Cinder Block is a full service merchandising and licensing company that was started in a small warehouse in 1989 with the philosophy that client relationships and the quality of goods and services would always be the top priority. Over fifteen years and many happy clients later, that winning philosophy remains the core of the Cinder Block experience and the reason that Cinder Block has grown into one of the top-volume screen printers in the U.S. today. (Impressions Magazine, the industry's leading publication, ranks Cinder Block in the top 25 "Top-Volume Screen Printers of 2004" based on Cinder Block's 2003 output of over 2 million impressions printed.)

Here at Cinder Block, our full range of services and professional expertise can meet a variety of needs for both music clients as well as our many other licensing partners. Cinder Block can take care of every merchandising and licensing need: printing, tour services, retail sales and e-commerce. From custom design all the way through production and sales, Cinder Block can deliver a wide array of items including t-shirts, specialty garments, and all kinds of accessories from bags to baseball caps to jewelry and more. Over the years, we have provided our services to multi-platinum recording artists like Bob Dylan, Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls and Radiohead, while also servicing corporate clients including Pixar, Sega, several sports teams (Oakland Raiders, San Francisco Giants, Oakland A's) and more.

Our artist relations and licensing specialists are expert account managers overseeing the many services we provide - from printing of merchandise orders small and large - to worldwide tour supply through the use of our affiliates in Australia, Japan, the UK and Germany. Our state-of-the-art design studio works hands-on with clients to develop a look and style that reflects their vision and captures their audience. And our own purchasing and sourcing department ensures we get the best deals and selection on the garments or items required.

From there our production and packaging team takes over in our fully automated production plant with multiple presses that give Cinder Block the ability to produce over 40,000 impressions per day. Our shipping and distribution department can send your goods anywhere in the world they need to go, or the tour department can provide a road crew member to go out on the road with your band to oversee all aspects of merchandise sales, inventory and accounting from tour start to finish

Cinder Block also has its own wholesale and sales distribution department. Our worldwide distribution of licensed merchandise to retailers has been in full swing for over nine years, providing goods to thousands of stores throughout the US, Europe and Asia. We use 11 sales groups and over 60 sales reps nationwide in addition to our in-house sales force to ensure that every effort is made to get our merchandise into clothing, specialty, and record stores all over the world.

Cinder Block can also design, launch and host on-line stores to give our clients the added business of e-commerce. We build and run official on-line stores while also producing and delivering the product directly to customers by mail-order, providing quality customer service throughout the process. And our new ticketing department can provide on-line ticket selling services so we can set up tour date "pre-sales" for fans and host special on-line promotions for selling unique "VIP ticket-plus-merchandise" packages.

At Cinder Block, our experienced and professional staff of over 100 people worldwide is dedicated to upholding the company's founding philosophy that our client relationships and the quality of goods and services we provide will always remain our top priority. We know that our clients strive for excellence in all they do, and we're honored to provide our own superior performance in return!
