I've been working with Dan and Amanda at CWP for many years and they are excellent! Prompt, professional and always producing a great product. Their in house graphic designer has produced several excellent designs for me. I would highly recommend this local business for all your graphic design, screen printing and vinyl needs! read more

I booked a sixteen person event on a Wednesday afternoon and Dan & crew knocked it out of the park! We got a tour of the place, heard a ton of great stories and history, and ended the trip by screen printing our own shirts! It was such a fun experience and something this group will be talking about for months to come! Thank you Commonwealth Press! read more

I love EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING about Commonwealth Press. Ever since they moved into my hood (Bloomfield) last year I never get a chance to visit elsewhere like I used to. All of their products are fun, cute, original and of the highest quality. Serious kudos to all they put out! read more

My love for T-shirts has been restored. Once upon a time I had a huge collection of quirky shirts and then noticed how un-unique they were starting to become. Then one glorious day I found Commonwealth Press while walking Carson Street on the SouthSide. To say I was overwhelmed is an understatement. I stood there in their shop alternating between the shelves trying my hardest to decide what Pittsburgh themed shirt I wanted more. It seriously took me a half hour to figure out which one was more appealing to me. In the end I decided they were all equally to my standards. I just have to go back multiple times to be able to buy each one I want. Or, for my convenience, just order them online. The staff in the shop were very polite and knowledgeable about their clothing and didn't hesitate to help me when it came to sizing. The girl manning the store at that time was very enthusiastic about the particular shirt I picked out and so excited that I chose it that it made me feel that I was buying it for her and not me. I was happy to see that they represent more than just Pittsburgh too and kind of branch out to western PA as well. Also there are shirts there that are aimed at helping raise money for certain causes. Some shirts have a little blurb to explain the meaning behind the shirts, or just ask and the staff are happy to tell you. I truly hope that if you have a yearning for a Pittsburgh themed shirt you stop in here. It's a must. read more

I was here for a Yelp event born in the burgh. The owner was extremely nice and went thru the entire printing process as well as the history of the company, Which was very interesting. I was also able to screen print my own t-shirt which was really cool. Commonwealth Press Warehouse does small and large screen printing jobs. As the owner said they will print on just about anything and they have. If I was ever in the market for a large quantity of things to be printed this would be my first stop read more

Love them! Love the vibe, love the Pittsburgh pride, love the merch! Here's the dealio. You can find great ironic sports apparel. I love that they were the ones that took the Zoltan symbol and made it blow up in the Burgh. Two simple hands make a big statement! I also thought it was funny that they have a black Tee that just has a gold "Sports" on it. Pittsburghers are so crazy for their sports it doesn't even matter what it says, just as long as it's black and gold, they'll wear it! If you're thinking of something to get the person that has everything and loves this city, this is your spot too! I really like the city neighborhood Tee. It shows every single hood in our fine city, which there are A LOT of. They sell online, so it's perfect if you're buying for someone out of town. And maybe throw in an item for yourself too! read more

I am a huge fan of shopping local. Commonwealth Press has a couple of brick and mortar stores but it was neat to go see the warehouse where all of the magic happens. It is a warehouse but it is being remodeled and it is coming together nicely. One of my favorite things was a bubble window. It is in a wall on the inside. It's unexpected and fun. The owner gave us a short tour and also gave us a brief history on Commonwealth Press. I was impressed with his story of how this company came to be. (He had lost his job and decided to try something new.). It took time to build up his company but it seemed like only a short time. However, people know quality when they see it. Commonwealth Press is 100% quality. We had the opportunity to screen print a t-shirt. The shirts that we had to choose from were very soft. They weren't stiff at all. You knew that they were going to be very comfortable to wear. We were given four screens to choose from. I went with the dog themed one. It was fun to do and it turned out great. They even have a little machine that you put it through to dry the paint. It was very cool. What is even more cool is that CP can screen print pretty much anything you can imagine (as long as it isn't racist or something crazy like that). So the sky is the limit! Having a family reunion? Have shirts printed. Are you part of a cool group? Have shirts printed. Running for office? Have shirts printed. On a sports team? Have shirts printed. You get the idea. Why buy online when you can buy local and support our economy. You will be glad you did!! read more

