When I overheard that my boxing gym was looking to get another set of gym t-shirts printed, I was curious and asked where they got their first set printed. When they said Staples (or was it Office Max) I told them to hold off until I got a hold of a my other friend who owns a local hot yoga studio. I remember my yoga owner friend mentioning the new t-shirt printing company he was working with and that he was satisfied with their services. I mean I get going to Staples for office supplies, but going to a proper printing company for t-shirts makes better sense and would probably get better service than Staples who probably just subcontracts it out anyways. Creative Marx is who my yoga friend suggested and we were able to get in touch with Christine over there. She was quick to respond via email and gave my boxing gym owner several options. One thing that he appreciated was the option to use different color t-shirt blanks without getting charged an extra fee as long as the silk screen print stays the same. If case, they did want to change the print design/color, the nominal cost was reasonable. When the owners asked for my opinion on the t-shirt blanks, I highly suggested the Bella Canvas tri-blend. I loved how the now defunct American Apparel Tri-Blend shirts wears and the softness of the material and found that the Bella Canvas equivalent to be a good substitute. It's better than the generic boxy cotton style t-shirts that you get at places like Uniqlo. Those are never flattering with their fit. The price difference between the cotton and tri-blend is only like $2-3 and well worth it. While everything could have been done via email, the boxing studio owner wanted to stop by and check out their facilities and the t-shirt materials in person. Christine was happy to oblige and scheduled a meeting with us (pre-COVID). She provided the Bella+Canvas swatch card to him free of charge to take home and decide on what type/colors of shirts he wanted. At the end of the day, he ended ordering around 100 shirts to sell to the gym members and to give out as marketing items. As a gym member I bought 3 different colors of the tri-blends because they're my favorite type of shirt. I was glad to have a bit of input in the whole process and was able to represent my gym in a t-shirt style I prefer. The shirts were completed quickly and my gym owner was very happy with how they turned out. I believe he's planning on using them next time when he decides to make a new batch of shirts. read more

Christine has been my right-hand woman in getting all apparel done for my sorority. I met Christine 4 years ago when I got my high school tennis jackets done with her and fast forward to now, I could have easily chosen a myriad of other businesses, heck even businesses closer to where I go to school, but I CHOSE to always come back to her because of the way she handles our business. No one takes care of our merchandise needs the way Christine does because no matter what the problem, deadline, or event is, she will always accommodate our budget. She also goes out of her way to open her offices on the weekends and after hours so I can pick up shirts since I attend school an hour away. There have been times where I've given her a whole philanthropy order of almost 400 shirts only 10 days before the event and she delivered. And she does so every. single. time. Her prices are incomparable to other vendors and the quality is really amazing. I love first looking into the shipment of boxes to see our shirts because it's such a nice feeling to see your design come to life. I am always so happy with how everything turns out and have yet to have any discrepancies with poor quality or timeliness. I probably get something done with her once a month and am really grateful to have met someone in the business like her! read more

As part of a UC Department, I have used this company for numerous projects that range from UCI campuswide Athletic Rallies to team shirts to drawstring bags and so on. They have proved to ALWAYS be extremely reliable and professional. When I don't have a design, they come up with awesome designs for me. They ALWAYS get our orders on time. They designed the 2012 Guinness Dodgeball World Record shirts for me and did an excellent job with design. Can't tell you how many times I've used this company. The staff is absolutely wonderful to work with and very personable and understanding. read more

I first contacted them to inquire about their artwork services. My representative, was super friendly, informative, and quick to respond. We ended up using their design, which was AWESOME. Everyone loved it! Throughout the order process, I was pretty clueless about things so I asked a lot of questions and asked to see different options. I felt like I was an annoyance at times but if I'm paying for it, I want to be in the know. My representative was always very nice and professional about it! One of my items was damaged but they fixed it free-of-charge! Yay! Very nice people. My order was around 200 items and it took 11 business days, instead of the 7-10 expected. However, I am satisfied with the results so I guess I shouldn't complain too much! :) By the way, make sure you wash your hoodies/shirts/etc with cold water. I must've washed mine with warm water or something because the ink started cracking and peeling off! Gah! And once it starts cracking, it's just a downward slope and it looks pretty ugly. Lastly, remember to check your order when they give it to you, even if it's awkward shifting through 200+ shirts and stuff. Even though they were friendly with fixing the damaged project, it was still awkward to ask them after I had left. read more

