Who we are
Built on craft, community, and Santa Cruz.
We've been printing in Santa Cruz since the beginning — and the values that got us here are the same ones that drive every order we take.
Our mission
Santa Cruz Custom Screenprinting exists to help local businesses, teams, artists, and organizations bring their ideas to life on apparel and merchandise.
We believe great printing isn't just about ink on fabric — it's about understanding what a design means to the people wearing it, and doing it justice every single time.
What we stand for
Craftsmanship
Every order — whether it's 12 shirts or 1,200 — gets the same attention to detail. We take pride in clean registration, vibrant color, and prints that last.
Community
We're a Santa Cruz business through and through. We love supporting local teams, nonprofits, events, and artists who make this place what it is.
Honesty
No hidden fees, no runaround. We give you straight answers on pricing, timelines, and what's actually possible — so you can make the right call for your project.
Collaboration
Your vision drives the project. We're here to ask the right questions, offer our expertise, and make sure the final product is something you're genuinely proud of.
Quality over shortcuts
We don't cut corners on materials, screens, or process. If something isn't right, we make it right — that's a promise we've kept since day one.
Sustainability
We're mindful of our footprint. We work to minimize waste in our production process and are always looking for ways to do better for our community and environment.
Our story
Santa Cruz Custom Screenprinting has been part of the local fabric for years — literally. What started as a passion for printing has grown into a full-service shop serving everyone from surf brands and skate crews to schools, restaurants, and nonprofits.
We're also proud to be part of a family of brands. Impala Promotions handles custom promotional products, and Istyly Clothing Co. — our own surf and skate label — has been celebrating the Santa Cruz lifestyle since 1999.
Stop by our shop at 250 Potrero St Suite A anytime during business hours. We love meeting the people behind the projects.
