A merchandise partner, not a print shop.
On The Island Apparel was built around one idea: most organizations don't want to manage their branded merchandise — they want it handled. We design, produce, and fulfill apparel programs end-to-end so the gear shows up without it becoming somebody's second job.
We're a custom apparel and branded merchandise operation based in Huntington, Long Island. All our decoration — DTF printing, custom embroidery, and laser engraving — happens in-house under one roof. The team that takes your call is the team running the production floor.
Most of our work runs as ongoing programs: company stores for growing businesses, uniform programs for restaurants and hospitality groups, spiritwear stores for schools and athletic departments, recurring fulfillment for organizations of every size. We also support one-off orders, contract production for ecommerce brands, and walk-in projects — but the heart of what we do is helping organizations run their merchandise without it being a distraction.
We're proud members of ASI (Advertising Specialty Institute), the Huntington Chamber of Commerce, the Melville Chamber of Commerce, the Mattituck Chamber of Commerce, and BNI.
