Spider Web Promotions

What Spider Web Promotions does

Spider Web Promotions is a small, privately held custom apparel and promotional products company founded in 1976 and most recently headquartered in Westminster, Maryland, with operational roots in the Baltimore metro area. Its service offering spans screen printing, embroidered apparel, signage, commercial printing, and promotional products, serving customers across the Mid-Atlantic and East Coast regions of the United States. The company operated with an 11-50 employee headcount range and relied on a local production model centered on its Baltimore-area facility, with shipping reach extending to cities such as New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC.

In 2025, Spider Web Promotions was acquired by Captain Jerry's Custom T-Shirts, a third-generation family-owned Baltimore screen printing business founded by Gerald Millman in 1976 and currently led by the Millman family. Following the acquisition, Spider Web Promotions ceased operating as an independent entity; its customers are now directed to Captain Jerry's via the 410-876-8117 phone line and the captjerrys.com website. The business model is operations-driven: revenue is generated per order through customized apparel decoration (screen printing and embroidery) and promotional product sales, with tiered quantity-based pricing (24-35 units up to 500+) and services such as PMS color matching, 24-72 hour rush turnaround, and UPS/FedEx shipping across the USA. No public pricing, SaaS, subscription, or platform revenue mechanics are disclosed, and no AI, digital product, or software components are referenced in the source material.
