TL;DR - So this is my goto now. Flawless, easy, kind people, and fun, with great value. THANK YOU ALL, ESPECIALLY TATIANA (and the creators!). Thanks again. =) ----------- It's wild how we're trained out of thinking locally vs using a giant, spammy, no good digital online service! Well, pardon me for being trained poorly by tech, because these people will be my answer forevermore. I needed a two day rush job for a DJ gig at a festival... I was panicked and can't believe this responsibility dropped in my lap. It was not even close to a panic for them. I sent some files that were not large enough... and they simply recreated it for my 5' x 3', sent me proofs, and printed it. They had the colors, fonts, etc... BUT, it's that Tatiana who managed my order was professional, kind, smart, charming, and endlessly helpful. When I went to pick it up, it was superbly crafted, perfectly done, high quality... and for the work they had to do, the coordination and calls, and proofing, then rush printing, etc... it was SO AFFORDABLE. Way way more affordable than I thought it would be. So this is my goto now. Flawless, easy, kind people, and fun, with great value. THANK YOU ALL, ESPECIALLY TATIANA (and the creators!). Thanks again. =)

We had an excellent experience working with Bill and his team on branding our company vehicles…read more Bill was a great communicator and a creative graphic designer, delivering fantastic concept options super fast, and making changes with no problems. I've worked with other companies of this kind in the past and the process can be so slow and painful. Bill made it very easy and was able to get his installer to our business in San Francisco in just a few days. The whole process was fast, seamless and we are thrilled with how our vehicles turned out.

I like to discuss the art and design right there in person with Tammy and the staff. I feel this has been the best experience with the label purchasing I have had ever. I love this company and encourage everyone that needs labels for anything to give them a try. They never come and pester and they are right here in town...awsome team. Thanks for our beautiful labels and we are excited to see the new Addyson label in the next few days.

They are flexible and patient with you. They have great pricing and costumer service. They do great work. If you are looking for a place for branding your company or need affordable quality embroidery work done this is the place to go in Oakland and the vicinity.

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get anything in my budget and on time. But Brand Marinade came through! I contacted 10+ vendors on Yelp across the Bay Area and I was so lucky to find a vendor locally in San Leandro. To have something so close by, good on price and willing to work with times and fast quotes was a godsend! They even redid my png artwork to AI with a custom font. Final product was perfect and as expected. Couldn't be happier!

Chester is a rockstar!…read more I needed to order jackets for our company and checked out various sites [4imprint, custom ink, etc], you name it and I probably searched for it anyways. I got referred to check out Swaggos hearing that they are quick and super communicative and during the times we are in right now, any company that can give me a great communicative experience, I'm all for it. Chester made the ordering, browsing, processing and delivery process SUPER easy and efficient. He went above and beyond to check in with me periodically to clue me in on how the production process was going and helped me coordinate delivery to various addresses. Everything just felt so easy, fast and simple ordering through Swaggos and it did not hurt knowing they are a local company. I'm all for Swaggos and just placed my 2nd order with them. They are a joy to work with!

They are absolutely the best…read more I've worked with a number of printers and designers over the years, and Mark Hanson and crew remind me of the best printers used by the best designers. They are steady, low-key, know their equipment and their materials, and deliver what they say they will deliver. Communication with them is ALWAYS excellent, quick, and to the point. I'm NOT a professional graphic designer or printer and don't always know the right terms but they've never looked down at me for that. BY COMPARISON: I live near a fancy photo/print/frame shop with in-house production. I thought I should "give them a try" with a time-sensitive project since getting to them doesn't require a drive across town. Standing in their shop, I had to ask three times before they grudgingly "let me" talk to their printer (who was right there in the back room the whole time and who sort of slumped across the counter and didn't really seem interested in my questions). That was the first sign of trouble. I am still waiting (three weeks later) for that shop to respond to my same-afternoon e-mail asking a couple of questions. MEANWHILE: In the three weeks that have passed, I've exchanged several immediately-answered e-mails with Hanson Digital, sent Mark a PDF to preview followed by a revised file to print, discussed and selected a paper for my time-sensitive project, received an e-invoice and paid it, picked up my prints, framed them, flown 2,200 miles across the country to deliver the framed prints, e-mailed Mark and team a thank you from the designer, flown home, and written this review. These are the people you call when you know what you want, and want to work with good people who want you to be really happy with the result. The prices are perfectly great but with high-quality printing, that's not what matters most. I used Hanson Digital for this same time-sensitive project last year. I'm so glad I went to them again this year. And I'll never NOT use them for any project I'm printing in SF that they can handle (they cover a wide range). There is really just no reason to go anywhere else.

He's both able to do exactly what you want and use his own innovation to create some beautiful custom decals and clothes! I ordered a decal for an artists that I've loved forever named Bonobo (check him own if you like Down tempo beats). I remember attending a concert and pining over a tee that cost $50 and a sticker that was $20.... like seriously wtf! I don't have a money tree growing in my backyard so I let the temptation go. Rob was able to make me the same products with exceptional quality for a lot less (I mean A LOT). I'm already making plans on my next Combat Graph-X piece. If you need something customized, ROB'S YA BOY!!

I texted him, and he was very quick and responsive. I let him know that I wanted a custom Raiders shirt, and we talked about some ideas I had. He then took those ideas and created a very nice design! The whole process from start to finish only took a couple days, and I was able to pick the shirt up well before the game. I also wanted a cool Raiders decal for my car, and asked if he knew anyone. He let me know that he actually started off doing decals and still makes them, so I was able to get a sticker from him as well! I'm really happy there is finally a custom clothing/decal guy in Hayward. His prices are very reasonable, (way better than those mall vendors!) and the shirts and decal material he uses all seem like they are very good quality. Doesn't hurt that he is super responsive and very helpful as well! I cant wait to get more stickers and clothing from Rob! Highly recommend him to everyone!
