At CNC, screen printing is more than a method—it’s a craft. Each garment we produce is a canvas for bold, motorsport-inspired designs, meticulously crafted and printed with quality in mind. By choosing to work with skilled printers in Los Angeles, we keep our process local, ensuring that every piece is handled with care and precision. This hands-on approach allows us to push the boundaries of traditional printing, bringing CNC’s vision to life in vivid color and texture.
Choosing local printers in Los Angeles wasn’t just about proximity; it was about finding partners who share our dedication to quality. In LA’s vibrant creative community, we’ve found a team of experts whose commitment to detail aligns with CNC’s standards. We can visit their studios, view the processes first-hand, and collaborate on every aspect, from selecting inks to perfecting color layers. This close connection means our designs aren’t just printed—they’re crafted with an artisanal touch that can only come from a local partnership.
We don’t stop at standard printing. At CNC, we’re all about creating standout pieces, so we incorporate specialty printing techniques to elevate our garments into statement pieces. One of these techniques, puff printing, brings a whole new dimension to our designs. Using a special ink that expands as it dries, puff printing creates a raised, 3D effect on the fabric, adding texture and depth. This technique transforms simple logos and graphics into tactile elements, making the design not only visually striking but also engaging to the touch.
Another CNC signature is our use of oversized screen prints. These larger-than-life graphics require custom screens and extra attention to detail, allowing the design to cover a more extensive portion of the garment. When a CNC piece features an oversized print, it’s not just apparel—it’s wearable art. The effect is bold, unapologetic, and perfectly aligned with CNC’s motorsport-inspired aesthetic, ensuring that each piece makes an impact wherever it goes.
Our multi-color prints also showcase CNC’s dedication to craftsmanship. Creating vibrant, detailed images requires carefully layered screens, with each color applied one at a time. This technique requires precision, as any misalignment can compromise the final look. But our LA-based partners are experts at this multi-step process, and the result is a seamless, dynamic design that retains its clarity and vibrancy. These prints allow us to bring complex visuals—like racing-inspired motifs and layered CNC logos—to life, creating a true reflection of CNC’s spirit and attention to detail.
The screen printing process itself is an art form. Each color in a design has its own screen, and multi-color prints can require several screens and multiple rounds of layering. The process takes time, patience, and skill, but the result is a vibrant, durable print that withstands wear and wash. We use premium, eco-friendly inks to bring out the boldness in every design, and each garment is heat-cured to lock the colours in, ensuring they stand the test of time.
For CNC, specialty printing is about more than just aesthetics—it’s a core part of our identity. By embracing advanced techniques like puff printing, oversized screens, and multi-color designs, we create garments that resonate with CNC’s values: boldness, precision, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Each piece tells a story, blending high-performance style with streetwear that stands out.
Working with our LA printers also allows us to support a community of skilled artisans and minimize our environmental impact. Local production reduces our carbon footprint and keeps craftsmanship at the centre of what we do, aligning with CNC’s dedication to sustainable, slow fashion.
By screen printing locally in Los Angeles, we’re able to bring our customers clothing that isn’t just made—it’s crafted. From bold textures to vibrant colours, every CNC garment reflects our commitment to detail, quality, and design, transforming each piece into a celebration of motorsport culture and the art of premium streetwear.
