it.
The Equipment
HEAVYWEIGHT TECHNOLOGY.
We invested in the best machines on the market so your brand never has to settle for anything less than the highest fidelity production available.
ROLAND TY-300 DTF
Our Roland TY-300 is the backbone of our apparel production. DTF (Direct-to-Film) technology allows us to print complex multi-color designs onto virtually any fabric with precision, wash durability, and the kind of vibrant color reproduction that turns heads.

- · High-Durability Wash Performance
- · Seamless Gradient Reproduction
- · High-Volume Bulk Efficiency
ROLAND LG-640
The Roland LG-640 handles our stickers, labels, packaging graphics, and large-format signage. Its UV-stable ink technology means your prints resist fading, scratching, and moisture — whether they're going on a product bottle, a shopfront, or an outdoor banner.
- · Large Format Versatility
- · UV-Stable, Weather-Resistant Ink
- · Precision Contour Die-Cutting
- · High-Speed Production Output
CULTURE IS COLLABORATIVE.
Our studio is built for open dialogue. We don't just take orders — we engage with your creative direction, ask the right questions, and bring technical expertise to every conversation so that when your run hits the press, there are no surprises. Just results.
