Ann Arbor T-shirt Co. Rosie The Bowler | Funny Bowling Ball Team Uniform V-Neck T-Shirt for Women

The Ann Arbor T-shirt Company, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, about 40 miles west of Detroit, is composed of dozens of artists, screen printers, art technicians, logistics professionals, embroiderers, and support staff. We take great pride in treating our employees with respect, offering benefits such as subsidized healthcare, 401(k) matching, company sports teams, catered lunches, and quarterly company parties. We believe that keeping our people happy and engaged results in better shirts - from cooler artwork to higher-quality printing and more exacting quality control.

Our screen printing process starts with our talented illustrators and designers creating the artwork, which is then converted into component screens by our art technicians. Skilled screen printers and their apprentices then apply the ink through these screens using top-of-the-line M&R carousel presses manufactured in Illinois.

The materials that go into our shirts are carefully selected. The fabric is a soft, silky smooth, lightweight tri-blend of 50% polyester, 25% rayon, and 25% cotton, which gives it a vintage, retro heathered look and an elegant, soft touch. The shirt is pre-shrunk and will not shrink significantly in the wash.

For the printing, we use high-quality QCM screen printing inks, manufactured in Pineville, North Carolina. These inks are vibrant, durable, and highly crack-resistant. QCM has been a leader in the industry, going phthalate-free over ten years ago, and their inks are rated as carcinogen-free by the state of California.

While screen printing may not be rocket science, it's easy to get wrong if you cut corners or use subpar materials. That's why we invest in hiring, training, and retaining skilled professionals, and why we use the best equipment and inks available.

When you purchase one of our shirts, your money is supporting a diverse range of businesses and industries across the country: - 35% goes to the design, printing, and production in Ann Arbor, Michigan - 22% goes to advertising and platform fees in Seattle, Washington - 6% goes to the apparel distributor in Cincinnati, Ohio - 4% goes to shipping and logistics in Atlanta, Georgia - 4% goes to the printing presses and equipment made in Roselle, Illinois - 4% goes to cotton farming in Texas and the Southwest US - 3% goes to fabric sewing in Toluca, Mexico - 1% goes to the screen printing inks made in Pineville, North Carolina

So whether you're in Ann Arbor or elsewhere, we invite you to stop by for a free tour and see how we make your apparel with pride, passion, and attention to detail. After all, "Bowling: Cheaper than Therapy, and they Serve Beer" is not just a clever screen print - it's a reflection of our commitment to quality, community, and a little bit of fun.