We just had some company branded jackets done for our office. They came out great and Creative Marx was super professional and quick with our order. Working with Christine was amazing and she had great communication throughout the entire process. She did a great job of guiding us and giving her input on what would look good. We could not be happier with how everything came out and we will definitely be using Creative Marx for any future needs. read more

I am THRILLED about my business cards and new logo design from Creative Marx!!! I recently started a small business and naturally I needed business cards. Not knowing where to go, I tried a large chain printing company to make simple one-sided cards for me. Unfortunately the cards that I received were too dark and basically illegible. Not willing to settle with those cards, I decided to look for another printer and I found Creative Marx. I was speaking directly with the owner Christine and her associate Mariah. They listened carefully to suggest ideas to improve my previous design and even went above and beyond to design a new logo for my business! Mariah did a wonderful job at providing me with over a dozen variations of the logo and front design. She was even happy to go back to the drawing board after I was not completely satisfied with the first batch of designs. I don't particularly have a great eye for aesthetics either so she did a great job even when I was not able to clearly communicate what I wanted. THE BEST PART was that these cards were at a much cheaper price point than my previous chain printing company. I ordered 250 cards that were double-sided with a new logo design and they were cheaper than 100 one-sided cards. Also factor in that Creative Marx shipped these cards to Delaware in two days whereas the other printing company was local and had no shipping costs. Just a great deal all around, which is huge for me as a small business. Overall I am extremely satisfied with my experience with Christine and Mariah. They communicated professionally and listened to my needs throughout this process. Creative Marx definitely earned my business in the future for all my marketing and promotional needs. Thank you!!! read more

Creative Marx - Amazing design and print job by Mariah and Christine! Thank you! - Screen Printing/T-Shirt Printing Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I went here through a recommendation of a great friend not knowing that I needed an appointment. Christine happily took me in as a walk-in and we got straight down to business. She was very patient with me, gave me quotes for 3 three different t-shirt types and offered her own opinion on which one was the best. I was out of there within 20 minutes to bring a quote back to my group. I appreciated her communication with me through email as well. She responded in a timely manner. The shirts were ready within 8 days, and Desiree helped me with the pick up. She was kind and friendly. I brought the t-shirts to my group the very next day and they loved it! Both Christine and Desiree were helpful, friendly and kind. Working with them was easy. I would definitely come back to Creative Marx in the future. read more

I have worked with Creative Marx a couple of times now, and have been 100% satisfied with the results each time. Both Linsey and Vanessa do an amazing job at their works, and I couldn't be more happy to rate them 5/5 stars for their high quality and quickness in responding, creating and delivering. In addition, their pricing is comparatively low in comparison to companies like Custom Ink. You can definitely get the same quality for a much lower price. They have a variety of options for everything, so you can never go wrong with Creative Marx. read more

I found Creative Marx online and couldn't be happier with my decision to use their screen printing services. I wanted to make Welcome Bags for my out-of-town guests who will be attending my wedding in a few weekends. I had a design mocked up, but Christine with Creative Marx made the improvements to the design I had requests, so they turned out absolutely perfect! They provided me with the bags, but also outstanding customer service and turn-around time! Christine even personally delivered the bags to me, and threw in a few extra bags just in case! I'm so happy I worked with her, as she is very accommodating, easy-going and so responsive! And the bags look great! I know my guests will love them! read more

I needed some embroidery done for my team's jackets and Creative Marx had excellent options and quality! Our logos look wonderful embroidered on our jackets! They are super responsive and quick to turn around your request. Christine was extremely flexible to my needs and the price was a steal compared to all the other vendors we checked out. Would definitely come to Creative Marx again for any future swag that my company wants to order. So happy with our jackets!! read more

