Ask any office manager who has ordered shirts for an event and the story tends to sound the same. The proof looked fine on screen. The boxes showed up two days before the doors opened, and the logo was the wrong shade of blue. Since 2003, 2LC Graphics has been the shop Houston buyers call after that happens once. Claudia Lievano started the company and still runs it as founder and president, and the model has not changed: every order belongs to a named person who answers the phone.The company handles decorated apparel, custom patches, signage, vehicle wraps and promotional products from a single source. Screen printing in Houston accounts for a large share of that work, covering tees, hoodies, towels, and event runs, with a 36-piece minimum that reflects the setup cost of burning screens rather than an arbitrary rule. Embroidery runs on Tajima machines with Madeira thread at a separate 12-piece minimum. Turnaround typically runs two weeks, and the proof comes back the next day, which gives a buyer time to catch a problem while it is still fixable on paper.
People come to us because something went wrong somewhere else," a company spokesperson said. "Nobody calls to say the job looks great. They call because a crew starts Monday and the uniforms are not right. We would rather have that conversation before anything gets printed. That means somebody really looks at the file, tells you what it will actually cost, and says if the thing you asked for is a bad idea
Although most customers place their orders online after receiving a quote and invoice, the shop is also available by appointment. We proudly serve Houston and the surrounding areas Monday through Friday. They work with many in stock apparel brands, including Nike, The North Face, Carhartt, Adidas, Bella+Canvas and Port Authority. Lievano graduated with honors in advertising from the University of Houston and is an active member of the Advertising Specialty Institute.
For a contractor rebranding a fleet, that means uniforms, patches, and truck graphics come from one conversation rather than four purchase orders. For a booster club working a fixed budget, it means someone explains the ideal way to get the best pricing per tee.
