Built from the ground up.
Arcane Apparel began with a screen printing press in a garage and a determination to do the work better. Today, we're a full-service production shop in Myrtle Beach producing screen printed, embroidered and branded products for businesses, teams and organizations.
It started with one press.
Arcane Apparel started in a garage in Myrtle Beach while founder Zach Colbert was still working a full-time job. There was no background in the printing industry and no elaborate business planโ just a modest four-color press, a curing unit and a willingness to learn.
What began as a side project grew because of a simple idea: the finished product should matter, and so should the experience of ordering it. Customers came back. They told other people. The garage eventually wasn't big enough.
Arcane moved into dedicated production space, added equipment and built a team. Screen printing expanded. Embroidery followed. So did contract production and a wider range of branded products.
The equipment, capacity and capabilities have changed considerably since those early days. The approach hasn't. We keep learning, keep improving and care about what leaves the shop with the Arcane name behind it.
Where craftsmanship meets capacity.
What started as a small screen printing operation has grown into an in-house production company serving businesses, organizations, teams and fellow decorators.
In-House Production
Screen printing and embroidery are produced by our own team in our Myrtle Beach facility.
Built for Consistency
Automatic screen printing and multi-head embroidery equipment give us the consistency and capacity serious projects require.
Retail + Contract
We work directly with businesses and organizations while also supporting other decorators through contract production.
Myrtle Beach Based
Local production for customers throughout the Grand Strand and projects that ship far beyond it.
The principles behind every order.
Good equipment matters. Good systems matter. But the way a company approaches the work matters just as much.
Quality Without Shortcuts
From artwork preparation and placement to production and final inspection, details matter. We want the finished product to represent your brand well and our work well.
Clear Communication
Custom apparel doesn't need to feel complicated. We explain your options, provide proofs before production and keep the process straightforward.
Accountability
Your order isn't being handed off to someone we never see. Our production team takes ownership of the work that moves through our shop.

Take a look inside our Myrtle Beach facility and see the showroom, production areas and equipment behind the products we make every day.
Take the Virtual Tour
The goal was never just to print shirts.
I started Arcane with no industry backgroundโjust a press, Illustrator and a determination to learn the process until I could do it right. That same approach still drives how we operate today: keep improving, communicate clearly, invest in the right equipment and care about what leaves the shop.
We want customers to feel confident putting their name, logo or organization on something we produced.
Brands we've had the privilege to work with.
From local organizations to nationally recognized companies, every project carries someone else's name. That's a responsibility we take seriously.
