About Us
We’re Black Dog Prints
Family-Owned. Quality-Driven. Proudly Based in Summerville, South Carolina.
At Black Dog Prints, we believe great printing starts with experience, attention to detail, and a commitment to doing things right.
Founded by Mark and Candi Butler in 2012, Black Dog Prints has grown from a passion for creating custom products into a full-service apparel decoration and printing business serving customers locally and nationwide.
Over the past 14 years, we’ve worked with nearly every major apparel decoration method, including cut vinyl, printed vinyl, sublimation, heat-press transfers, embroidery, and Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing. That experience has helped us evolve with the industry while staying true to what matters most: quality products, dependable service, and customers who know they can count on us.
Our Story
Black Dog Prints wasn’t built overnight. It was built through years of hands-on experience, learning new techniques, investing in better equipment, and continuously finding ways to improve.
What started as a hobby--starting with cut vinyl on Christmas ornaments-- to the operation has grown into a professional print shop in Summerville, South Carolina, equipped to handle everything from individual custom orders to large-scale production.
As a family-owned business, we understand the importance of building relationships, standing behind our work, and treating every order like it matters — because to us, it does.
