The team at a.k.a. is phenomenal. I came in with a last-minute request to get some hats done for a holiday party. They were gracious enough to help me carefully choose three different hats, recommend embroidery and we're able to rush the job and get it done just in time for our party. The hats are beautiful and everyone was amazed with the quality of the materials and the workmanship. Thank you very much a.k.a. we appreciate you and plan to support you in the future. read more

After much searching for a shirt printing shop I decided to go with AKA. These guys are awesome! Seriously, I don't write too many reviews but I walked in on a Saturday afternoon with a few of my own shirts for my new project and they were ready by noon on Tuesday. Jason was a straight up guy and their quality is also really good. Not to mention their prices were so much better than other shops around town. All in all, check these guys out. You will not regret it. read more

I had a vendor that let me down really badly. I had a convention in Las Vegas starting Tuesday and by the end of Friday, no product. I went to AKA on Saturday and worked on an alternative with Javier. I was so stressed but he was super calm and extremely helpful. He worked with me in preparation and set himself up to start knocking this out first thing Monday morning. Sure enough, as promised, I had 300 items of the customized swag in hand a couple hours later. No fuss, no issues. Just brilliant service and and excellent quality workmanship! I can't recommend AKA highly enough! read more

I fucking hate YELP... but for AKA I am happy to post a review. Epic from the word go I met these people in Vegas at a trade show. They threw an offer on the table and I took them up on it. Contact was quick, the work is quality, and they are super cool. As for my disdain for this site... word of mouth should be enough... trust in AKA ... I will be back for sure. read more

First and foremost - the quality of their prints and is unmatched. AKA is very professional and they offer highly competitive pricing.

Super helpful. I came in for a pair of Knockarounds and the guy helping me knew all about the company. It's a cool little shop. I would definitely go back to check out their other stuff. I just needed a pair of sunglasses. read more

A few years ago, I was in the back of the cool bus and this skinny little otter named Suavi rolled up to me. With a sparkle of hypnotism in his eyes and a sly grin that he inherited from the devil; he told me "you know....if our eyes never lock, none of this ever happened." And I believed him. I am a sucker. But...that meeting has benefited. That little coffee skinned otter is part of the talented AKA team. They did my handkerchiefs for me and honestly, I was amazed that these bastards did a way better job than my other professional contacts. Handkerchiefs aren't an easy print. The guys at AKA printed them perfectly. Seriously. They have my business from now on. Shirts, knives, handkerchiefs, record covers. They got it. My Chula connections weren't happy with my decision until I showed them the work. They said, "Yeah, go to them. That shit is tight as f*ck." read more

Sometimes you have jobs that need to be done at the last minute and Javi and the crew saved me. I needed some t-shirts screened for our film to wear at Comic-Con and they were able to do it for me quickly, efficiently and a great price. Since this was a rush job for me, I got the T-shirts myself and just brought them in to get the logo silkscreened and our shirts done 2 days before the Film Festival. The final product was excellent. It highlighted our small film but at the same time, provided our audience a guide to who our wonderful Mascot was, Mr. Raindrop. We only needed a small batch but Javi was willing to work with us. Hopefully as the we need more shirts upcoming, we will order a bigger volume but his flexibility helped this Film Producer out of a jam. Thanks AKA, I am definitely recommending you to eveyrone I know who might need your service. Except as busy as they are, I will tell them to make sure there is lead time. But as always ask Javi and Jason and they will let you know if they can or cannot do it upfront in your time frame. Thanks Guys, until next time. read more

For me it's all about communication, and customer service. I don't have anything clever to say, I just know that being a very small business of one I was happy to find someone that would make me a small number of shirts and not charge me an outrageous amount of money. Jason responded quickly to my emails and didn't make me feel uncomfortable when I asked a ton of questions. He communicated that the tank tops I originally wanted wouldn't be available in time for my event and had a back up plan in place. I'm so excited about the shirts, they are soft and simple Just perfect. Thanks again AKA, I'm happy to give you my business. -Kim with Hair Love Design read more

