Ant Tees / Rael T’s

Rael T’s was incredible. Not only the best deal in town but fantastic quality. We printed our company tshirts as well as sweaters. About a month later I needed an additional large shirt and we had run out so I printed from one of the online printers since I just needed one. After just a few washings the quality looks so so so much better from the shirts I got from Rael. I will upload a photo so you can see for yourself.

Rael T’s was the only screen company in the East Bay willing to take on my complex project, starting a t-​shirt business from Cali to Kauai. My goal is to have my artist, aka husband, retire from construction. Rael brought me back to reality. He told me not to quit our day jobs. Haha. He also convinced me not to make 200 shirts but only 50. My plan is to take the shirts to Kauai for a festival. I ended up making 125. He is very conscientious and is extremely knowledgeable on making t-​shirts. He taught me a lot about starting a business such as getting my seller permits and making shirts. I took my crash course «101 Rael T’s Screen Printing» home and pulled out screen tees and explained the differences to my husband. He was very impressed. Rael took the time to explain the different types of printing and the cost of them. He went beyond his duty as a t-​shirt maker to help my husband with the designs and how to set them up for printing. Rael invested A LOT of his time with us. He was very concerned about us spending a lot of money and having t-​shirts to hand out for Christmas the next 10 years. LOL. He definitely has a great sense of humor. We are so happy to have found Rael. Customer Service is exceptional. It is always great to work with the person who is the one doing the job. He does the work himself or is closely watching someone elset. For being a small operation, he had our shirts ready for pick-​up in advance! We are SOOOO happy with the results. We ended up using American Apparel Tees mainly because we want to support the American Economy. Keep the money in America! I already want to make more shirts but Rael told me to sell the ones I have before placing another order! LOL. He is a great guy! We love him! Thank you very much for being so patience with us! I am going to come back and order more shirts. I am also working on a website page. Will make sure I mentioned Rael T’s on my website!!! He is the best! Also, he is located very close to my work. Perfect location! You won’t regret using Rael T’s!

Just printed our new company shirts from Rael and his team, and LOVE them! He spent so much time and care in answering my myriad of questions– since this was my first time ordering– and never lost his patience. Thank you, Rael! Have been wearing mine around town and getting a lot of complements. We’ll certainly be back for more shirts in the future.

We highly recommend you consider this group for your t-​shirt and other marketing apparel needs. We’ve used them several times for our band —
and they’ve always come through — even when we ring them at the last possible minute for a rush job they never give attitude and always come through on time.
Rael has a distinct eye for colors and knows his stuff when it comes to the preparation of art files and selection of colors and materials. He’s helped us make sure our designs look as professional as possible!

We have been printing with Rael for years! Local, personalized service with great rates! His turn time is excellent and has always met our deadlines (even when I messed up and sent the order in late — ek!) Thanks Rael!

Rael is an awesome guy who runs a fantastic screenprint shop (AntTees). We’ve worked together for 5+ years and I’ve always been more than happy with the quality of his work, his customer service, and the way he partners with us to make our designs even better. If you’re looking to brand some swag, run a limited edition of screenprint art, or create stellar T-​shirts, then Rael is your guy.
The shop is located in West Oakland and parking is easy, which makes dropping in for a proof or to pick up small local orders really easy. Ant Tees will also gladly ship your order to where you need it if you can’t pick it up, are buying big or for non-​local locations.

I’ve been working extensively with Rael for over 3 years now for my small business: by now he’s printed thousands of shirts for me. He does a good, solid job and has great prices. Quick turnaround time too.

My company uses Rael T’s to print our tshirts, and we absolutely love the service. The print quality is always great, and Rael is an awesome guy to deal with. He’s fast, friendly and super honest — he’ll always notice if a shirt has a hole and deduct the cost, or if the print didn’t turn out quite right, he’ll replace them free of charge. His prices are also really great. I can’t recommend Rael T’s enough!

Rael did a great job — easy to communicate with, responsive, clearly very experienced! He priced our shirts really well, we paid about $ 7 each and were able to re-​sell them for $ 20. The quality was great, our design looked perfect, and the turnaround time was awesome too. Yay!

Rael and JoJo did a peculiar glass engraving project for me years ago that turned out well beyond swell. They have also done a number of printing jobs for special events my office has hosted.
Shirts were right the first time and occasionally even ahead of schedule!
They have now added a line of other printed promotional materials to their repertoire.
I love Oakland Small Businesses! Shop Local and Thrive!

I’m so impressed! Rael made my first experience ordering political t shirts in quantity a non-​stressful, rewarding experience. And the shirts look great!

I just got this year’s batch of tee-​shirts and they are fantastic. Great service, they even helped me load my truck!

Rael’s a baddass. He’s not only at the top of his game in terms of the craft of screen-​printing and computer graphics, but he’s also incredibly thoughtful and conscientious about what you as a an artist are hoping to achieve. In short, he cares. (And not just about you being happy, but also about your artwork being as good as it can be – his efforts and expertise have been essential to the overall look of my line.) During the time that I’ve been working with Rael he’s consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty — so much so, that I know I’m completely spoiled and that at this point, I honestly can’t imagine working with anyone else. –Adam (The Girl and Rhino)
