Trusted Union Contract Decorator
in the USA

If you sell custom apparel but don't produce it in-house, or if your clients require union-certified goods, we're the partner you've been looking for. Our union contract screen printing, embroidery, signage, sticker, and banner printing, and other services offer products that meet the highest standards of fair labor and American craftsmanship. Our expert artisans have extensive experience, and we use high-grade US-based fabrics and materials.

Genuine union certification

We are a verified member of the Allied Printing Trades Council, Store #76. Our union bug has our store number on it — that's a traceable, verifiable credential. Provide union certification when required.

1-week assured turnaround

With four automatic screen printing presses and 30 Tajima embroidery heads, we are capable of completing a large production order in a faster turnaround time, where most shops can quote more than a week.

Zero spoilage target

The garment decoration industry accepts 1–3% spoilage as normal. We do not. Every defective piece is reprinted at our cost. Our contract customers trust us with their most demanding clients because of this.
