Art Factory

I believe in using small, locally owned businesses. I was so pleased with finding Art Factory and being able to do business with them. After a few misfires on my part (they were always so helpful even when I didn’t have an order), I finally had the opportunity to use them for our company T-​shirts. The shirt quality they recommended was perfect. The shirts turned out really well and we wear them with pride. They did a fantastic job and I am very happy. I look forward to my next project and recommend them every chance I can.

Over the past 5 years I have ordered over 1000 shirts from Nate and June. They are great to deal with and the shirts ate high quality at a great price. The turnaround is always faster than quoted and always boxed per my special requests.

We have been working with Art Factory for a couple months and every project has delivered on time. We’ve never had any quality issues and their prints are top of the line. They are quick to respond with quotes and proofs and have always gone above and beyond for us. They have unique printing capabilities and they can take a very complicated design and make it look amazing on any shirt. We 100% trust Art Factory with our clients and love that we have suppliers like them to help us earn more business.

Just ordered some shirts through Nate and Art Factory. The shirts came out great, they were ready before they said they would be, and the rates were reasonable as far as I know. Their new location is by Fulton and Damen (as of April 2012), so don’t go to the Belmont location anymore!

My team was so impressed with Art Factory. We had a very complex order of fan t-​shirts, and they handled everything so professionally. We wanted to go out on a limb and have the designs be manufactured with a gold foil, and it came out great! They had an ENORMOUS selection of shirt and sizing choices, something that many other screen printing services can’t boast. This particular gold foiling service was a great price as well, and the shirts are a hit. I highly reccommend this company! You WILL get your money’s worth!

These guys can’t print straight. Argumentative when it comes to owning up to mistakes. I would look elsewhere.

In a world of cranky screen printers and companies only too happy to tell you why your design won’t look the way you want it to – Art Factory is the blissfully bona-​fide real deal.
Their customer service is exemplary. Nate, who would be doing the screen printing, reviewed my design carefully, telling me exactly how he would break it down, giving me various pricing options. June walked me through their [extensive] shirt choices, laying out quality vs. cost concerns.
At every point of our interactions I felt involved and well informed. And when I picked up my shirts, they looked even better than I had imagined.
50 shirts, 6 color design: $ 700. Roughly $ 13 a shirt [and I picked a pricey shirt].
I’ve found my new go-​to screen printing service!

This company is the REAL DEAL, they are fantastic! The owners are completely hands-​on and they are always paying attention to details. We are repeat customers, with VERY specific needs, and Art Factory spends so much time making us happy. A relatively new company in Chicago, they have made a strong impact in their market, and have won major accounts locally and abroad. Besides good business practices and customer service, they are huge supporters of small businesses, so their relationships in the market are positive and their pricing is SO competitive! The owners are very involved in local art, music, and culture scene, so their creativity is in-​touch and refreshing. Don’t expect any pretentiousness or BS, these cats are VERY cool. I think this is my best kept secret, but sure to change!
