I went to Custom Creations before Christmas (aka at a crazy time), because I wanted to print some…read morecustom T-shirts for gifting. I needed them in 2-3 days. TL;DR I had a very tight timeline, and they delivered. They printed the T-shirts by the next day. I had 2 PDFs of the T-shirt graphics that I made in Canva. I emailed the files that morning, but being a busy holiday time, they hadn't seen my email. Luckily I was able to re-send them the files from my phone (I recommend that you just bring the file to the store or tell them in person you're sending it). The graphic files needed to be tweaked for print, but Abe is very fast. He worked on the file right then and there at the store counter. (If you're particular about fonts etc like me, you may want to work with them while they do that to make sure you're getting what you want.) They actually tried to print them the same day, so I came back a couple of hours later. (I think if it's a design they already have/simple design, they can print it within 1 hour, given they don't have other jobs lined up.) A font color on one of the T-shirts was a wrong color, and the other design had a spot where the line was disconnected, so they had to be reprinted. So I pickled them up the next day, but even then, that was a fast turnaround. The only caveat is that the base T-shirt colors/types may be limited. When I went, the only choices were white, black, gray or red in 100% cotton. (I'm not sure if they have more choices if I hadn't gone at such a busy time.) Also, unless you specify the size of the design, they may print the design really big to take up the front of the shirt. I had a more understated design in mind, but when I came to pick up my order the rectangular graphic took up the maximum space on the front. So if you have a vision about where you want the design to go, you might want to communicate that. I didn't know what I was doing, so I didn't press what I wanted--that's on me. All in all, I was impressed they could deliver in such a short amount of time. If I were to do it again, I'd try to go there at a less crowded time.

They were very helpful and went above and beyond! Made my custom shirt right on the spot! The…read morequality and print of the shirt are top notch

I do like the shirts that were made, but that was because of PB and J textiles. I've worked with them before and they're great. Just go straight to the source. This is a broker company they don't do the work themselves.

With delayed shipping, I only had a few days to get it finished. But thanks to Maryna and Vlad at PC, they worked to get all 52 jackets embroidered (I'm pretty sure they worked through Thanksgiving) so that I can have all of them on my flight early Monday morning. Despite the rush, they did an excellent job. In fact, I can tell they care about detail because the sewer wasn't happy about how one of the jackets turned out (but because I provided my own, couldn't be helped). I can't tell what's wrong LOL If you have printing or embroidery needs, don't hesitate to reach out to these guys. Great price. Great service. Wonderful people!

We sat down and designed a shirt from scratch and had it beautifully printed on a high quality t-shirt in under an hour. I'm sure that can't guarantee that kind of turn around all the time, but they clearly want to take care of their customers. I will be back!

Their website states they have no minimum order quantity, and claims, "From one T-shirt to 10,000,…read morewe've got you covered". Well, if you are looking to have just one item printed, expect to be treated like they don't give a sh*t about you. I had to call and email them several times just to get a reply, and then they just stopped replying all together. If they had initially simply said they're not interested in doing such a small order, fine, at least that way I wouldn't have wasted my time trying to get them just to respond. But when they let you know they don't want your business by just ignoring you, while at the same time claiming they've "got you covered" no matter how small your order is, well that's just irritating. So, my advice is, if you are looking for a local print shop to do a small order, don't bother wasting your time with Banksii. I recommend Pork Chop Printing in SODO. They were happy to print my shirt (even on very short notice) and were very responsive. Edit: The owner's response to my review is very inaccurate. It is true that I said I had decided to not go ahead with the order (which I decided mainly due to his lack of responsiveness to my emails/calls leading up to that point), but a couple days later I decided I would give them another chance. So I called and left them a voicemail but never received a reply. I then sent them an email, to which they also never replied. I then tried using the chat feature on their website and never received a reply to that either (it claims that they reply to chat messages within one hour). So his claim that "All email were answered" is total BS. As far as his claim that "All of our services on the website list minimum order quantities, except vinyl", while it is true that it says that on the individual pages linked under their "Services" page, the FRONT PAGE of their website says, again, "No minimum" and "From one T-shirt to 10,000, we've got you covered". So, like the owner's response to my review, their website is very misleading. So not only are they obviously not interested in your business if your order is small, but they apparently are dishonest, too.

Visit Manitou Springs, 501c6 Non Profit, also produces several local events for the community to drive economic boosts in the shoulder season. The Emma Crawford Coffin Races is one such event, and Event Manager put out a request for bid on the merchandise (approximately 700 tshirts) to 3 companies, 2 of which are local to Manitou Springs (and also Chamber member businesses) and 1 to Norwest Graphics (NG). NG submitted the lowest bid, and after sending a sample design of an order to review quality, Visit Manitou Springs awarded majority of the production to NG, a company they never worked with before, out of range and not a member of the Chamber. The design was a contest of local artists, and as the winner was selected,NG received the artwork 9/17/24 with correct colors and design to move forward with production. They provided proofs that were exact to the colors the artist used. On September 23, 2024, Visit Manitou Springs paid Norwest Graphics $6,460.40 for the shirts in advance. They committed to providing 609 total unisex pale blue tees, youth tees, and baseball tees. The shirts arrived on 10/11/24 and I had correspondence with NG via phone and email- the colors were completely wrong on the design. The center of the design, a skeleton, was YELLOW, not white. Norwest Graphics offered nothing more than 10% off a FUTURE ORDER for this mistake. I contacted NG several additional times to try and discuss, as our Board of Directors were very dissatisfied, but he quit answering all of my communications, leaving us holding 609 tee shirts incorrectly printed and VASTLY different than his proofs. No attempt to resolve though they are entirely at fault. I am left with faulty designs after paying over $6,000, dissatisfied leaders, artist, and event attendees. Unable for our Non-Profit to purchase another quantity of tees, there was a lacking in our 30th Annual event this year due to the nature that Norwest Graphics does business.
