Propaganda

These guys are great! My office has ordered loads of custom t-​shirts from them to give away to our patients. Everyone loves the quality, including our employees who wear to work every Thursday! We recently participated in a huge charity event and needed a boatload of t-​shirts printed in a pinch to give away at that event we sponsored and they really went above and beyond. They not only printed the entire order in 2 days, but also folded and delivered them to the venue where the event was taking place. Thank you Patty and your entire team for providing excellent customer service. We truly appreciate it.

I basically had to beg for someone to even call me back and after I was told I’d be given quotes and more information on ordering a large amount of shirts I was never called back… ever. I shouldn’t have to beg to give someone business. Makes no sense to me.

Both Patty and Michael have been very helpful and courteous. I just placed my forth order from them for our band Sabertooth’s t-​shirts. Their prices are reasonable, they take time to get the art as you wish, and their turnover is good. The gold lettering on the last batch didn’t come out quite as we hoped, but they did warn us about that. We are going back to white lettering. We like this place and are fortunate they are in our hood.

I can’t believe I’ve never reviewed them. My business has been using them to print our tshirts for 18 years. They are honest and fair. Their work is impeccable.

Patty and Mike are fantastic to deal with. Gave them multiple orders. Always on time and looking great.

We had a family reunion coming up and had a logo designed for it. From a referral, I went to Propaganda. They did a great job. The storefront is dumpy and the sales process is sort of rough. But they did a great job and had the shirts available when they said they would. And the prices were decent.

The Lincoln Ave store apparently had a truck go through the window and they now say they have they consolidated to the Milwaukee Ave store. My very unpleasant experience started at the Lincoln Ave store but I’m posting the review here since this is most likely where people will go if they are considering being subjected to the really terrible customer service I’ve received.
I contacted Propaganda to work on a school fundraiser project. The school recommended them so I felt compelled to stick with them. I won’t make that mistake ever again. Their customer service from day 1 has been slow and they are terribly over priced compared to other businesses. They have hidden costs, will not match prices even remotely and their quotes seem to aim to hide the hidden costs. To get a color printed that would actually come close to the artwork we submitted they tried to throw on a $ 20 fee, For $ 80 (which was $ 80 more than I was going to be charged elsewhere) I would expect the sample item to actually look like the art work we submitted and they said they could deliver. Instead I was told that my color cost $ 20 more and they can’t be liable if the color comes out wrong on the final order. The worst part is that this project is for a school fundraiser and the $ 20 is going to come straight out of the school’s pocket. This is in addition to the bags being small, low quality and over-​priced. My experience has not been one that I would wish on anyone.
Thanks for reading.

I was looking to recreate a shirt my great uncle had in the ‘60s. Cheesy but simple type/​graphic on a light blue tee.
Walking down Milwaukee one day, I noticed Propaganda Tees so decided to check them out. After describing what I wanted (I had a photo of the shirt), the guy at the desk (didn’t catch his name, but he was really cool) told me to create the image in illustrator & bring in the file. I suppose if you’re in the situation I was & didn’t have the software it would be difficult, but I had no problems with that.
I brought in the file and a week later I have a freakin’ awesome, custom t-​shirt (wearing it right now) for only $ 38. It would’ve only been about $ 23, but I opted for an American Apparel shirt and longer-​lasting vinyl for the type. I believe the guy said it would only be $ 20 if I’d’ve provided my own shirt, but I’m not sure. And I may have been able to get it faster, but I was in no rush.
Anyway, to put it in perspective, it costs about as much as something relatively quirky you’d find at Urban Outfitters, but now I’ve got a cool shirt no one else has.

This seems like a great place to do some silk screening, but the prices seem pretty crazy. I suspect you have to know someone to get reasonable deals. Some cool shirts on sale though.
