A student’s shop that gives it back

This is a student-run shop. It started as one high schooler's project in Kinston, NC, and the plan is to keep it running long past graduation.

We print designs for Bethel Christian Academy — shirts, sweatshirts, bags and the rest — made to order in Beulaville, NC and shipped anywhere in the country. A share of every order goes back to the schools, teams and community projects we print for.

What the name means

BCA stands for Brantley Carawan Apparel . It has been read the other way before — the shop started out printing for one school and took its initials — and keeping the name while changing what it stands for seemed better than throwing away a logo that already works.

We are an independent shop — not any school's official store, and not run by any of them — so orders, questions and refunds all come to us rather than to a front office.

That is worth being plain about. We are not any school’s official store and never have been — some of them have one, and it isn’t us. We use a school’s name and colours to describe who a design is for, the way any independent shop selling team merchandise does, and nothing here is a school publication or a school’s word on anything.

It also matters for one practical reason: if something is wrong with an order, a front office cannot help you and we can. Come to us and we’ll sort it out.

How the shop works

Every item is printed to order — nothing is sitting in a box waiting to ship. Most orders are ready in about a week. New designs go up most weeks, with bigger collections each season.

Printing to order is what lets us run designs a shop holding stock could never justify — a one-off for a team that made the playoffs, a shirt for a group of forty people. It is also why an order takes a little longer than something already sitting in a warehouse. Our refund policy covers what happens if something arrives wrong.

Want us to print for your school?

Ask. Most of what we print exists because somebody asked for it — a team, a club, a parent who wanted a shirt that didn’t exist yet. Tell us who you are and what you want on it through the contact form and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can do it.

Getting hold of us

The contact form reaches us directly, or email orders@bcashirts.com. If you already have an order number you can check its status without waiting on a reply.
