Maine's Eco-Friendly Screen Printing Experts
Liberty Graphics was founded in the 1970s by Tom Opper and Beverly Kocenko as a small screen-printing operation in Liberty, Maine. Our commitment to environmental sustainability has driven our use of water-based inks and hand-separated artwork since our inception. We expanded from a single trailer to four retail locations across Maine, offering high-quality printed garments featuring nature-inspired designs and Charley Harper artwork. In 2021, we transitioned to a worker-owned cooperative while maintaining our original standards of ethical manufacturing and customer satisfaction. Our expertise spans over five decades of perfecting eco-conscious printing techniques that produce vibrant, detailed results.We operate retail stores in Liberty, Camden, Freeport, and Portland, each showcasing Maine-made products printed with environmentally responsible methods. Our team continues to prioritize community values and sustainable practices established by our founders. We guarantee customer satisfaction through consistent quality control and personalized service across all our operations. Our stores offer a diverse selection of organic cotton apparel for men, women, and children printed with non-toxic water-based inks. As an employee-owned cooperative, we maintain direct oversight of production processes while expanding our reach through online sales and wholesale distribution.