Commonwealth Press - Screen Printing Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This place is fantastic! Fun, unique and witty Pittsburgh themed shirts at affordable prices. A lot of times you see specialty shirts like this costing $20-$25, but theirs are only $15 each. The selection of designs and sizes is also fantastic. Many of the styles come up to a 5X which is unheard of in most other places. The owner is very friendly and enjoys talking about the designs and process. Well worth the visit. I know I'll be back! read more

One of my favorite Lebo family-owned businesses! The retail store in Uptown has perfectly unique gifts for anyone. I'm always stopping by to window shop! My family also owns a music store in Texas and we get all of wearable merch printed at the CWP warehouse. They are so great to do business with! Thank you, CWP! read more

I have never met such a passionate owner. The vibe in the warehouse is totally set by the employees and their happiness there.

I was lucky enough to come here for the born in the burgh yelp event. On walking in I was greeted by fellow yelpers and employees. At first I wasn't sure what to expect being I was rolling in by my self and knew no one. After a little bit of walking around I met some great new friends and bonded over yelping. There was some food provided by onion maiden that was delicious! I'm not a huge fan of deviled eggs but I had to try them and I'm happy I did. The cheese with the bread was excellent. The wontons maybe the best I have ever had absolutely insane and packed with flavor. The main thing that kinda bothered me was there was not any forks or knives out. You would think with it being finger food all is well but the eggs kept breaking with the tongs, the apples where difficult to pick up, and I wish I could have had my own knife to spread out things better on the bread. But I think it's just me being kinda picky. Overall the food was excellent and just a tease I'm so gonna have to head to the main shop and have some dinner soon. The owner of commonwealth was super funny and engaging with the crowd. He did a wonderful job with talking about the shops/storefront, the process of screen printing, how the image was born and what it is now, It was definitely a good event and I've always loved there products. I'm looking forward to what's to come from the shop and maybe another printing event down the road. read more

I enjoy supporting local businesses. Commonwealth Press is no exception. A friend bought me one of their Pirates inspired shirts for Christmas and I've resisted the urge to stop by the shop too often because I want to buy all of their t-shirts every time I'm there. They are uniquely clever with a Pittsburgh flavor. Some refer to our sports heroes (and losers), some reference our neighborhoods while others just display sayings or pictures that can only be described as Pittsburgh. I bought what I'm calling the list of bridges shirt that I will proudly wear, both here when I'm out and about but mostly when I'm out of town. Commonwealth Press also does custom screen printing, too. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I'll be back for more t-shirts soon. read more

Alright, first off I have been coming here to get their cool unique shirts ever since they first opened and were just an unknown store with just a screen print machine in the middle of their store's floor. Therefore, I did not at all appreciate the attitude of the girl who was in the store (supposed to be waiting on me). I had to at least give them an extra star because even if they do have miserable people working the floor they do have unique Pittsburgh shirts. I needed to try on a size, and she just pointed to their sample sizes and did not lead me to anywhere. So, I just walked into the bathroom. Then as I walked out after being satisfied, she just stood there after I told her I was good with the medium. I was actually confused as to if she even worked there because she did not even seem like she was interested in ringing up my purchase. I guess when stores get big they allow their original and loyal customers to leave feeling frustrated and annoyed after being treated like I wasn't worthy of even looking at their "famous" Zoltan shirt. Looking back, part of me just wants to return the stupid thing. read more

I love this place! Great price for shirts and other things that only true Pittsburghers would understand. The staff is always awesome and welcoming...as I said, it's somewhere I stop every time I'm in town, even if just to look at the new shirts and fun things they have. If you are from Pittsburgh and you want to support local businesses, then go here! read more

