CLASSB, INC.
TAMPA, FLORIDA

About ClassB Our family business started for the purpose of making shirts for our boy scout and girl scout troops. Our company operates on the values learned in Scouting. ClassB’s goal as a company is to provide high quality decorated garments and custom products with a focus on the best artwork and processes. We take pride in always treating the customer in the same way we would like to be treated. Honestly and integrity is key at ClassB. All customers get the same deal. All prices and policies are as transparent as possible to the customer. We are a full service screen printing, embroidery and advertising specialties company offering a wide range of promotional items to promote your organization. The ClassB Story In 1982, Shirts & Caps was started by Terry Hilferding to provide screenprinted t-shirts to the Zephyrhills community. The first t-shirts she printed were for her son Eric’s Boy Scout patrol. From there, Shirts & Caps became a valued supplier for local businesses, schools, and clubs. We expanded from the garage into a strip mall location in 1985. In 1994, we moved to our location on 5th Ave. Growth beyond East Pasco was planned. We looked at branches, telemarketing, mail order and outside sales people. None of these were very successful. In 1997, we put up our first website, an image of our current flyer. We learned that ampersands aren’t allowed in website names, so we searched for another way to describe ourselves. We created a website for each subset of customers. ClassB was used for the scouting market due to its short easy to remember name. We also needed a name that would reflect more than shirts, since we offered patches and resources on the Scouting site. The other sites usually had tees or shirts in the name. In September 2010, we defined our focus on non-profit organizations and families in a letter announcing the combining of all of our websites into ClassB.com: At ClassB we work together to bring you awesome art and the best quality custom t-shirts Two things are critical to quality: Printing and Art. We have a team of artists and printers working together in Tampa, Florida who are dedicated to your order. We are proud to say that we do not outsource either of these key components. With ClassB, you can trust that you’re ordering from a real small business, not a large company outsourcing its art and printing.
