Rise Above Graphics Screen Printing

Rise Above did a great job with our order (Oakland Bike Polo).
The shirts were finished in a timely manner and the print quality is damn good. Communication and response times were pretty good, with email seeming to be the preferred method of contact (or visit their storefront during business hours). Pricing was reasonable and I would not hesitate to use them again or to recommend them to a friend. Our club is stoked — Thanks! :)

Rise Above is fantastic, and everything I love to support: independent, local, creative, small business, hands-​on, service-​oriented, flexible, woman owned. That said, I wouldn’t be a repeat customer unless they were also HIGHEST QUALITY and EFFICIENT.
Gabriela was helpful and patient with me through the whole design process, and our team loves our shirts.
Get thee to Rise Above for any of your screen printing needs

Good service and very quick turn around. It was a very simple process.

I’ve gotten several shirt runs printed at Rise Above. I love how they came out and Gabriela was super fun to work with. Great turnaround time too.

I had a short run, last minute (about 1 week) t shirt job that needed for my upcoming performance. Gabriela was fantastic! She was very quick and professional! She did exactly what I expected and her work was top quality. I’m referring some other friends to her as well. I loved working with her AND she’s local. A true artist that supports the arts and has a great business sense.

Rise Above is fantastic! Gabriela and her team have made beautiful screen printed t-​shirts and tanks for my cycling studio, RIDE Oakland. Gabriela was very helpful in narrowing down a color with us and the shirts turned out great. The service is excellent with the turn around time very quick. I highly recommend this shop!

This little shop did an awesome job for a small run on my t-​shirts and totebags. The pricing was very fair for such a small order. I was able to come in and: 1) look at t-​shirt swatches so I could accurately see the colors of the shirts; 2) take a look at ink colors; 3) go to a press check to make sure the graphics were positioned correctly.
I love knowing that I’ve supported a small business in the Bay Area and not only that, that they actually do a great job. Turnaround time was 5 days from the press check which was insanely fast (would probably be longer for larger orders, obviously). Moreover, Gabriela responded to all of my panicky emails for an entire week (I was very paranoid about handing this job off to a shop I only knew of from Unilocal reviews), answering my questions late into the night and over the weekend. I hope I have another excuse to bring more work to them soon!

I needed T-​shirts to advertise my business and I asked a couple of people who were in the nail salon with me, and incredibly they both recommended the same place. One was unsure about the name but they both knew the location. I went to Rise Above as soon as I left the nail salon and I was greeted by the comforting spirit of the owner, the very proficient Gabriela Laz. She was able to look at my website and make wonderful suggestions as to what I was trying to explain to her I wanted. The end result was beautiful t-​shirts in different sizes that everyone wants. I am quite pleased with my experience at Rise Above and with Gabriela and I would highly recommend her for your silk screening projects.

This shop really knows how to get things done. I ordered two dozen shirts with multiple screens and color and the knocked them out in less than a week! That wasn’t even the best part though. The design on the shirts came out perfect! We sold our shirts soooo fast because of the amazing quality!
After I ran out of shirts to sell I asked Rise Above if they still had the screens from the last batch if they could make me more? They got back to me very quick and I put in another order. 1 week later same results of perfect shirts and speedy delivery. Thanks Rise Above for making my band shirts beautiful!!!

Personal connection, excellent communication, follow up questions, clear guide lines, delivered on time.
If you want more than this you’re being greedy and should get professional help. Actually you could just get it from Rise Above. That’s how good they are.

I have spent the better part of my week looking for someone to take my cash money in exchange for some 2 color printed on shirts. I went to 5 store fronts and made countless calls. Rise above answered the phone every time I called. Rise above quoted me a price that was cheaper by double digits than all the competitors I was able to reach. Rise above was at the store when they were supposed to be. Rise above did not want me to fill my house with shirts to meet the minimum order. My shirts were done beautifully and by some miracle Gabriela was able to answer my plea for help and get them done on a ridiculous schedule.
I’m now a fan of rise above. So are the fans of my band. The shirts sold out.

Creative, great quality, and good prices. Rise Above really does. I love the shirts they make, and I love supporting such a cool local business.

Gabriala rocks. Her service is great and her prices can’t be beat. She has a broad selection of Organic cotton and great looking shirts and her turn around is really speedy. I was very impressed and our shirts were outstanding! We’ll definitely be using Rise Above again int he future.

Gabriela at Rise Above did a GREAT job hand printing our tour logo on a variety of sizes and fabrics. Plus she was gracious and timely… a real benefit and a pleasure!

Amazing quality, amazing attitude, and single mom owned! Single mom power! Our shirts turned out amazing, we got these done last September and the print still looks fabulous.
Very Impressed…

After reading some very good reviews about «Rise Above Graphics» and seeing the samples of other work, I decided to give them a try for t-​shirts that I wanted for a reunion BBQ. Gabriela was very helpful in describing the different colors that she had available and how the graphics would appear after printing. The prices for the t-​shirts were very reasonable.
My only comment (and this is a very minor thing since I was limited in budget) was that I would have liked to scale my design for the different sizes of t-​shirt we printed on — that would have been another set-​up fee. But, if there was some way we could have used a large graphic and crop it for smaller shirts, that would earn another star.
Overall, very good experience for me and I would definitely go back for other screen printing needs.

Gaby did a great job of silk screening some art ideas of mine onto T-​shirts. I’ll go back for future silk screen needs.

Rise Above has created t-​shirts numerous times for KSCU 103.3 FM in Santa Clara. The designs are always great and the service exceptional. Highly recommended.

Our business was in the situation of not wanting to look like every other professional in our work space. We needed to distinguish ourselves from the nurses we worked with and be easily identifiable to the midwives and doctors at the hospitals. Gabriela’s logo design and fantastic work-​womanship allowed us to not only set ourselves apart from the crowd but also helped us get great referrals from the hospital staff as they remembered our business name and constantly commented on our shirts.
Rise Above Screen Printing did a great job on our T-​shirts and we felt so good about supporting a local businesswoman making quality goods for a very reasonable rate. We could not have been happier with the work and with Gabriela’s professionalism. We loved the options of sweatshop free T-​shirts and materials to use which made us much happier when we got down to work in our new gear. Thank you Rise Above for such great work and for helping our business grow.

I found Rise Above via the internet and took a chance with them for my screen printing project. It payed off in a major way, especially considering they were printing on an unconventional fabric!
Sure there’s a ton of local screen printers in my area, but the folks at Rise Above go above and beyond to make sure you get what you need.
Also, for those of us who are trying to be as eco-​conscious as possible, Rise Above had a few green options for my project, which was a huge plus.
