Mike and his team are fabulous. Their prices are very competitive, their quality is absolutely perfect and Mike is a lovely chap. We had 62 shirts to print, some dark, back and front, some light colored a mix of sizes and sleeve length. Mike was very detailed and creative in his prototyping of the printing so everyone could see the shirts before they were done. The turnaround time was great. I would give 6 stars if I could. Thanks heaps Mike and Team :) read more

You should absolutely go to Against the Grain for all your screen printing or heat press needs! Mike was incredibly helpful when I came to him with a pretty specific request for printing some shirts for my running club. He was attentive and made sure he knew exactly what I was looking for. He was very responsive via email, communicated clearly about what I could expect and made sure I was happy with how the project was going. He got the job done in a reasonable and timely manner and made sure we got the best quality work. I couldn't recommend him more, and I'll definitely be going back if I have more printing needs. read more

Loved working with Mike at ATG and I highly recommend him to everyone! I loved his portfolio work and I had a feeling he could execute the ideas I had in mind. He did not disappoint! Not only is he a talented artist, but he's also very professional, a great communicator, and very pleasant all around. He also charges a fair and reasonable rate which is great for someone like me with a small business who wants more than what a design app or website can offer. Contact him for all your graphic design needs, you'll be very happy you did! read more

Highly recommend Against The Grain! If you're looking for great customer service and a high quality product, look no further. I called around to all the printing shops in the bay, and not only were ATG's prices competitive but Mike is really great to work with and delivers beautiful work. He is super quick to respond to inquiries and we are thrilled with our t-shirts. We had a pretty quick turn around time for these shirts, and he was able to deliver on schedule.

Thanks, Mike at Against the Grain... Our fundraising project needed a quick turnaround not to mention quality and that's what we got! Since then, we've enjoyed several more orders. I can't wait for the next collaboration... Your enthusiasm is appreciated. No question was too small. Plus, your suggestions were helpful in our design and subsequent re-orders. We loved being able to order smaller quantities for our budget at first.. Hooray for ATG. read more

Mike is the Man! This is a long overdue review but I'm writing this because I think Mike really deserves the credit. I work for a small startup and we needed about 25 custom t-shirts ready for an event on a short notice. Mike was able to complete the job on time and gave us awesome recommendations on what sort of t-shirts to pick out. We chose a Bella brand tee, which is fitted and high quality - similar to American Apparel but way cheaper. They are so comfortable and look so good! At the small quantity that we needed, we couldn't have gotten a better deal on price and quality. I would TOTALLY recommend and will go back for future screen printed items. Thanks so much Mike! read more

All I can say is wow. Mike was so patient with my team. He helped us with creative and execution, as our startup wanted to make the slogan to match our company's name font. The material for our tshirts is super soft cotton and a rich navy blue. He double checked everything meticulously and made she our final product was exactly what we wanted! read more

Mike at ATG is the best in the game. ATG is quality and experience. ATG cares about quality. Mike works closely with you to make sure what you are looking to create comes out great. The quality was extremely important to me, and it clearly is to ATG as well. Mike spent a lot of time working with us to make sure we picked the right sizing, color, and material. Needless to say, the shirts and hoodies came out better than expected. ATG is all about quality, and has the background to back it up. ATG has the experience. The difference between ATG and the rest is combination of both quality and experience. Mike has the background to put out a great product, and it shows through his work. I can't being to express how good our shirts and hoodies came out. I highly recommend Mike at ATG, and I am currently working with Mike right now on my second batch of hoodies and t-shirts. So stoked on what we've worked on, thanks Mike! read more

Above and beyond! I needed ten screen-printed tote bags made in 6 days, and Mike not only did a beautiful job, he did it for cheaper than CustomInk, even with a rush fee. He's so friendly and easy to work with, I'd recommend him to anyone. Plus, you get to say your item was "Handmade in San Francisco" - how often does that happen? read more

Found against the grain from yelp by typing in apparel printing. Met up with mike and showed him my logo design. I wanted prototypes made so i can see how it turns out. With that said, i only had 5 total quantities, and mike usually dont do orders that small quantity, but he made an exception to help me out. 1 of the long sleeves the logo was crooked so mike offered refund, but i paid half as a tip because of his kind gesture. 1 week turnaround, and came out good. read more

Mike is awesome! He helped us get bandanas made for a fundraiser in less than a week and also worked with us with a low minimum number of pieces. The design had very thin lines (around 1pt) and small text and everything came out gorgeous and spot on. I had a lot of other places tell me that the details were too intricate for them, but Mike delivered. Thank you so much! read more

Mike at ATC was prompt with responses and gave us a fair quote. We were more than happy with our shirts and tote bags. We'll definitely reorder with Against the Grain for our next printing need. read more

I highly recommend ATG. Mike is great to work with! He patiently helped us examine our options and made solid recommendations. We were able to stay within our budget, and the finished t-shirts were excellent! No one could ask for a better experience. read more

The beer is really good and the hipster atmosphere is a refreshing slice of home in an otherwise alien city.

Mike did a GREAT job for us!! Above expectations! We are a tech start-up that woke up one week before a tradeshow wanting custom t-shirts!! Sounds like easy to get done until you start looking for a vendor that can deliver on time, in reasonable quantity and at a decent price... I looked at about 5 in SF until I met Against The Grain and Mike. He has been super responsive and the outcome is super good. Thanks again Mike, you did a great job. read more
