Artem started Logo Unlimited out of a desire to do corporate merchandising better. He wanted to take the industry beyond left-chest embroidery—and even beyond screen printing t-shirts. Today, they produce everything from custom apparel to promotional products like mugs, pens, and high-tech items like Bluetooth earbuds. In this interview, we’ll find out what kind of space and equipment it takes to give customers this variety (and what it cost Artem to get it all set up).
One thing that sets Logo Unlimited apart is the personal touch they give to their products. Everything is done in-house and driven by the needs of their customers, allowing them to offer both transparency and high quality. We’ll learn how this approach has helped Logo Unlimited grow and what systems Artem uses to ensure a consistently satisfying customer experience.
While all the printing is done in-house, the blank items Logo Unlimited customizes have to come from somewhere. We’ll find out how Artem picked his suppliers and hear his advice for securing reliable, high-quality suppliers as a screen printing business. He’ll also share strategies for the other side of the equation, like how he attracts both individual and corporate customers, and the best places to advertise to attract each.
A screen printing business can be a very profitable option for creative entrepreneurs, and this video is a great place to learn how to get started! You can find out more about Logo Unlimited online at logounltd.com/.

Gentlemen! Thank you very much for having me on your channel and letting me showcase my humble operation. Would love to have you back once we expand next year. Again, thank you for your time and professionalism, your channel is awesome and You guys rock!
-
Host: What did you start out with? Owner: "Just the will." This is more important than everything else. Starting a business takes grit, patience and perseverance. Congrats Artem!
-
This interview is the real deal. No BS. There is no short cut to success. Hats off for being so frank and open. May you reach that goal
-
the owner Artem is genuine. I mean he speaks his mind. TAKE RISK, simple right, but powerful..
-
We 'fell' into this industry some years ago, starting with a Bernina sewing machine with an embroidery kit. We're still a part time home business with word of mouth marketing only, but we now have 2 commercial single head embroidery machines, 2 vinyl cutters, heat press machines and a solvent print and cut machine. And like the gentle man being interviewed, not much spare time! Great interview.
-
I just started my printing business. I have a heat press and cutting plotter and canon printer. Watching this video has given me hope to grow my business. thank you so much.
-
I run a small print shop in Nairobi East Africa and this is such an inspiration. One day I wanna be where Logo Unltd is. Keep up the good work you show to us.

I started my screen printing company with a table top press and a propane bottle heater to dry the shirts. We used the sunlight to expose the screens. Today we are doing over a million dollars per year. I started with no money, no investors and no experience. I watched a ryonet video on how to screen print. Anyone can do this if you have basic skills. You must understand economics and business. If you don't you are wasting your time.
-
Not a single minute was waste. Very clear and full of information. Loved it.
-
This guy the best host, always ask’s the right questions.
-
This is a straight no bull interview.
-
One of the best ever interview. Thank you to both of you.
-
This is the most straight, no bull interview I've seen lately. Appreciate the honesty in almost every answer which other owners might not even tell you being the 'industry secret'. I Like the way he said, "if you suck, you're out.." 27:15 ")) But at the same time not every one will have 100k to buy the laser to start with, or 150k as an initial budget. All in all very informative. Thank you~👌
