About Us

Local Ink 516 is a women-owned, Long Island, NY- based screen printing and embroidery company, built on creativity, quality, and real relationships. Founded by two women with a passion for custom apparel, we specialize in creating merch that's meant to be worn, remembered and lived in.

From team apparel and tournament gear to custom pieces for schools. businesses, events, and organizations, we focus on high-quality production with hands-on personal approach.  Apparel is our core, but every project is treated as its own creative collaboration.

THE TOUR COLLECTION was created from our deep roots in youth and travel sports.  Inspired by concert-style tour merch, it transforms tournaments, seasons, and team moments into wearable keepsakes athletes and families actually want long after te final game.

We work one on one with every client, offering guidance on design, current styles, and trusted apparel brands to bring ideas to life.  From design to production, we focus on craftsmanship, clarity, and care. no shortcuts. No mass produced feel.

At our core, we are a local small business that treats clients like friends. Every order, big or small, receives the same attention to detail and respect it deserves.  By combining industry expertise with fresh ideas, we've built a loyal community that values quality, creativity, and reliability.

Our philosophy is simple: Create amazing, customizable products with standout quality and outstanding customer service- delivered efficiently and done right.

We're proud where we come from, excited where we're going, and grateful for every team, brand, and family that trusts us with their gear.

Let's create something you'll want to wear, keep, and use again and again.

Cheers!