My go-to place in SD! Met Javi last year and learned about this company. Not only the gear is very edgy and cool, but the printing shop is of great quality and prices are legit. I know they even do massive orders for festivals, bands and companies. If you need tshirt, printing services and feel cool, come here. I specially love the vibe of the store located in North park and own a couple of shirts from its apparel. read more

Our RUDE DOG 80's Night needed that extra bit of promotion, so I took it to the next level by collaborating with the solid dudes at AKA to create promotional t-shirts for the night. Not only was it mind-easingly simple, but the rate & prices were great; quality was on point. A return customer is what they now have in me. See them for your next level shirt ideas. Looking forward to the new location, fellas! read more

Not to mention AKA has the experience and know how to advise you on your project to get the most out of your $. WHEN YOU GO- see my friend Javi. He'll take your artwork and make it reality. Or he'll help you make your idea come to life. Or he'll take your dreams and make them come true. Javi knows. read more

AKA is great. I've used them twice so far to have shirts made for my business and was glad I did both times. Awesome shirts to choose from. I never have a client feel a shirt without commenting on the softness and quality- not something you often get in workout tanks. The screen printing is top notch and always comes out how I imagined. The last time I ordered, I used a design with a lot of very thin lines. I was afraid that the thin lines of ink would crack and look bad over time, the way you see prints on shirts do. But it has been a year of working and working out in those tanks and I have never had a single line crack at all! Awesome. read more

This review is solely based on the wonderful art that has come from both Javi & JFeather! Brilliant and Talented are they! The Art and Music that was donated to different auctions on my behalf , was fantastic. Words cannot express the gratitude and appreciation I have for them and for AKA. JFeather & Javi are exquisite artists. They take pride in their work and it shows. Too step up and give pieces that took time , consideration, and that are just really bad-ass is a testament to their selflessness and awesomeness. I feel honored to own a piece of art that was created, donated, auctioned off , sold and then given to me as a gift! I get complimented on it every time I have company over to the new house. It feels great to be rebuilding my art collection piece by piece, slowly and steadily, and to already have obtained something from AKA is just way rad! If I could give AKA fifty million trillion bahdillion stars I totally would! Instead my heart is now forever indebted to them, AKA and the Industry Bastards. Much Love and a Ginormous Thanks to the Both of you! read more

I had a specialty order done for halloween, Javi made me and my dad coveralls with Vamenos Pests emblems. I dropped them off on a monday and boom they were done that weekend. I was actually surprised to see how much it took to make our costumes come to life, but the boys at AKA made it happen. I'll be back soon to pick up so Indusrty Bastards gear, all the cool kidds are. read more

I've got two of their tees and have given others as gifts around the globe (well, Canada anyway. That counts, right?) Best thing ever, though - i'm living in an uber right wing religious town and my 'kitty in a pentagram' tank top once caused a woman to stop me on the street and talk to me about letting jesus into my life. I call that success. read more

Great service and very helpful. I needed custom apparel and they delivered and exceeded my expectations. Their response time is quick, whether it's by email or phone and they were able to answer all of my questions. Overall, I'm switching over and doing all my custom printing here. I highly recommend AKA and their shop in north park has a lot of cool items too. read more

This outfit is tops in my book. I recently attended an event that had shirts designed and screened by them. They were seriously rad!

These guise really know how to screen print the shit outta some shirts. And they look good doing it. Me-Ow! That Javi fella is one fine piece of Latin man meat. Plus he's a true professional, unburdened by sleeves (or distractions), who delivers a product on time and within the specified budget. He even helped design a shirt for my friends bday that painted a beautiful portrait of the things that make my buddy a giant bag o' dicks. 5 stars all around! Pro-tip: AKA will remove the sleeves of any shirt you request to accommodate these warm San Diego days. Bc sleeves are for pussies. read more

The dudes at AKA do not mess around, I would give em 6 stars if I could. I placed a pretty healthy order with them, and the turn around was more than impressive. They are Highly Skilled Screen Printers / Customer Service Champions ... CALL THEM FIRST read more
