About Fine Designs

Fine Designs, Inc. started as a two-person company in 1994 and has blossomed into a multi-million-dollar international company specializing in on-site turn-key event merchandising solutions. Under the leadership of its founders, the organization has reached out to the amateur sports community in the United States and abroad to earn countless loyal customers from the local little league in your hometown to the largest amateur sports organizations in the United States. Fine Designs has been servicing events on a local, state, regional, national, and international level for over 25 years through unique on-site printing. With 17 offices across the United States as well as six international offices, our goal is to continue to help all event coordinators, hosts and planners achieve the greatest potential from their events.

Another year of CEVA Regionals has wrapped up and we feel like we couldn’t be any happier with you and your team at Fine Designs! Everything from your team’s energetic personalities during set-up (they don’t complain about a thing!), to their positive vibes while pressing shirts/sweatshirts all day long. They’re on their feet 10+ hours a day and maintain their great energy, they are engaging and so easy to be around. They probably deal with more people than any other vendor or person at this tournament and they remain smiling, cool and accommodating.

Your art team turns around masterpieces in no-time and regardless of the tweaks we ask them to make, they make them, effortlessly.

Anna and Jessica were amazing at checking in with sizing/art for pre-printed shirts for our Staff, and asking for lists of all the teams registered so that they could be printed on shirts for both weekends. People loved it!

We love having you at our events and we love the product you have make for our members to commemorate their club season.

Thanks for another successful year!

“We have had positive experience after positive experience with them for all of our events”

Northwest Juniors Volleyball Club

We have worked with a few companies for our event apparel and none compares to Fine Designs. They go above and beyond to fulfil our needs as an event organizer and always have friendly staff on-site. Knowing that they are an extension of our organization at the tournament site, their event staff are also friendly and respectful to our customers.

We have had positive experience after positive experience with them for all of our events (over 4 per year) and have just signed on for an additional five years!

They are the best.

“These shirts are the best way to celebrate events like this!”

Kim’s Taekwondo McMinnville

Thank you so much for coming to our event! Your shirts provided everyone with a wonderful memento to take home from our Taekwondo tournament. Many of us with Kim’s Taekwondo have shirts from your company that go back many years ago and they still look great! The quality of both the fabrics and the logos are excellent! These shirts are the best way to celebrate events like this! Thank you!

I just wanted to say thank you for braving the snow and being part of our event. We hope you’ll come back next year, and hopefully, there will be better turnout and no storms!

The Columbia Empire Volleyball Association (CEVA) has had a long-standing partnership with Fine Designs to produce customized apparel for our larger events, such as our CEVA Regional Championships, CEVA Presidents Day Tournament, and many others.

Fine Designs has always been a fantastic partner to our association and provides a great service to our membership. Their products generate excitement among players and families alike, and they are able to customize almost anything to the exact specifications of their customers.

They have been a tremendous help to us as event organizers as well. They have always been more than flexible with apparel needs for our staff, officials, and other partners. What’s more, they produce our event logos each year for each tournament, and they always do so with creativity and artistic style that would be hard to reproduce.

Their on-site staff members are always professional, personable, and easy to work with. They’ve helped us with last-minute changes and additions to our staffing lists. They make it clear they are there to help us, as event organizers, make tournaments a great experience for everybody. As an event organizer, it’s really nice to know that I can rely on Fine Designs’ staff to make my life easier. Their staff is very self-sufficient, low maintenance, and very reliable.

CEVA and Fine Designs recently entered into a long-term contract to continue their services at our events, and we did so without reservation. Fine Designs is a terrific partner to CEVA, and we hope to continue our partnership with them for years to come.

If there are any questions about Fine Designs, please do not hesitate to contact me.
