FAMILY OWNED • AWARD WINNING • LAS VEGAS SINCE 2010
AA Custom T-Shirt Printing was built by John Pinnington in 2010, and it's been a fixture in the Las Vegas apparel printing scene ever since. What started as one man's determination to build something of his own has grown into an award-winning, minority-certified print shop serving restaurants, hotels, corporate teams, sports leagues, and thousands of individual customers across the Las Vegas valley. This is the story of how we got here and why our customers keep coming back.

Before John Pinnington was printing custom shirts, he was working security the kind of job that teaches you to read a room, stay calm under pressure, and show up exactly when you're needed. Those same instincts ended up shaping how he built AA Custom T-Shirt Printing. When a customer calls needing 50 shirts by tonight, John doesn't panic. He's been the person people count on to handle things before, and that habit carried straight into the print shop.
John started AA Custom T-Shirt Printing in 2010 with a simple idea: build the print shop he wished existed when he needed one. No arbitrary minimums turning away small customers. No hidden setup fees padding the invoice. And when someone genuinely needed shirts fast, a real answer instead of a three-week lead time.
That approach built something real. Over 15 years, John grew the business by networking through Las Vegas's chamber of commerce community, building relationships with restaurants and hotels who needed reliable uniform partners, and consistently showing up when customers were in a bind. His story covered by Business Press Vegas in a feature titled "From Bodyguard to Printer" is part of what makes AA Custom T-Shirt Printing different from a faceless online print-on-demand service. There's a real person behind every order, and that person built this business from nothing.

Every policy at AA Custom T-Shirt Printing traces back to the same idea John had in 2010: be the print shop that says yes when others say no. No minimums means small customers get treated the same as big ones. No setup fees means the quote we give is the price you pay. Same-day capability on DTG and DTF means we show up when the deadline is today, not next week.
Order 1 shirt or 1,000. Every customer gets treated the same regardless of order size — that's been the policy since day one.
No hidden charges, ever. The quote we give you is the price you pay. That kind of straightforward pricing built our reputation.
When you call, someone who actually works in the shop picks up. John's background taught him that showing up reliably is the whole business.
