AKA

Our RUDE DOG 80’s Night needed that extra bit of promotion, so I took it to the next level by collaborating with the solid dudes at AKA to create promotional t-​shirts for the night. Not only was it mind-​easingly simple, but the rate & prices were great; quality was on point.
A return customer is what they now have in me. See them for your next level shirt ideas.
Looking forward to the new location, fellas!

The t-​shirts we ordered for our local bike shop look amazing. These guys are true artists and professionals. The shop is a great addition to the neighborhood. We will definitely be ordering from them in the future.

This is my neighborhood print shop. There are many print shops but this one is mine.
These boys slave away in a hot shop six days a week to bring shirts to the people. If you’re looking for an ethical, professional, and wildly handsome team to do shirts for you or your business, AKA is the place to go. Affordable and perfect prints 100% of the time. Javi and Jason not only serve the community but they are a big part of what makes it ours.
No orders under a dozen but they’ll offer good advice on where to take your small order.
They don’t work for sandwiches but if you bring one it’d be greatly appreciated.

Great quality t-​shirts, amazing staff and fast turn around! Thank you Jason!

I needed to get tank tops printed for my best friend’s bachelorette party. I reached out to a few business and AKA had the best pricing. Jason was great and sent me a quote in timely fashion. I went to the store to pay and my tank tops were ready in two days. Great service overall, at a great price.

This is a wonderful establishment! Javi and Jason are great at what they do, they pay close attention to what their clients really want and are very detail oriented, and extremely professional. I would highly suggest them to anyone I know who needs to utilize the many services they offer! I have used them before multiple times and also referred clients as well who were all more than extremely happy with their work as well!
Thanks again guys !

I’d say about a quarter of my tees and tanks wardrobe was forged from the press of AKA and affiliates. I’d seen Javi and Jason selling their stuff at events around North Park and would often make a purchase — not only because I liked the designs but also because of the quality materials they use. I’m always happy when an AKA shirt is at the top of my T-​shirt pile, because I know I am gonna be comfy all day. My favorites are my kitty shirts and my tanks during the summer time. I liked the shirts so much that eventually I asked Javi about making some T-​shirts for a company that I work with and he processed my order quickly and got me exactly what I wanted. I did a smaller run to be on the safe side, since I wasn’t sure how many people would want them, and am about to put in another order because the ones I brought in went so quick.
If I could think of any critique or constructive criticism, I would say that they really should print more Cat Flag shirts, because the one I got was white and I’m gonna be bummed when it get’s the inevitable stain — probably from a burrito. So far I’ve been really careful though cos it’s like my favorite shirt. So yeah, print more Cat Flag shirts but not too many and maybe on some tanks too cos summer is coming up.

Best quality in San Diego by far!
I have tried plenty of different artists, from iron-​on, screen printing to embroidery and these guys are top notch.
My new work shirts are now the only ones I choose to wear, and plan to get any future uniform work done from AKA. Thank you for making my shirts stand out!

I wanna start by saying thank you AKA especially Javi. They made some company t-​shirts for my business Dr Apple. They came out way better then we expected and for the quality of work the price was amazing. This company beat out my local Chula Vista stores and also got the shirts done one day early. Thanks again AKA and fellow Unilocalers give them a call for your company or personal prints.

Earlier this summer I decided to have done t-​shirts made for our group at the Del Mar Mud Run. Saw this place was close to my neighborhood and thought I’d give it a shot.
I went into the shop 2 days before the day of the run, and they assured me that they could rush the order for me and we’d be all set come race day.
They fulfilled their promise and I will definitely go back. Shirts held up thru the mud no problem, great quality. :)

Javi is truly a talented artist. He managed to carry out the specs of my order to a T. He will go out of his way in order to make your vision come out just the way you imagined it.
The quality of the finished product was great. I was actually surprised to receive a call from him the same day to hear that my order had already been completed. I’ve had to wait several jobs when going thru other places, and at times felt left in the dark.
My t-​shirt savior. Definitely coming here for all future orders.
And if you are working with an image or idea, and not quite sure, take whatever draft you have into the shop, and they will steer you in the direction and mold your idea into exactly what you want.

Jason did all our costumized tanks for my bachelorette party. He helped us come up with a really great design and they couldn’t have turned out better. All the girls loved them and we had a ton of fun wearing them around Vegas. His costumer service was fantastic and our order was ready even earlier than we anticipated. I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone and will definitely be using him again in the future!

I needed 20 custom shirts on short notice. Jason and Javi at AKA were able to come up with a great design, print multiple sizes, and have them delivered to me right on time. They turned out great and are really comfortable to wear. Thanks guys!

I’ve got two of their tees and have given others as gifts around the globe (well, Canada anyway. That counts, right?)
Best thing ever, though — i’m living in an über right wing religious town and my ‘kitty in a pentagram’ tank top once caused a woman to stop me on the street and talk to me about letting jesus into my life. I call that success.

These guise really know how to screen print the shit outta some shirts. And they look good doing it. Me-​Ow! That Javi fella is one fine piece of Latin man meat. Plus he’s a true professional, unburdened by sleeves (or distractions), who delivers a product on time and within the specified budget.
He even helped design a shirt for my friends bday that painted a beautiful portrait of the things that make my buddy a giant bag o’ dicks. 5 stars all around!
Pro-​tip: AKA will remove the sleeves of any shirt you request to accommodate these warm San Diego days. Bc sleeves are for pussies.

This outfit is tops in my book.
I recently attended an event that had shirts designed and screened by them. They were seriously rad! When I wore the shirt down the streets of Portland, people asked me where I got my shirt done.
If you want great work done by a talented crew, hit this place up!

I had a specialty order done for halloween, Javi made me and my dad coveralls with Vamenos Pests emblems. I dropped them off on a monday and boom they were done that weekend. I was actually surprised to see how much it took to make our costumes come to life, but the boys at AKA made it happen.
I’ll be back soon to pick up so Indusrty Bastards gear, all the cool kidds are.

These guise know their shit! Quality work by quality Dudes at a reasonable price. Delivery and art as promised. Not to mention AKA has the experience and know how to advise you on your project to get the most out of your $.
WHEN YOU GO– see my friend Javi. He’ll take your artwork and make it reality. Or he’ll help you make your idea come to life. Or he’ll take your dreams and make them come true.
Javi knows.

For me it’s all about communication, and customer service. I don’t have anything clever to say, I just know that being a very small business of one I was happy to find someone that would make me a small number of shirts and not charge me an outrageous amount of money. Jason responded quickly to my emails and didn’t make me feel uncomfortable when I asked a ton of questions. He communicated that the tank tops I originally wanted wouldn’t be available in time for my event and had a back up plan in place. I’m so excited about the shirts, they are soft and simple Just perfect. Thanks again AKA, I’m happy to give you my business. –Kim

A few years ago, I was in the back of the cool bus and this skinny little otter named Suavi rolled up to me.
With a sparkle of hypnotism in his eyes and a sly grin that he inherited from the devil; he told me
«you know… if our eyes never lock, none of this ever happened.»
And I believed him.
I am a sucker.
But…that meeting has benefited. That little coffee skinned otter is part of the talented AKA team.
They did my handkerchiefs for me and honestly, I was amazed that these bastards did a way better job than my other professional contacts.
Handkerchiefs aren’t an easy print.
The guys at AKA printed them perfectly.
Seriously.
They have my business from now on.
Shirts, knives, handkerchiefs, record covers. They got it.
My Chula connections weren’t happy with my decision until I showed them the work.
They said, «Yeah, go to them. That shit is tight as f*ck.»