I've been visiting Commonwealth press for some time now and never really thought twice to write a review-until now so......if you have a love of t-shirts and/or (particularly and) Pittsburgh sports (or just have mucho Pittsburgh pride in general), do yourself a favor and buy one of the many unique t-shirts they have. Most recently, I bought a t-shirt that had the old 3 rivers stadium on it (nostalgia anyone?), and thye had a similar one with the old civic arena on it as well. They have a small dressing room where you can try on stuff which is convenient. Also, any of these shirts would make a great gift for someone who has that same Pittsburgh pride factor going on. Staff has always been friendly and helpful with finding specific items we were looking for. Highly recommend popping in the next time you find yourself in the south side! read more

I cannot speak highly enough of this local business. After attending two events at their place, one in their warehouse in South Side and one at their storefront, I found myself a huge fan. I am not originally from Pittsburgh and just moved here a couple of years ago so I can't get into all of the Steelers gear. I do love a couple of their Pittsburgh shirts, however, and can't wait to see what they come out with next. The owners, a husband and wife power couple, are extremely friendly. They are the type of people who will sit there and talk to you about their operation, and are up for answering any questions about their process you may have. Commonwealth Press gets "2 thumbs, way way up there." read more

This is a great place to go if you want to experience some genuine, Pittsburgh culture. Their merchandise is great quality and is covered in all sorts of Pittsburgh (ese) colloquialisms and artwork. Steelers fans will feel right at home here! Also, the staff is very friendly and accommodating and the owner is a real people person. Check this place out! read more

So i initially wrote a bad review cause of the customer service i received...or didn't rather...HOWEVER..there is a reprise. I FB messenger-ed the business to tell them how disappointed i was and the owner contacted me directly, apologized and now it is the midst of helping us with the project. THAT is truly customer service! I am glad i reached out...it is better to let a business know when the DONT meet ur expecations as well as when they exceed it. This has now made all the difference...i am HAPPY..cause they do great work. SO keep in mind...one ill-advised employee can make all the difference as far as business and repeat business...make sure they always represent you, as if it is their business and livelihood on the line as well. OLD REVIEW WAS: "Wanted to love these guys....cause i have seen good work, yet terrible interaction with person answering the phone. So i called about a rush job...i am happy you guys they are busy, yet...you do not tell someone, mid-sentence..."wait wait wait, we are too busy and not taking any more projects this week"...then um...ok..hang up. Really? Not cool. You need to let someone finish their sentence, listen to the needs and if you are to busy (which is great), then suggest a different solution....but you dont handle it the way we were treated this am. You staff needs to be better trained as to how to handle issues better. Super disappointed." read more

i went into CWP with an idea and a graphic. They were able to quickly get it from idea to actual design and put the shirts out to print. Amanda was not only great to work with, but the pricing was very good and they are totally local (which makes me happy). i'm excited to see the final product when the printing of my shirts is finished, but looking at the work in their shop, i know it will be just as good in real life as it was onscreen. i would not only recommend others to use CWP, but i will be using them again. read more

I buy my Pittsburgh shirts here - I now live out in California - and I have placed 2 custom orders for shirts - and their service, quality and price is so good that I continue to do business with them from across the country. Do yourself a favor and make it easy on yourself and deal with custom made shirts from Commonwealth Press. I say this all because I have dealt with other company's where I received horrible quality of art and of shirt quality and when that happens - it makes me look bad to the people that I am selling the shirts too. So I trust my reputation with them! read more

Have about 7 shirts made by these guys (mostly band shirts) and they always do really good work. Only think I regret is never getting a Prospects shirt in my size, since it's been retired. Picked up a Sebek is my Homeboy shirt and will proudly wear it in the west next week. read more

If you are looking to find the latest Pittsburgh sports shirts, this is it. If you are looking for the Pirates "Zoltan" shirt (the two hands making a Z), this is the place. They have a great selection of shirts, but right now the "Zoltan" shirts are selling like hot cakes. The shirts are $15 and they could definitely be selling them more expensive. Commonwealth Press starts trends (including starting the "Zoltan" shirts) and has a great friendly staff. read more

Awesome local Pittsburgh business. Check out the Troika skateboard line that Commonwealth makes.

Amazing T - Shirt! great service and I am planing on purchasing more from them! I highly reccomend them! read more
