OUR STORY
2008
“We started our own Screen Printing Company”
We couldn’t find the service or quality we wanted, so our entrepreneurial wheels went into motion. In 2008, We decided to bring our 2 main core values 1. To innovate the printing industry and 2. Deliver superior customer service, to the screen printing game and opened Culture Studio with an 8 color manual press. We printed for our own brand and then eventually opened up our services to other businesses in Chicago. It turns out we were not the only ones that had trouble getting quality T shirts made.
We realized that we were experiencing tremendous growth when we had to move to a larger location and add machinery. INC magazine released its Inc 5000 fastest growing companies in America ranking and we’ve made the list for the 3rd year in a row

Fast Forward a couple years…..and
Currently, Culture Studio is located in the heart of the Chicago Industrial Stock Yards and employs over 80 individuals. From printing one off T shirts and selling them out of our trunks to 50,000 square feet of the latest in apparel decorating technology. Today Culture Studio services leaders of the retail apparel industry including Tour merchandise, direct to retail, and promotional clientele. We have the privilege to work with some of the world's most legendary music influences like the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Pearl Jam, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder..Just to name a few.
We have also entered into the athletic sector printing for the likes of Adidas and Reebok. Ultimately we recognized a lack of innovation and customer service in garment decorating, so CS set out to revolutionize a classic industry.
