There’s something so classic and cool about a simple ringer tee. After a week of nonstop high color count band tees, laying black ink on white cotton felt like a mini vacation. All that’s missing now is a plate of Joe’s awesome mac

Yesterday was a wild one. Kim Coe, widow of the late great David Allan Coe hired us to print memorial shirts for his service Friday. We got the approval at 6pm Tuesday. Wednesday we ordered and picked up blanks, setup artwork, made 8 screens, printed

  • We do more than squeegee ink on t-shirts. We are creators who understand that visibility in any industry is vital to success. That challenge looks different for every client and often requires a level of resourcefulness.

    Our services include screen printing, embroidery, custom design, corporate identity creation, signage, stickers, business cards, vinyl graphics, stage backdrops, 3D printing and more.

    If we can’t create it in house we have a large network of trusted colleagues and friends in the production space. We’re always happy to use that network to see your vision come to fruition.

  • 3 friends, 4 walls and a lifetime of slinging merch.

    MIKE // 25 years ago Mike’s mom forced him to get a job, abruptly ending the summer of Mike. After a short stint at Taco Bell he discovered screen printing. A million shirts later might be a low estimate. Ask to see his carpal tunnel if you don’t believe me. In the time since Mike has launched a successful clothing line, a brand of horror themed oddities and had his artwork stolen by some pretty hip (but shiesty) breweries.

    JASON // Almost (but really kind of) world famous bassist turned entrepreneur. As a touring musician of 30+ years Jason has ordered and sold a lot of t-shirts. Metric tons actually. As a business owner and construction specialist he became a stickler for deadlines, quality control, and building lasting relationships. One of those relationships was with a couple of really good (and humble) merch providers. Now we’re partners.

    JUSTIN // Necessity is the mother of invention, as was the case for our resident artist, designer and professional talker, Justin. After being ripped off on low quality t-shirts, Justin started a print shop in his garage. That rag tag operation would eventually print merch for many of his favorite bands, thriving for 20 years. He has been nationally recognized for his design work, racking up ADDY awards for logo design, B2B marketing campaigns, and brand development. But seriously, who cares. The dude is Obituary’s graphic designer, and that’s way cooler.

  • We believe in making things easy. Tell us what you want, we’ll help you create it and make sure it hits your doorstep on time, every time. Whether you’re local to the Cincinnati area or a touring band on the road, we’ve got you.
