We make Charleston businesses look good!

We know how frustrating it is to order promotional products and apparel only to wind up stuck with items that didn’t turn out how you expected. We’re a small business too so we get it. You don’t have the time or money to waste.

For almost 30 years, we’ve outfitted thousands of Charleston businesses in high-quality branded apparel. We walk our customers through a step-by-step process, so they’re outfitted with the items they need to get noticed.

Let us help you

What started as a small screen printing and embroidery shop in 1995 has grown into Charleston’s go-to source for branded apparel and promotional products.

We’ve expanded from a single manual press and one printer to a 6,000-square-foot production facility with state-of-the-art printing equipment.

We love working with companies and organizations of all sizes as well as individuals and schools to bring your marketing and branding ideas to life.
