Whenever I can I choose to support local over the big name printers and Kalvin shines as a professional business owner that treats clients and customer relationships as more than just a print order and number.

They'll get all my larger jobs and my recommendations. I needed a single piece embroidered and called a number of companies to ask if they'd take such a small job. I was met by a range of responses, with some rudely telling me it wasn't worth their time. When I called All-Color they were pleasant, professional, and helpful. They were honest, saying they'd have to work it in, but they were happy to do the work. It was a simple job, so I expected the drop off to be quick. Instead, I was welcomed into the facility and someone was brought from the back to talk about my job. They flipped out a book of fonts, asking my opinion and offering advice. They took the same amount of time advising the best thread color. Again, they promised they'd work it in when possible. Other companies spoke of six week turnarounds for a small job, so I prepared for a long wait. Instead, I received a call about a week later. All-Color is great and I couldn't be happier!

I took a job to David and his crew after every other screen printer told me it couldn't be done. I had given up, but DJ at Tacoma Trophy sent me over to 253 Custom Tees because they do the jobs others can't/won't. DJ was right. David looked at what I wanted and said, "Yeah, I can do that." I was shocked, and a little skeptical, but I sent him the print and he quickly did a mock-up of exactly what I had envisioned. It was perfect. I had my shirts printed and they were the hit of the event. 253 Custom Tees saved the day. Their creativity and knowledge of their equipment sets them apart from the competition. You can't fake customer service. These guys have it and it's the best. They went above and beyond for me and I I have not doubt they will for you as well. read more
