Company Overview

Extreme Screen Prints® is a full-service custom merch company based in Grandville, Michigan, specializing in advanced screen printing and embroidery. We produce custom merch, uniforms, retail-ready brand apparel, promotional products, and corporate gifts for businesses, brands, franchises, schools, organizations, and other print shops across the United States.

Beyond decoration, we help with the rest of a merch program through one team and one point of contact: planning and design, product sourcing, retail-ready finishing, company stores and franchise portals, warehousing, fulfillment, and nationwide shipping. Cut and sew manufacturing and some promotional products are sourced through manufacturing and supplier partners. Customers can come to us for a single run of tees or for an ongoing program they don’t want to manage across multiple vendors.

Everything we print is printed in-house by our own press operators. We run four automatic ROQ® screen printing presses, use direct-to-screen technology, and keep more than 300 Pantone® colors pre-mixed, with custom color matching available for anything else.

We work with clients as a production partner: guiding garment, ink, and decoration decisions based on real testing and years of hands-on production experience, then making sure the finished order turns out right and arrives on time. Our goal is merch people actually want to wear.

Positioning Statement

Extreme Screen Prints® is a specialty screen printing and embroidery shop for people who care how their merch looks and feels. We are screen printers first. Our strengths are print quality, specialty techniques like hybrid, simulated process, water-based, discharge, and oversized printing, and attentive in-house customer service backed by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Around that core, we offer what a brand needs to plan, produce, store, sell, and ship its merch, with one point of contact.

Our Story

Extreme Screen Prints® started in 2007 as Grafixtek, founded by two friends: Dan Lund, an electrician, and Brett Wilson, a painter. They began printing, mostly by hand, in Dan’s heated two-stall garage. Everything the company knows was learned through hands-on experience, trial, and error, and that approach still shapes how we work.
