Screen printing through Fontana's year
Fontana logs about 93 days a year at 90°F or more, and August highs average 95°F, so lightweight tees and tanks are the natural base for most screen print runs. With average highs of 67°F even in December, a printed hoodie is a gift or evening piece here, and the bulk of the year belongs to tees. Average highs reach 70°F or more from March to November, so print and stock tees before that stretch begins and save heavier blanks for the cooler months. Six or more months a year bring under half an inch of rain, so outdoor events rarely face a washout, and an event-dated shirt can be printed well ahead of the day.

Screen Printing in Fontana
Should a screen print order in Fontana go on tees or hoodies?
Tees first, with a smaller hoodie run timed to arrive by late fall. Short sleeves carry most of the year in Fontana, and a hoodie order sized at a fraction of the tee run usually covers the cool nights. With an under-18 share above the US figure, expect youth sizes on school and team orders; a youth tee takes a narrower print than an adult one, so check the mockup on the smallest size.
