The Anthem Story

It began as most stories do -- in a garage. David was printing shirts for his punk band on a single color press and quickly realized San Francisco needed a more reliable source for screen printing supplies. Passion, motivation, and drive led to Anthem's official formation in September 2009.

In April 2010, we found our first real home at 14th and Folsom. It was here we broke down the walls of the world of screen printing by offering Pre-Burned Screens to the public.

By 2012, the people caught on, and we were swamped! Our tiny store was filled to the brim, so we packed some boxes and moved into a much larger retail space in the Outer Richmond.

Fast forward to 2015, and we were again in need of something bigger. This led us to our warehouse in the neighboring city of South San Francisco. Its wide open spaces and sky-high ceilings allowed us to improve efficiency and keep up with increasing demand.

April of 2024 led us to a cross-country move. We made the tough decision to say goodbye to SF and relocated to Wheeling, IL. Run by the same husband and wife team, we can get more supplies to more customers faster!

We were kids when we got this going now, 15 years later and 15 years wiser, this train carries on as it always has. Wherever you are in your print journey, we're always here to help, so let's make it happen!

Better Products. Better Service. No BS.
