Laser engraving and apparel services

Creekside Taxidermy is excited to bring you custom Laser engraving and apparel services!

Taxidermy and apparel under one roof?

It may sound unexpected, but at Creekside, it makes perfect sense.

Creekside Taxidermy has always been built on customer care, appreciation, and strong, authentic branding. To better serve our clients and keep costs affordable, we invested in professional in-house equipment that allows us to design, print, and engrave custom products right here in our shop.

What started as a way to provide quality Creekside apparel with every mount we produce has grown into something more. By creating our designs in-house, we’ve expanded our capabilities and launched Creekside Apparel, offering custom apparel and laser engraving services to individuals, businesses, organizations, and events.

We specialize in DTF apparel printing and laser engraving, allowing us to produce durable, high-quality products with fast turnaround times and attention to detail. Whether you’re outfitting a team, promoting an event, branding your business, or creating personalized gifts, our hands-on approach ensures every piece meets the same standards we hold in our taxidermy work.

At Creekside, creativity doesn’t stop at the mount. The same craftsmanship, precision, and pride that go into your taxidermy now go into your apparel and engraved products as well.

About our custom designs

What We Can Produce In-House

With our in-house apparel printing and laser engraving equipment, we’re able to produce a wide range of custom products - all under one roof. This allows us to maintain quality control, offer flexible order sizes, and keep turnaround times fast.

We can customize and produce items such as:

  • Custom can koozies

  • Knives and coated metal tools

  • Keychains

  • Coasters

  • Leather patches and panels

  • Shirts, hoodies, and apparel

  • Bags and soft goods

  • Hats and accessories

  • Wood, leather, acrylic, metal, and coated items
    …and much more.

Because we own and operate our own printers and equipment, we’re able to take on small batch orders with low minimums - something many large shops can’t offer. Most orders are typically completed in two weeks or less, depending on project size and complexity.

If we can’t produce the good you’re after, we have selected partners we work with to get your desired goods to you, so you don’t have to shop in multiple locations. This includes but is not limited to, firearm engravings, heavy metal etchings, and embroidery work.

Apparel Printing

DTF Printing (Direct-to-Film)

We specialize in DTF printing, a modern apparel printing method that offers exceptional durability and flexibility.

DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing is apparel printing method where a design

is printed onto a special film, coated with adhesive powder, and then

heat-pressed onto a garment. The ink bonds directly to the fabric fibers,

creating a durable, flexible print on almost any material such as cotton,

polyester blends, and is great for on light or dark colors.

It’s often considered superior to screen printing because there’s

no setup or screens required, full-color and highly detailed designs

are easy, short runs are cost-effective, and the prints are soft,

long-lasting, and crack-resistant.

DTF printing is a perfect fit for businesses, events, and organizations that want professional results without committing to bulk quantities. DTF also allows for an array of printed colors and images, and not being limited to solid fills.

Laser Engraving

Laser Engraving

Our shop is equipped with a 40-watt diode laser engraver, allowing us to engrave precise, permanent designs across a wide variety of materials.

Laser engraving is ideal for:

  • Wood

  • Leather

  • Acrylic

  • Coated metals

  • Plastics and composites

  • Select natural materials

From knives and keychains to leather patches, plaques, signage, and personalized gifts, laser engraving provides a clean, professional finish that won’t fade or wear over time.

Much like our taxidermy work, laser engraving is about precision, patience, and detail. Every piece is handled with the same care we put into custom mounts - measured, intentional, and built to last.

Big Ideas,
Real Impact.

Designed for the Outdoor Community

We understand the outdoor and taxidermy world because we live it. That matters.

In many commercial settings, it can be difficult to showcase hunting, fishing, or taxidermy-related designs in a way that feels tasteful and authentic. We work with like-minded individuals, brands, and organizations to create apparel and engraved products that represent the outdoor lifestyle with respect and elegance. However, we are happy to work with any brand or orginization no matter what.

While we are not a design company, we are a printing business with experience. We’re happy to:

  • Adjust or refine existing designs

  • Resize, clean up, or prep artwork for printing or engraving

  • Offer guidance on what works best for your application

However, full design creation from scratch is not our specialty. If you already have artwork, or a clear idea, we can help bring it to life using the same craftsmanship that defines our taxidermy work.