I've worked with Creative Marx for over 6 years now and I won't go anywhere else because Christine and her team provide THE ABSOLUTE BEST printing for my apparel business! I've hired other printing vendors in the past only to be disappointed because they don't communicate well, they're overpriced, or their printing was not up to par. Creative Marx is a breath of fresh air because they are always consistent with their quality, awesome customer service, and competitive pricing. :) Christine truly cares about her customers and will go the extra mile to make sure you are WOWed. Hire her and her team for your next apparel printing project - you won't regret it! Thank you so, so much for everything, Christine! You've got a customer fo' life! read more

I don't usually write reviews, but really got to give credit where it's deserved here... been in love with this place since our very first custom apparel order :) I couldn't possibly give enough props to Creative Marx and the team for the outstanding service they consistently deliver. It's rare to find a business that builds such strong relationships with patrons that goes above and beyond in terms of personalized care and bends over backwards to deliver the highest satisfaction. I feel extremely valued every time I come in with new projects and for that reason, I've been coming back for the past seven years. I can go on and on about this business-- top quality printing/embroidery, fastest turnarounds I've ever come across, exceptional attention to detail, and EXTREMELY accommodating. They get it right every single time. I can't say thank you enough to Christine and the team for ALWAYS taking care of us! read more

Very good quality printing service and the turnaround time was quick and efficient. Will be working them again very soon!

I used Creative Marx countless times when I lived in Orange County. As an undergrad at UCI, I was involved in a handful of organizations that required custom t-shits, sweatshirts, stoles, etc. I've tried several locations around Orange County but was never as pleased with my experience than when I work with Creative Marx. Christine Tran is amazing to work with! She is equal parts creative minded and business minded which makes designs and orders a breeze. She can easily adapt whatever logo you want into something that will work on your merchandise. Plus, I never have issues with getting my stuff on time. Creative Marx is so quick and efficient and is always proactive with keeping you updated on your orders. With many other printing places, I'm always afraid something is going to go wrong with my order and I wont know until I get my stuff. With Christine, she always keeps me in the loop and is constantly trying to make things work. Plus, there are no hidden costs. I feel like so often I'll make an order and I'll get screwed over because of pricing. This is not the case with CM. In this competitive market, Creative Marx is the best decision with the lowest costs and most accessible management. read more

This review is long overdue. I contacted multiple printers earlier this year asking for quotes. Christine was the first one to get back to me and gave me the best bang for my buck. I felt I was being overly complicated, as I was printing two different designs on the same shirt, but she was so accommodating and assured me everything would be taken care of. The process was professional yet casual. I mainly contacted her via email and she would respond within the hour. I sent in designs, finalized proofs, paid half, done. Simple and fast. I ordered ~150 shirts for a campuswide event and they were so nice that girls were begging me to place another order. Highly recommend. read more

As something that runs a small company and has consulted/advised multiple businesses in the past, I've used a quite a few of printing services. I found Creative Marx while doing a Google search one day and thought I'd give them a shot seeing that they were local. I needed company sweaters ordered and printed and "no problem" was what the person on the phone said. Long story short: We got our stuff right on time and they were AMAZING. Our whole staff and I loved how they turned out and were impressed by the great professionalism of this company. Anyone that chooses to work with this company will find their world explode in awesomeness. read more

Very reliable, fast turnaround, fun girls to work with! They're young and know what they're doing. I asked the girls to design something for my organization and they went above and beyond. The first time I went to Creative Marx, it was because another company messed up my order and couldn't meet our deadline. I was very frustrated because we needed the shirts for an event in three days. Creative Marx understood my frustration and did a rush order for me and completed my shirts before the event. I couldn't thank those girls enough! read more

When it comes to college clubs pulling off events and fundraisers with details that aren't finalized until the last minute, it's nice to know that Creative Marx is flexible and friendly enough to help get the job done. This past year my club held two large-scale events, and we wanted registrants to receive a commemorative shirt included with their registration costs. Within 24 hours of my submission for inquiry, Vanessa assisted us through the process, helped us ensure the prompt delivery of the shirts, and helped contribute to the success of our events when we needed an extra push! With an incredible team such as theirs combined with endless options for your needs, Creative Marx has my business (even from up in NorCal!) for years to come. read more

