I would wholeheartedly recommend QRST Custom Printing. I had a tricky job (photo printed onto tee-shirts). Customer service was outstanding! They checked in w several suggestions about overcoming fuzzy photo issue. Cynthia went out of her way to make the job come out great and to get it to me on a tight deadline. Great work. Total professional. read more

I don't normally leave reviews but we had an amazing experience with QRSTs for a last minute shirt for a company event. I went back and forth with the team about what would work for our shirts, which had been purchased separately already. I was expecting an issue with that, but there was none! Once they knew what the shirt was made of, they took care of it and the end result was fantastic. I'm going to use them for all my printing needs for work now, they'll never get rid of me. I love supporting a local business, but they make it so easy... the price/value with their customer service I received was second to none. read more

QRST's printed beautiful, purple, zip-up hoodies that we gave out as favors for my daughter's bat mitzvah. We wanted a hand-drawn image on the back and a logo on the front that we had designed ourselves. The quality of the hoodies, the quality of the colors on the images, and the attention that was clearly given to all the details all were beyond and above our expectations. The order was done two weeks before agreed on date, and when I came to pick them up, somebody brought them down to my car and helped load them in. Wonderful local company with kind and helpful people who are amazing at what they do. read more

I can't say enough good things about QRST's. I'm playing around with ideas for a potential small business lifestyle brand. I've bought embroidered knitty hats and baseball caps through Peter and QRST's. I told Peter I was looking for a high-quality product and he totally steered me in the right direction. Final hats were amazing. My experiences with them have been very collaborative, transparent. Trust. read more

Happy camper here. Wayyyy too often these reviews are misused as a place to bitch and complain, so here's something positive. Minor glitch in my order, and to their credit, Peter and Rachael immediately jumped on it and overnighted my order with a few goodies thrown in. I'll definitely be back with a Christmas order. read more

QRST has been more than helpful and flexible with my orders. They are fast, reliable and the printing has been top quality. And it feels good to work with a local business! read more

I love working with them, unlike so many companies, they actually give you accurate information about all aspects of getting your job done. You get a professional job well done with them, every time. Hundreds of jobs done for us and they are always done well. Probably even more importantly, if there is any issue from either side, they ALWAYS work things out. read more

Peter and the team are great to work with. I have been a return customer for years and am so happy with the quality product, clear pricing, terms, speed of service, and honest good working team all around. read more

Just picked up a rush order for my wife's Lego Robotics team (which is in its first competition tomorrow). A real rush job - she got the graphics to them this morning, we had the shirts at noon - two hours earlier than promised. Perfect! (Normally, we wouldn't look for this kind of turnaround. They went the extra mile, and very friendly about it.) My wife has been doing business with them for years, always happy with their work. This was my first time meeting the folks. Definitely recommend. FYI: In a very cool building in Somerville - lots of other cool small, and not so small businesses (Taza chocolate for example). Fun browsing the building directory. read more

I have used QRST' for over a decade. Outstanding quality of screen printing and embroidery. Always super friendly and helpful. Great production time and very competitive prices. I wouldn't take my printing anywhere else. read more

QRST's attention to detail is the best and the printing and embroidery is always finished when promised. The work is top notch, and their printing knowledge is great. I highly recommend using them for any work you have as well as help with designing. read more

Great service, communication, quality and turn around time! Everything from my first contact with QRST was outstanding. Had some fairly detailed graphic to be printed on blank tees and the color, detail, sharpness and quality was fantastic. Would highly recommend and they will be at the top of my list when I need a printer again!! read more

Phoned in on Thursday, picked up on Monday - bada bing bada bang! Riding my bike through the industrial part of Somerville to find their shop, I was expecting to find a bunch of spiky haired, torn jeans art school kids shacked up in a too small room, hunched over a printer. What I found was a spacious ground floor operation with four (?) machines, a rainbow brite assortment of stacked t-shirts and an affable, grown-up owner. Being a business savvy guy, he had heard about Yelp and was pleased to have us in the shop. He explained the technology behind their new direct to shirt printing (much like an inkjet, no heat, no template transfer) which allows em to bang your gear out with a quickness. And at a reasonable price too. Support local, go here! read more

QRST's Custom Printing - Seatard, Tarah H - Printing Services Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Our architectural office have ordered many different t-shirts, sweatshirts, and bags from QRST's and have always been very satisfied with our orders. Peter is always exceptionally helpful and efficient when designing and pricing the orders with me.

