I must say that Rowboat Creative EXCEEDED my expectations! Even with a rush order of 5 days they laid out the red carpet! I can't begin to explain how important these shirts were for my event and how amazing they came out! Lucas and the Rowboat Creative team stepped up to my rush order with professionalism and creativity! This is my new t-shirt printing company! I'm a believer! read more

It's not often you find people this passionate about their work anymore. Rowboat creative is truly second to none.

Rowboat Creative - Screen Printing/T-Shirt Printing Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

Worked with Rowboat recently on a super tight turnaround of a shirt order and they came through in the clutch. I'm talking...I totally should not have expected them to come through and they did. Correspondence was prompt, and my shirts were even better than the creative I submitted to them. Can't ask for more than that! Their reviews are mixed, but if you look closely their content resembles what a competing business may leave as feedback. I'd take those with a grain of salt cause in my experience Rowboat was every you'd ask for in a design firm. read more

We got 50 shirts printed using Rowboat Creative and when we received the shirts, all 50 had been mis-printed. Some were crooked, some were drastically off center, one only had half the color. We thought, " Honest mistake, right?" and so we called to ask not for a refund, but for a reprint. The owner REFUSED to even consider that he had made a mistake even though I was giving him measurements over the phone. He seemed to think this was an elaborate ploy to get him to do another printing. Rowboat Creative has the worst customer service I've ever experienced AND judging by the work we received they aren't even good enough printers to have such bad attitudes. NEVER, NEVER USE THEM! read more

Rowboat has gone above and beyond for our small business for over five years. The quality of work is exceptional 99% of the time, and during the 1% when something falls through the cracks, they do everything in their power to make it right. *That* is what truly separates companies. On more than one occasion, Rowboat has actually sent a personal messenger to deliver an order 50 miles away so that we could have it on time. We hope to be working with RC for many more years to come! - New Wave Lacrosse read more

Outstanding service! Joe is awesome. They recreated my son's pixel art for his Bar Mitzvah t-shirts. they were super responsive and turned everything around under a a super tight timeframe. I would highly recommend this company and will be sure to consider them for any of my business's marketing needs as well. read more

Rowboat Creative has always proven to be a professional and reputable company. As the auxiliary board secretary of Opportunity Knocks, I have placed many screen printing and embroidery orders with them, and all of my board members have been nothing short of satisfied. Many compliments to this company! I would recommend to everyone. read more

Absolutely love the custom towels that Rowboat printed for me earlier this month. The representative I spoke with was very helpful with the design, super attentive to my specifications, and the order was processed quickly. The towels arrived earlier than anticipated and are of excellent quality. I look forward to the next time I need something printed so I can go straight back to the guys at Rowboat. read more

Excellent company to work with! Lucas especially is very nice and accommodating and made the experience really enjoyable. The shirts I ordered through them came out really well, in a timely manner, and were exactly what I had ordered. I will definitely be using them again in the future! read more

I have done work on several Uniform sublimated dye printing on Patagonia Silkweight Shirts and Field Shorts for 2 teams, for the last several years. Rowboat, specifically Lucas, has been nothing but completely top notch, catching my mistakes and correcting them along the way. These are 2 shirts, 1 shorts with matching numbers, different logos, sizes and color (light and dark) etc, very complex, and they have been extraordinary! I love Rowboat (Lucas and crew), and will continue to give them my business and recommend them to all who I hear need some silk screening work, logo work, and printing. read more

I was recommended by another company and I should have done more homework and read Yelp. The customer service is terrible! The design was way off and now they are looking for payment even though the proof was never approved! The owner needs to work on training and his customer service responses by his employees. read more

I've worked with Rowboat on several exhibition projects. I'm a professional artist and art school professor who shows work in galleries regularly, both locally and across the US. My work often involves screen printed text. Every time I've gone to Rowboat for help in realizing my ideas, I have watched the owners go out of their way to listen to what I need and work to reach perfection of the idea. Rowboat is 100% professional. I will be back to work with them toward my next gallery show in February. read more
