Perfect local spot, to create your own Christmas presents! I had the idea of making t-shirts for…read moremy whole family for the last ever sporting event at the Metrodome in a few weeks which we will all be attending. So my wife and I thought, she could draw up a design and we could bring it to a local print shop to have the shirts made. I'm so glad we chose 87 Central, we brought our own design in and the staff there were super sweet and ready to help! Even for an order of only 12 shirts, they treated us like we were a huge order. They whipped up a mock on the computer and asked us when we could pick them up later that day! I thought it might take a few weeks to get such a special order made, but they had it ready for us in the matter of hours! I thought it was cool how many American Apparel color options they had in store, so we didn't need to make a special order, even though we had kids sizes, women's fit, and a couple of 2x orders. The staff went over all the cost with us, and even gave us a little deal since we designed the designed ourselves! When we arrived to pick up the order later in the day, it was hanging with other orders completed on a little hanger in a special canvas bag with our name on it that we got to keep. The service was above and beyond and I highly recommend using 87 Central if you plan on getting t-shirts made for an event or for your next family reunion.

Very disappointed!! Started trying to do business w them 3 weeks ago, I asked for a specific style…read moreof shirt a week later they came back and said they couldn't find it.. I found the manufacturer that day and asked if they could order from them and they said sure, no problem. Then the design.. I gave him a pic of my business card for a style to go from and Shawn went the whole other way.. Frustrated by this I made my own design and sent it to him.. He said he was working on it. I see the design, FOUR days after he said he would have it done, and it looked nothing like what I had made.. He said he couldn't open the picture so he just made something else up. WHAT!?!?!!!! In the real world we have deadlines. And when you tell someone it will be done, it should be done! There were so many emails that I had sent to him that were unreplied, I felt like I had to keep prodding them along to get something done that ended up being nothing! I did not order shirts with them, they couldn't get a design right and were wasting my time! I really wanted to keep my money in the community, if you do too try broken arrow printing, ABC sign, or custom ink. Try anywhere but here!

We did all the planning by phone and email…read moreand Blaines accomodated my request to hold on to the shirts for more than a week before I got to Iowa. We have a design composed of a circle of smaller designs and when it wouldn't all fit on toddler shirts, I saw okay, just pick one. Nancy surprised me by enlarging the one she picked so the toddler shirts are also very special. We did not find a flaw or smudge in 24 shirts. Thanks, Blaines !

I learned about this place through Yelp event I attended. This was a really fun event! I got to…read moremeet Ashleigh and Elena, the owners of this shop. They were super nice and Ashleigh showed us how to screen-print our own shirts. I really enjoyed learning how to do it. It was fun and easy to do and the shirt designs were so professional-looking. We got to choose from four different designs and choose the color and size of t-shirt we wanted. I always love events where there's a make-and-take. The shop is really cool and has a lot of fun designs for t-shirts. They also sell coffee mugs and drinking glasses with a Des Moines logo that Ashleigh designed. Another great thing about their merchandise is that it's all so reasonably priced unlike a lot of other t-shirt places out there. They also do mobile screen-printing. They can come to festivals, small parties and corporate events and people can print their own t-shirts. That's such a cool idea! I can't believe nobody thought of it before. You have to come and check this place out.

That's just one reason I love it! They let you be hands on and see the cool process of what they do! Each time I have seen their pop up customized print shop at work it has been unique to the festival or farmers market they have been working in! I have never seen anything like this and I think it's totally crazy and awesome! They also do design services. If you want to find out where they are popping up shop, keep an eye on their website or facebook page. And go get your hands dirty!

This was my 3rd time having work done. The first two visits/jobs were done just the way I requested…read more& looked great! This last time however. Not so much. Extremely disappointed with the finished product. It was my American Legion Cap. Nearly 3 years ago I took my Legion cap in to have the word "Commander" embroidered on the side. Gold letters. Came out perfect. Last week returned to have "Past" embroidered above, in smaller letters. When my cap was sent back to me. The word 'Past' was way larger than requested. Shocked. Not at all what I wanted or how it should look on the cap. So upset & displeased. I cut out the stitching myself. UPDATE: This business did get back to me to redo/refund. However, I will not take my cap back. As I do not wish to take the chance of having it damaged.
