The Ann Arbor T-shirt Company, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan (approximately 40 miles west of Detroit), is composed of dozens of talented artists, screen printers, art technicians, logistics professionals, embroiderers, and support staff. We take great pride in the products we create and are eager to share them with you.
Our employees are provided with subsidized healthcare, a 401k match, company sports teams, catered lunches, and quarterly celebrations. We believe in treating our team with respect, as we understand that happy people produce better shirts - from the artwork design to the high-quality printing and meticulous quality control.
When you purchase one of our shirts, your money supports a diverse range of businesses across the United States. Approximately 35% stays in Ann Arbor for design, printing, and production, 22% goes to Seattle for advertising and platform fees, 6% to Cincinnati for apparel distribution, 4% to Atlanta for shipping and logistics, 4% to Roselle, Illinois for printing presses and equipment, 4% to Texas and the Southwest for cotton farming, 3% to Toluca, Mexico for fabric sewing, and 1% to Pineville, North Carolina for screen printing inks.
Screen printing is a delicate craft, and we take great care to ensure the process is done right. We have internal apprentice and educational programs to train skilled professionals with a deep understanding of ink chemistry, curing temperatures, and apparel fibers. Getting these elements wrong can result in subpar prints, faded inks, or scratchy fabric.
To maintain the highest quality, we invest in top-of-the-line inks and equipment. Our QCM inks are more environmentally friendly, vibrant, and long-lasting than cheaper alternatives. Our screen printing presses and support equipment are engineered and manufactured by M&R in Roselle, Illinois, allowing our printers to work efficiently and minimize waste.
Our story begins with a dorm room project between two friends at the University of Michigan. Today, we proudly design, print, and embroider the majority of our products in our Ann Arbor factory. What makes our products unique is the fair treatment of our workers, the use of U.S.-sourced materials and cotton, and our in-house production, which allows us to maintain high quality and keep prices low.
We love giving people fun and expressive ways to connect with their community and start conversations. Whether you're in Ann Arbor or elsewhere, we invite you to stop by, have a coffee, and let us show you how we create our products with passion and pride.
