CUSTOM SCREEN PRINTING & APPAREL
General Printing Service
General Printing Service is a full-service screen printing shop based in downtown San Francisco. We are proudly not a mass-production factory. Every project starts with a one-on-one consultation—guiding you through garments, art prep, and production details from start to finish. We specialize in design-driven print projects, whether you're building a brand, gearing up a crew, or printing for an upcoming event. We believe high-quality custom apparel should always have a human touch.
