Where Ideas Become Wearable

At Nightmare Graphics, everything starts with an idea — yours. Since 1982, we’ve helped thousands of teams, organizations, businesses, and creators bring their vision to life through high-quality custom apparel and promotional products. What began as a small local print shop in Columbia, Maryland has grown into a full-service production powerhouse trusted across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond.

A Family Legacy, Built to Last

Nightmare Graphics is proudly a second-generation, family-owned business. Founded in 1982 by the father of our current owner, the company has evolved through decades of innovation without ever losing sight of the values it was built on: service, creativity, and craftsmanship.

Those values remain at the heart of everything we do. And because we’ve always believed great products begin with great artwork, we employ two full-time professional artists — a rare commitment in our industry and a key reason customers trust us with their brand, their identity, and their ideas.

Craftsmanship Done In-House — From Start to Finish

For more than forty years, we’ve invested in building one of the region’s most complete in-house production facilities. Screen printing, embroidery, dye sublimation, cut-and-sew apparel, and finishing work all happen under our Maryland roof — no outsourcing, no uncertainty, no compromises.

This all-in-one approach lets us guarantee quality, consistency, speed, and accountability at every step.

Our services include:

• Screen Printing for bold, durable graphics

• Embroidery for premium corporate and team apparel

• Dye Sublimation for full-coverage custom designs

• Cut & Sew Manufacturing for truly bespoke garments

• Promotional Products & Signage for brand visibility

• Corporate & Bulk Fulfillment including inventory, warehousing, and shipping

Team Uniforms — Made Right Here in Maryland

Unlike most of our competitors, we manufacture our team uniforms in our own Maryland factory.
This gives our customers advantages few other vendors can match:

• Rush orders when deadlines get tight

• Greater customization — colors, styles, patterns, cuts, and fit

• Small-batch production without massive minimums

• Direct communication with the people actually making your uniforms

• Consistent quality batch after batch

Before COVID, team sales were one of the strongest parts of our business. In the years since, many teams were led to believe they had to work exclusively with large, dedicated team-sales dealers. The truth is, you don’t. Our capabilities exceed many of those dealers — and because we make uniforms right here at home, we can give teams a level of attention, flexibility, and reliability that big-box suppliers simply can’t match.

Trusted by Teams, Businesses & Communities

From local schools and clubs to national organizations and corporate clients, we’ve built our reputation on service, artistry, and results. Every order — big or small — receives the same level of care and craftsmanship our family has stood behind for more than four decades.

Made in Maryland. Worn Everywhere.

We’re proud to be a local business with deep roots in Maryland, serving our community while producing work that reaches far beyond it. With fast turnaround times, in-house expertise, and a commitment to excellence, Nightmare Graphics delivers products that represent you as proudly as we represent our craft.

Let’s Create Something Great Together

Your idea is the beginning. We take it from there — building apparel and products that people actually want to wear, share, and remember.