EXCELLENT FINAL PRODUCT, CUSTOMER SERVICE, ON TIME, & DELIVERED ABOVE EXPECTATIONS! Unbeatable price, fast delivery, and great customer service. The co-owner, Christine Tran, is a great person to work with . She will make sure you get the most out of your order. I love doing business here, because it's very personable and detailed customization is standard. If you have a rush shipping, she'll do it for you! Even if you need a couple orders done, the owners are very open minded for negotiations. I work at UC Irvine and this is the go to place for printing campus events, projects, and miscellaneous products. If there is an error, creative marx will gladly offer to correct the mistake faster than you can say BOOM. I've order here over 20 times and I always feel like I got the better end of the deal. This is a fast growing and upcoming printing company that will expand very quickly. I recommend everyone to give this place a shot, you won't regret it! Will come back and order more! read more

This review has been a long time coming. Creative Marx, and more specifically Christine, is the best company to get any type of screen printing done at. I've worked with Christine for many, many years now for various projects, and she never disappoints! No matter how many emails we exchange with different questions, design mock-ups, and order specifics, she's always more than willing to accommodate and put the customer first. I've ordered jackets, sweatshirts, and t-shirts in different quantities each time (from 10 to over 200) and they are always high quality. She even throws in extra shirts of different sizes free of charge in case we need more for our organizations. No matter my time crunch, Christine always gets my order ready just when I need it, even if its less than a week in advance. She's friendly, gives her honest opinion on artwork (when we ask and need professional opinions) if she feels the design could look better aesthetically/when printed or if we need help putting an idea on paper. Not to mention she always has the best estimates, even when I compare to other screen printing companies in OC! I will continue going to Creative Marx for all my apparel printing needs for many years to come. read more

The team at Creative Marx is extremely quick with their responses and are open to answering any of my questions since it was my first time printing apparel. Christine is extremely knowledgeable about  the industry and offers consistent quality between all shirts. They're extremely detail oriented and offer great competitive pricing, which I really appreciate. I'll definitely be using them again for future events! They also offer flock services here! Not a lot of screen printing companies offer flock! read more

I mean what can I say, Christine and her staff at Creative Marx are freaking awesome! I met with her to go over some logos for some printing I wanted on clothing to provide as gifts to my family after my wedding. She was very pro-active on sending me her ideas throughout the week. I can see why they are called Creative Marx cause she totally thought outside of the box on this project, and the results came out OUTSTANDING! To top it all off she got it done right before I left for my honeymoon so I was able to give them to the fam. I love how she has a sense of urgency and perfection when it comes to what she does. I would highly recommend anyone to them just based on the experience I had. read more

Christine and her team are top notch! I dealt with her and Mariah on a job, and they handled everything with care and professionalism. The shirts I wanted were a one color design and they look exceptional. Thanks for a job well done. HIGHLY recommended!!! read more

I needed to get shirts printed for my Fraternity and a friend recommended me to check out Creative Marx. They did an awesome job on our order.