Peter and his team are awesome! We came to them to get mugs printed for wedding favors and they turned out *AWESOME*! Highly recommend this small business as they as super responsive and very easy to work with. read more

Responsive, professional, and friendly. Final product looked fantastic. Very good value - and they are able to print "just one" of anything custom! Hard to find. read more

I'm so thankful for QRST! I called them with a random request to print something on a single shirt I would bring in and they assured me I'd be able to do it! I used their online design website and it was super easy. And it was done 3 days earlier than expected! It looks great and now I have the perfect gift for my dad for Christmas! They're wonderful and the price was super affordable. I can't recommend them enough! And on top of that, they sit on top of Taza chocolate factory so you get all the good smells as you walk in read more

I've tried working with these guys twice. both times it's been very discouraging. It felt like they didn't want me there. Their website does not have accurate pricing. I was providing them with apparel, which I needed screen sprinted. Qrst's website states you need as little as 24 pieces to get the service done, which isn't the case. You need 36. I wasted so much time with this company I wouldn't recommend. They aren't for us Average joes read more

Great prices, top quality, and service great too. They have a lot of customers- meaning they do good solid business and are fair and people come back all the time. read more

Peter and his team are as good as it gets. From start to finish they were kind and professional. They went above and beyond to get me exactly what I wanted for my business's shirts. They're prices are pretty competitive with most of the online printing services too. Support someone local who actually cares. read more

There aren't enough stars to give! Top notch service from start to finish. From the second i reached out, the staff at QRST's was not only courteous and kind, but creative and quick as well. Their design team has helped me multiple times to create the perfect image/wording for a desired product. And they always have a fabulous selection of products from which to choose. Once finalized, the turnaround is always faster than expected, ESPECIALLY during these trying times. I have ordered things for 50-500 people, and the service is always spot on no matter how big or small the order might be. Customer service, products, design, all 5 star! read more

Year two working with QRSTs and we're still happy campers. This year they did shirts for a softball team we have and again hooked us up with our JPMorgan Corporate Challenge shirts (see picture). I cannot say enough good things about QRSTs and specifically Peter. Again, he was completely patient with my bumbling through getting him the correct information for our items and still rocked out some great work. We are so pleased with them and can't wait to work with them again. Maybe this time I won't have to call him a million times :) read more

QRST's Custom Printing - Printing Services Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

I had my art work totally ready to go and I chose these guys instead of the "other guys" because they had a good website with an electronic art transfer ability. They did good work fast and offered me the "local band" special. The guy I dealt with is Peter. He's a reasonable dude and does good work. read more

QRST's Custom Printing - This is a two color silk screen t shirt they did for me. - Printing Services Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Amazing customer service! Employee did a free trial run with the screen printing on my Nike headband. Got 15 headbands customized and they were ready in 2(!) days! Highly recommend! read more

QRST's Custom Printing - Quick and amazing customer service. The employee went out of his way to meet my needs! Highly recommend this place! - Printing Services Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Peter and the QRST's team was amazing to work with. I had an inking of idea for a shirt and Peter was super helpful on the phone and email to give me thoughts on shirt color given my design and giving tentative quotes. Also, Peter suggested I screen print the front and digitally print the sleeve to minimize costs, an option I didn't know could happen! I I was able to pick up a subset of the shirts and QRST's shipped out the rest. I was so appreciative of the great customer service from start to end. When I emailed an update to those getting shirts, I had to shout out QRST's: "If y'all are ever needing shirts printed (I think they do lots of other products as well), I sincerely recommend QRST's in Somerville." read more

This is our third year working with QRST's to get a big batch of t-shirts for an annual event that we run. The pricing is great, there is absolutely no compromise in the graphics, and the shirts are always ready weeks before we expect them to be! Will definitely be back next year! read more

Extremely pleased with my shirts. Needed custom shirts for an event. They helped design and it worked out perfectly. Don't go anywhere else.

INCREDIBLE! This company really cares. My son's teacher has cancer and despite QRST being limited to 5+ items they took on embroidering a single tote, communicated effortlessly, accelerated the timing so she got it quickly and then get this.. DIDN'T CHARGE US ANYTHING. They wanted to be a part of this special gift. We are so grateful to them. This is a company that have a big heart and is worth supporting. read more

I am so appreciative of QRST for their high-quality work and amazing customer service! I got a set of Patagonias embroidered here and was having trouble deciding what color thread to use. Peter and his team worked with me throughout the decision and even made sample embroidered logos for me to put over the Patagonias so that I could really envision what the finished product would look like. They were also very quick and responsive with questions via email or phone throughout the entire process! The QRST team really cares about what they do and works hard to make sure the finished work matches the clients' vision. They were able to get all my Patagonias done in time for a deadline I needed them by and the jackets looked AMAZING! I highly recommend QRST will definitely be using them for any future customization needs going forward. read more

I am very impressed with QRST's for custom printing. Last Friday, I brought in my singlet for the upcoming Boston Marathon to have my first name printed on the front and a custom design, not yet ready, on the back. The guys at QRST's quickly took my order and then delivered the total fee: $9. I actually asked them if it was a mistake, but it was not. A front and back custom design (black ink only) cost just $9, and it didn't even faze them that they hadn't seen the specifics of the back design. They promised to have it done in two weeks. I was able to send my custom artwork via email on Monday, and received a call today, Friday, that the singlet was ready--a full week early. It looks even better than I imagined. QRST's was quick, affordable, and did an amazing job. I highly recommend using them for custom print jobs such as personalizing your race singlets. read more

