Custom Embroidery, DTF Printing & Laser Engraving in Kennesaw, GA

Your Hometown Custom Decoration Shop in Kennesaw, GA

Panda Prints is a custom embroidery, DTF apparel, sublimation, and laser-engraving shop based in Kennesaw, GA, in Cobb County’s north-metro Atlanta corridor. We make every order in-house, a short drive from Swift-Cantrell Park and the Big Shanty rail district that gave the town its old name. Aaron Alexander, who founded the shop, runs the floor himself. So the person who quotes your hats is the same person who stitches them.

This part of Cobb County runs on small business. There are thousands of local companies, a steady stream of new founders coming out of Kennesaw State University, and a downtown calendar packed with events from the Big Shanty Festival to Pigs & Peaches BBQ. That adds up to a lot of teams, shops, and organizations that need a logo on something. We decorate for all of them. KSU student orgs, Town Center at Cobb retailers, youth leagues out at Swift-Cantrell, and contractors framing houses off Stilesboro and Barrett Parkway.

Every Custom Decoration Service, Built Around Kennesaw

One shop handles your whole branding list, so you’re not chasing a separate supplier for every item. Here’s how each service usually shows up for our north-Cobb customers.

• Custom Embroidery, from $14. Stitched caps, performance polos, work jackets, beanies, and leather-patch hats. Think front-of-house shirts for a Main Street restaurant downtown, branded caps for an HVAC or landscaping crew working the Acworth-Kennesaw line, or alumni-association polos near the KSU campus. Caps start at $14, and embroidered shirts, polos, and jackets start at $20. We also handle 3D puff, monogramming, and individual name drops. Each logo includes up to 8,000 stitches.
• DTF Apparel Printing, from $10. Full-color direct-to-film transfers on tees, hoodies, and crewnecks. Tees start at $10 and hoodies at $26. Order a single shirt for a Kennesaw State intramural squad or run a few hundred for a church camp or a 5K at Swift-Cantrell. There’s no order minimum, no setup fee, and no per-color charge, so a four-color design costs the same to print as a one-color one.
• Sublimation, from $6. Photo-quality drinkware, ornaments, mugs, and keepsakes. These are popular for realtor closing gifts, fundraiser merch, and the kind of seasonal items vendors sell from a Depot Park booth during a downtown festival.
• Laser Engraving, from $14. Clean, precise marking on stainless tumblers, hardwood cutting boards, slate, glassware, coasters, leatherette patches, keychains, and ornaments. Great for wedding-party gifts, employee milestones, and pop-by giveaways from a local real estate office.
• Signage & Banners, from $40. Storefront and event graphics: vinyl banners, laser-cut acrylic and wood signs, and custom stickers for your shop, booth, or product line.
• Promotional Goods, from $1.50. Patches, tote bags, and branded drinkware for trade-show swag, conference giveaways, and grand-opening gift bags.
• Business Cards, Stationery, and Design. Business cards start at $20 for 250, logo and graphic design start at $75, and we build full websites from $500. A brand-new venture can leave our shop with a logo, a letterhead, a website, and a wardrobe all from one place.

A typical week here might mean embroidered aprons for a coffee bar on Main Street, DTF spirit shirts for a Cobb County PTA, engraved tumblers for a closing gift, and a banner for a vendor at Taste of Kennesaw, all moving through the same building.

Why Cobb County Businesses Choose a Shop Down the Street

When production happens here in town, “fast” actually means fast. You skip the cross-country shipping wait and the email-only back-and-forth with a vendor who never sets foot in your community. Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 business days from art approval, with rush and next-day options for when a Saturday tournament or a Monday grand opening sneaks up on you. Rush pricing varies with the size and complexity of the job, so we’ll quote it with the rest of your order.

Because we sit minutes from Town Center at Cobb and the KSU corridor, fulfillment stays flexible. Local pickup, shipping, and delivery options are all available, and we’ll work out the best one for your order. You always see a proof before we touch a single garment, and if you don’t have print-ready art, we can redraw or digitize your logo in-house. There are no minimums on any service, so a single hat is as welcome as a few hundred shirts. The whole thing is built around the fact that you can drive over, shake a hand, and see your blanks before they go into production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you serve Kennesaw, GA?

Yes. We’re based right here in Kennesaw, in Cobb County, off Wood Park Trce near Swift-Cantrell Park and downtown Big Shanty. Everything is made in-house, including embroidery, DTF apparel, sublimation, laser engraving, and signage. I do the work and check it myself, so nothing gets outsourced to a middleman.

Can I pick up my order in Kennesaw or have it delivered locally?

Yes. Local pickup, shipping, and delivery options are available, and we’ll work out the best one for your order. If you’re in or around Kennesaw, pickup skips the shipping wait entirely. We’re home-based at 2868 Wood Park Trce NW, so a quick call or text to (954) 625-9374 before you swing by is appreciated.

How fast can you turn around a custom order?

Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 business days from the day you approve the proof. That speed is the whole reason Panda exists. I needed five shirts in Puerto Rico years back and every shop quoted me 14 to 21 days, so I learned the craft and built the business around fast turnaround. Rush is handled case by case, sometimes next business day when the queue allows, charged at a premium and quoted up front.

How much does custom embroidery or DTF printing cost?

Embroidered hats start at $14, and shirts, polos, and jackets start at $20. DTF printing starts at $10 with full color, no per-color charge, and no setup fee. New embroidery logos run a one-time digitizing fee from $40, and that’s waived on exact reorders. Send your item, quantity, and deadline and we’ll send back an exact quote plus a proof before anything gets made.

Do you take walk-ins, and how do I pay?

We’re a home-based shop, so a quick call or text to (954) 625-9374 before you come by lets me set aside time for you. Payment is in full when you place the order, and we take cash, card, and ACH. Nothing goes into production until you approve the digital mockup, so you always see exactly what you’re getting first.

Do you have order minimums?

No minimums on anything we do. One embroidered hat or a single DTF tee is just as welcome as a few hundred shirts. Small jobs run right alongside the big production runs, no extra hoops.

What kind of artwork do you need to start a project?

Vector art is best, so an AI, EPS, PDF, or SVG file, or a 300 dpi transparent PNG. If all you’ve got is a logo pulled off a business card or a website, send it anyway. We can redraw or digitize it in-house so it’s ready to stitch or print. You approve a proof before we start, so there are no surprises.