If you are considering this printer, please take the time to read this as it is a real, holistic review that is completely fair. I am an apparel startup founder and I found Creative Marx online after seeing so many positive reviews. I thoroughly read every review here on Yelp, intricately dissected their website to find examples of their work, familiarize myself with their operation, and ultimately, educate myself on the company. I was so impressed by the reviews and positive "buzz" surrounding the company, I went so far as to cease my search for a printer immediately, feeling very comfortable moving forward with Creative Marx. I figured, shoot, if this many people think they're good, they must be, right? Wrong. To begin, I called the Creative Marx office one day when I got off work early, and asked if I could potentially stop by on my way home to ask some questions that were pertinent to my business, should I decide to use Creative Marx. The owner told me that I needed to have an appointment, which was totally fair, because she was under staffed. Unfortunately, when I struggled to find an agreeable day with her on the phone, I was surprised that she didn't say something to the effect of "You know what, if we can keep it quick, come on by. We'll get you all taken care of." Instead, she sat in silence as I struggled to find a time to meet with her. After I said, "I don't think I will be able to make it out any other day, she said, "sorry, I just don't have the time to spend with you today." Interesting. Since when do small businesses not go out of their way to help a customer? I'm an entrepreneur myself and if one of my customers needed me to go the extra mile, I'd go 2! So, when I got home, I emailed her my questions. I didn't receive a response for four days so I called the office, hoping to get ahold of someone. I received their voicemail. I left a detailed message with my call-back information. It has been three days and I have yet to hear from them via phone OR email. Wow. I decided to look elsewhere for a reliable, timely printer who has time for their clients. I came across Embroidme-Irvine. The owner of that business was a 180 degree turnaround from the Creative Marx owner. He actually took time on the phone with me, sent me quotes immediately, and asked if he could "earn my business." That was an immediate sign of a veteran business owner. Christine, the owner at Creative Marx was rushed, overwhelmed, and frankly rude. She didn't give me the time of day and she just lost my business. I look forward to directing all of my contacts away from Creative Marx. If your needs are not time-sensitive and you don't need to hear from the folks at Creative Marx but maybe once in a blue moon, they might be a suitable option for you. If however, you have deadlines, which most people do, I would highly suggest you look elsewhere. Happy Hunting read more

My experience. Needed tshirts done for an event. The deadline was close. Most others did not want to do them in such a time frame at all or made it so painful to deal with them. Some even changed the price when i drive down there to write them a down payment. My last resort, go to Creative Marx, and if it didn't go well, we wouldn't have tshirts at all because we were past everyone's deadline. I met with Christina. She was so friendly, professional, helpful, and most oddly, she wasn't stressed about what i was trying to do and for when. I actually had to ask her, "aren't you concerned about the timelines, etc?". She replied, "not really, we'll get it done" with a smile. I further inquired, "how are you so calm?". After chatting with her, it turns out she not only owns this business but is a wedding planner. I guess tshirt deadlines are nothing compared to a stressed bride counting on every detail being perfect for that big day. Makes sense, she has it together and all in perspective. After being at her desk for 20 minutes, we worked through details, she has awesome suggestions when i needed them, showed me the proofs, and throughout went above and beyond. 1. She called when she needed input for me to make decisions. 2. Always returned my calls 3. Was proactive. 4. Price and work was accurate 5. Finished a day early 6. Shirts came out fantastic. 7. One of the best businesses to deal with - period. 8. She cared just as much about our business and the result as we did. We have other events coming up, and looking forward to having Creative Marx be our go-to place for tshirts - and anything else that we need done, that they can do. read more

Creative Marx is THE place to go if you want to order any type of apparels, get things custom made and printed. They are so unbelievably easy to work with and, WOW, the turn around is so quick! Most places that I have worked with need a couple weeks to get an order done, but I have been stressed and needed many last minute orders within a one or two day turnaround and Creative Marx is there to help me out! Their prices are extremely reasonable and have a fun staff to work with! Many times, the manager there, Christine Tran, will joke around with you just to make things more fun and lively. read more

VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER: The quality of their printing was so bad and they refused to fix it. I highly recommend NOT GOING HERE!!! They will not apologize for their mistakes, nor will they rectify the issue. DO NOT GO HERE...QUALITY IS CRAP. read more

I ordered shirts for Recruitment for Chapman University and we are very pleased with our product. The designers were very attentive and really helped us with the best colors for our shirts. I will be recommending them when placing the next shirt order! read more

Creative Marx is my go-to ordering place! I run large departments and teams throughout my firm and on multiple occasions have found a need to get some spirit or team swag developed. From embroidered hats to both long and short sleeve tops, Christine has been an absolute pleasure in accommodating and realizing the ideas that come to my mind. At an extremely reasonable and affordable price, I refuse to go elsewhere. read more
