Chesapeake Screen Printing

At Chesapeake Screen Printing, we have been creating wearable identity since 1979. From custom screen printing, to embroidery and ad specialties, we've been dedicated to providing high-quality printed and embroidered apparel, as well as ad specialty items, to businesses, organizations, schools, and more in Salisbury on Maryland's Eastern Shore and beyond.

Our story began in 1975 when Dave Rossi, a business student at Salisbury State College, was offered a barn for a workshop. With the help of Paul Culver, a professional machinist and craftsman, Rossi hand-crafted most of the equipment he used in his textile printing business. Initially, he named his business Graphi-Tee, but later changed it to Chesapeake Screen Printing, Inc.

By 1982, Dave and his wife, Vonda Rossi, a graduate of Salisbury State College, were working full time at Chesapeake Screen Printing, Inc. The Rossi's printed every shirt manually, turning out three to four dozen multicolor shirts per hour. Eventually, they invested in an automatic press, affectionately also known as "the big wheel." The automated system can produce anywhere from 300 to 400 shirts an hour while maintaining incredible accuracy in detailed artwork.

Today, we continue to provide quality printed and embroidered apparel, as well as ad specialty items, to our valued customers. Whether it's your business, event, restaurant, or cause, we can't wait to help you raise brand awareness. Chances are we're already fans.

Our Services

We offer a wide range of services to meet your promotional needs. From screen printing and embroidery to ad specialties, we have you covered.

Screen Printing

Custom imprinted apparel is unlike other forms of advertising that may be seen once or twice. Apparel imprinted with a business or group name showcases identity wherever it is worn. Transforming your artwork into a unique, screen-printable design is our specialty. We use a direct screen print process with inks designed for specific items printed, such as t-shirts, nylon jackets, or canvas products. We print the finest detail from one to twelve spot colors. We also provide four-color process printing. Ask us how to customize your order.

Embroidery

Embroidering your company's or group logo on apparel can be a great way to build brand awareness and exposure. Your custom logo can be digitized and embroidered, or you can choose from stock designs from our resource links to combine with your lettering for a professional product.

Ad Specialty

From car stickers to drinkware, pens, and more, there are few limitations on ad specialty items. And when it comes down to it, we all love freebies. Providing thoughtful and useful promotional products that will be used again is a great way to promote brands and causes now and in the future. We love ad specialties for customer and employee appreciation, event registration incentives, and so much more. Ask us for suggestions!
