A family print shop with deep Sioux Falls roots.
Grocott Ink & Thread is a local full-service screen print and embroidery shop serving Hartford, Sioux Falls, and the surrounding communities — making custom apparel since 1996.
Three decades of helping the metro show up in style
Grocott Ink & Thread started in 1996 with a single screen printing press and a simple idea: that small businesses, schools, and community groups deserved the same quality apparel as the big national chains — without the bureaucracy.
Nearly thirty years later, we're still family-owned and operated out of Hartford, SD, with a shop full of automated equipment and a team that has printed for just about every kind of group in the tri-state area.
What hasn't changed is how we work with you. When you call, a real person answers. When you walk in, you'll meet the people making your order. And when you wear what we made, it's going to look the way you imagined.
Serving Hartford and the Sioux Falls metro since 1996.
A small crew that takes every order personally.
Design, printing, embroidery, finishing — all under one roof.
Off I-90 W Exit 387, about 20 minutes from downtown Sioux Falls.
Small business, big-business tools
We run automated screen printing equipment, multi-head embroidery machines, heat-press and rhinestone stations, and an in-house art department — the same firepower as the national chains, with a local phone number.
- Automatic press for fast, consistent multi-color runs
- Multi-head embroidery for caps, polos, jackets and bags
- In-house artwork, digitizing and proofs before we print
Built for schools, teams, churches and Main Street
Youth camps, coffee shops, breweries, contractors, fundraisers and family reunions — we've printed for all of them. Small runs are welcome, and repeat orders stay on file so reorders take one phone call.
- 12-piece minimum on most screen printed apparel
- Hundreds of garment styles, brands and colors to pick from
- Artwork kept on file for easy reorders