QRST's is such a backbone for my business. When I started my company, Let Them Eat Fashion, I wanted to find a printer who was well-priced, efficient, personable, and damn good at what they did. After some trial and error, I came along QRST's. Thanks to their Yelp deal, I decided to bring a batch of t-shirts to Peter and his team, and I was nothing short of completely satisfied with the finished product! Not only was the turnaround time wicked fast, the t-shirts were exactly how I designed them and of the highest quality. I continue to go to QRST's for this exact reason, and when something may fall short of what you expected, he is dedicated to making it right, no hassle whatsoever. There's something about a business that has an overflowing amount of integrity. It makes working with them comfortable, enjoyable, and mutually beneficial. Peter is a man of his word, down to the letters Q, R, S, and T. You don't find that type of trust and honesty nowadays, and it's something that Peter and his team have in spades. read more

I recently placed an order in with QRST's. I wish I could say I had a great experience, but I didn't. So you place your order by email. In my email, I specifically mentioned that I wanted Royal Gildan tank tops. The front picture for the image I provided was yellow on a Royal/turquoise/blue background. The back picture image I provided was also yellow on a Royal/turquoise/blue background. It should be very clear that I wanted my design on a Royal/Blue/Turquoise Gildan Tank. I think this is pretty obvious. So they send me back the invoice. First big mistake I catch is that they recorded t-shirt and not tank top. They sent me another invoice. I double check to make sure it is a tank top and not a t-shirt. Great. I approve and they tell me it will be finished by Friday. Luckily, they finished early. However, when I came to pick up my order the tanks were RED. This is a customer's worst nightmare. WHY WOULD I SUBMIT MY DESIGN ON A BLUE/TURQUOISE BACKGROUND IF I WANTED RED? Here is what really pissed me off. I said I clearly specified in the email that I wanted royal gildan tank tops. ROYAL GILDAN IS VERY SPECIFIC. The man retorted that royal was not blue. He told me Royal was red, and I was the one who was confused. Uhm excuse me sir, but royal gildan is pretty darn specific and accurate. Well I placed another order in. They offered 25% off and to have it by Friday. Great. Problem solved. I just am footed with a bill. Here is my advice: When ordering with QRSTs, they WILL make mistakes on the invoice, even when you thought you may have been pretty darn explicit. read more

I placed an order for 15 custom t-shirts 5-6 days before I needed them. I called multiple places that turned me down before finding QRST online. My first encounter was with Rachael, who informed me that they usually require atleast 7-10 business days but she would check to see if they'll be able to accommodate my order. Indeed they were. I placed my order on-line using their order inquiry page, and not long after I received an email confirmation from Peter asking that I confirm my order. Both Peter and Racheal offered superb customer service and guided me through every step of processing my order. I would recommend them to family and friends and I plan to utilize their services in the near future. Thank you to everyone at QRST. My niece was overjoyed seeing her face on our shirts as she modeled down the runway! read more

I consistently order from QRSTs for tshirts needed for an organization I am a member of at university. They consistently look beautiful, last long, and are finished in a timely manner. After years of ordering from Custom Ink, I was very impressed with the prompt ordering process, very reasonable prices, and quick turnaround. I do wish their emails/invoice had a sort of picture of your apparel with the design on it - which might beat some of the miscommunications in the other reviews. That being said, as long as you're reading your invoice over carefully then you should be all set. In my most recent order, I needed them sooner than we previously thought we would and QRSTs rushed it by a few days for no extra charge. We are eternally grateful. You can't beat the prices, for the timeline and the service which QRSTs offers to the greater Boston area! I will be ordering from here for my organization in the future! read more

I've been ordering logo t-shirts and polo shirts from QRST's for over 10 years. Three words describe what it's like to order from them: FRIENDLY - FAST - KNOWLEDGABLE I've placed small orders as well as orders exceeding 1000 shirts and my experience is always the same. The team is careful to understand my needs, they follow up and communicate well and they deliver the goods when they say they will. The quality of their work is awesome. I've never had to worry about my logo not appearing correctly or poor quality in general. QRST's is THE place to go for tradeshow shirt giveaways, team shirts, event shirts and company logo apparel. read more

As good as it gets. Very helpful and patient. Willing to take the time and energy necessary to get the job done according to high standards. I will be using them again. read more

with the score 0-3 in the bottom of the 9th, two outs, QRST stepped up to the plate and came through with a home run for me: 5 T-shirts , delivered....It wasn't cheap, but a one hour turnaround was a ridiculous request...Peter was patient and kept his promise... The website and design process makes it simple to design, compare products, processes and cost-out an order.... QRST ( curious name) has my business for life! thanks! read more

Great experience with QRST's. They helped me out and rushed a job for me - even finished ahead of the scheduled time. Shirts came out perfectly. Very nice staff, and always great to go local instead of an online company. read more
