What Superior Silk Screen Inc does

Superior Silk Screen Inc is a privately held custom and stock t-shirt printing company founded in 1979 and headquartered at 1030 South 18th Street in Bismarck, North Dakota. The company produces printed apparel using screen printing technology applied to 100% cotton Gildan blank t-shirts, offering a catalog of 663 stock slogan designs organized across 25+ categories (Age, Family, Political, Religious, Sports, Holidays, etc.), plus a custom design tool that allows buyers to configure font color (14 options) and garment color (11 options). Standard unit pricing is $16.95 tax-included, with incremental upcharges for sizes XXL through 5XL.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model combining an owned e-commerce storefront and a single physical retail location in Bismarck, supplemented by Facebook, Twitter, and television advertising. Customer segments are split between individual consumers purchasing humorous or personalized shirts and small organizations (churches, clubs, community groups) using the custom and sub-brand storefront service. Five organization-branded storefronts (Lone Mountain, Inspire Family Fellowship, Strolling Strings, Trinity Lutheran Church coming soon, and Furry Friends) extend the platform into niche vertical merchandise.

No public revenue, headcount, or ownership disclosures are available. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no management team listed, no patents, no certifications, and no enterprise customers. Operating status is confirmed active via the maintained e-commerce site. The overall profile is consistent with a long-running, sub-scale, privately operated retail and e-commerce printing business serving a primarily North Dakota and US-direct customer base.
