Celebrating Over 45 Years of Quality, Creativity & Customer Service
As a family and veteran-owned business, we bring custom apparel to life with precision, passion, and purpose.
In business since 1980; starting as Sports Graphics Services and rebranding as SGS Designs in 1996, we've helped schools, businesses, race teams, community organizations, family reunions, and neighbors make their message wearable through high-quality screen printing, embroidery, dye-sublimation, direct-to-film, and patchwork services.
What sets us apart?
We're not just printers, we're family & partners. Every garment is an opportunity to tell a story, unite a team, or elevate a brand. With decades of experience, we're here to ensure every thread, print, and detail reflects the heart of your vision.
What drives us?
It's more than just printing. It's the trust we build, the teamwork we rely on, and the follow-through we promise. We care deeply about creativity, quality, and customer service; and we back that with transparency, communication, and integrity. Every decision we make, from design to delivery is fueled by facts, passion, and a commitment to doing better every day.
