The Story of Us

Fresh Brand Gear started the way many great things do — in a garage. Sitting on the stoop between our houses with a few beverages, we realized we had ideas to make the branded apparel industry better.

What began as small orders for friends and family quickly grew into something bigger. With help from our friends at Stickfix, we moved into our first commercial space. Today, we operate a full shop offering in-house screen printing, digital transfers, direct-to-garment, and embroidery — supported by a dedicated team of 4 full-time and 5 part-time employees.

We always look back to the stoop as a reminder: deliver the best service and quality, every single time.

Our Beginning

We started with an idea — right where many great small businesses begin: a garage.

Movin’ on Up

Cliff from Stickfix gave us space in the back of his shop and said, “You’ll outgrow this place fast.” He was right — legend status earned.

Who Needs More Space? We Do.

As demand grew, so did our need for in-house processes. With help from Steve at Texture Craft, we leveled up with more equipment and more room to grow.

Our First Embroidery Machine

We bought our first embroidery machine… then another… and another. Today, we operate four.

Auto… Who Needs an Auto?

We invested in an automatic screen-printing press to increase speed, efficiency, and turnaround time.

Laser Etching In-House

We expanded again — adding laser etching to bring more custom-on-demand options, from mugs to tees.
