We live locally and often see melon ink for our kids printed shirt supplier. When it was time to print something custom for my husbands birthday I thought of melon ink right away. They were very attentive and accommodating. Our custom visor order was fantastic!

I had the pleasure of working with a very patient Brian S. to complete a large embroidery order for my new company. Time was of the essence and he was able to inform me on what turned out to be an accurate timeline for my project. He listened carefully to my requests and offered suggestions on ways to save a little cash. The final products came out perfect. I will be placing another order soon.

These guys were great to work with. I had looked around online for a place to order shirts for my new business. After weeks of waiting, calling and emailing (the company took my money and never delivered any product) I finally came to Melon Ink. I came in on a Friday shortly before closing. The gentleman who helped me (Brian) went above and beyond. Not only did he get me exactly what I wanted, it was 40% less than what the online company was trying to charge me, and he even improved my design. Highly recommend. Shop local and support these guys, you wont regret it.
