Fantastic shop for locals and tourists alike; it's just far enough off the beaten path that I think…read morelots of tourists need to be in the know to find it. I've driven by the shop several times and wondered what it was--I saw the solidarity fist; bar? Union headquarters? I found out what it was when I ended up here to buy souvenirs when flying home to visit family. They have TONS of stuff, lots of t-shirts and sweatshirts, but also hats, glasses, mugs... even pacifiers with the Chicago flag on them (you know I bought one for the toddler). They have some standard Chicago flag stuff but they also put their spin on it with some flags made with animal paws, or maybe my favorite was the one with apples on it. I think that's what lured me in, actually; my best friend is a teacher and I wanted to get one to take to her. The guy that works there told me the story, that the teacher's union was going to strike and this was a design they had come up with and Rep CHI started printing them. I looooooove the way the Chicago flag is used as the basis of so many designs and this is one of my favorites. Prices are super reasonable and you'll find lots of great stuff here. If you have visitors, I'd definitely bring them here first to look for souvenirs. The parking is fairly easy, all street in this area of Jeff/Portage Park. And grab a few of their little buttons on the way out!

I highly recommend Mike & his team to anyone who wants quality screen printing at an honest price…read more We used Mike & his team for a school-wide printing project. He worked closely with our STEAM coordinator to ensure that we had the materials to screen print almost 400 t-shirts. We had a student design the t-shirt, and Mike was able to make a screen print that looked exactly like the design. The students also loved being a part of the design and printing process. The materials used were high quality, and I know they will not fade after one wash. I would use Chicago Signs & Screen Printing again if we have another opportunity.

He didn't just sell me a fix, he proved that customer satisfaction is their actual priority. Dan met me at the door, took my busted screens for trade-in, and then gave me a live masterclass on where my reclaiming process was falling short. He even let me keep two functional screens after the demo! As a first-time visitor, I'm officially a customer for life. If you want a team that goes the extra mile, this is it.

Bought some emulsion from Atlas.....manufacture date vs delivery-to-me date made it 4 months old on…read morean item with a 2 year shelf life. Today is March 18, 2025......and the manufacture date of the emulsion was November 20, 2024.....so I have already lost 4 months of usability and I haven't even opened the product yet. As a small screen printer I wouldn't use a gallon in a year, so called and requested a fresh gallon. I was informed everything they had was from their 'einter' order and was all 4 months old, but they still considered it 'fresh.' I have been buying inks and supplies from them for while now....and was surprised they wanted to argue the gallon was fresh stock when the manufacture date on the gallon was clearly 4 months old. They would take it back but said I would have to pay for shipping. She literally told me that the 'emulsion isn't like food - it will be alright.' They have no quality standards apparently. They lost a customer....will never buy from them again because of their argumentative attitude. They clearly don't rotate or keep fresh stock of materials with time sensitive expiration dates.

Our partner in the business also was very impressed when he saw the T-shirts and hats. Not only did Madd Science Print Lab do a wonderful job, their customer service was exceptional. They were so courteous and personable. Any questions or requests we had were answered in a very timely manner. I had a bit of an odd request of having hats done for our dogs, which one was very small and I wasn't even sure if it could be done, but they figured out a way! (Thanks Joe!) We will definitely be returning when we need more T-shirts and/or hats. Thanks again Joe, Kaitlyn and everyone at Madd Science Print Lab!

The lack of communication left us high and dry without embroidered shirts just days before our event. I wouldn't have written the review about this company but their failure to even attempt to rectify the situation is what was most upsetting. I hope next time they leave a customer in a bind they step up to the plate and take action!

I cannot say enough good things about Darren & the folks at Belly Acres Designs…read more The product is great. The tees come out looking pristine. They've done a few designs for me and for my clients and the simple ones come out bold and bright, the more complex ones come out looking clean and detailed. That's not the point though. That's not why they get five stars. That's not why they're the only screenprinting company I will work with. It's because their customer service is unparalleled. I have never worked with a business so dedicated to helping its clients achieve the result they want. These guys will walk you through any questions you have, make sure you're satisfied BEFORE the manufacturing process. And their turnaround is incredible. Our mistake - we had a CD release show coming up and ran out of a bunch of sizes of our tees. About five days before the show, I put another order in. I didn't expect them to be ready, I even made an order sheet for folks at the show who wanted to buy a size we didn't have. I mentioned the show in conversation to Darren, never asked for the tees to be ready by that date. And then the afternoon of the show, I get a voicemail message. "Your t-shirts are ready whenever you want to pick them up!" Dang. THAT is how you create customer loyalty.
