Art-Flo
Shirt & Lettering Company is a family owned and operated business,
which was started
back in 1958 as a subsidiary of the Floc-Flo Corporation. Floc-Flo was
an original pioneer in the
silk-screen printing industry as they were one of the first companies
to manufacture and
distribute screen-printing equipment.
In the early 60's Art-Flo was a nationwide distributor of bowling shirts
while local business
included team and work uniforms. In the 70's the printed T-shirt was the
item. What was once
underwear had been transformed into a fashion statement. Once thought
to be just a fad,
T-shirts much like blue jeans, remain an important part of American culture
today.
In the 80's we were one of the first companies to have in-house computerized
embroidery
capabilities and embroidery became the preferred application on polo's
hats sweats and
jackets. These types of products are known as active apparel and were
designed with comfort
in mind, to fit the lifestyle of the average person "on the go"!
In 1984 we became a license of
Major League Baseball and have printed for the Chicago Cubs, White Sox,
Bulls, Blackhawks,
and Wolves.
We are also a part of the "dressed down look" of corporate America
supplying denim and twill
shirts, sweaters, windshirts, etc. that appeal to the corporate casual
market.
Now as we have entered a new millennium, we find ourselves providing many
of the same
products along with a whole new line of ladies apparel to many of the
same customers.
The celebration of our 45th anniversary is a testimony to our ability
to provide our customers
with quality products, competitive prices and dependable service.
Today we are fortunate to count many prestigious organizations and businesses
as part of our
customer base and that list includes the Cubs & Sox, Chicago Park
District, Shedd Aquarium,
WGN T.V. JUST TO NAME A FEW.
