Katalyst Ko Printshop, a locally owned custom apparel and promotional products company based in Mesa, recently appeared among the first three results in Yelp’s search for print shops in Mesa, Arizona.

The visibility places Katalyst Ko among the businesses displayed within Yelp’s “Top 10 BEST” search experience for Mesa-area print shops. Yelp search results can change based on location, filters, user activity, and Yelp’s ranking system, but the appearance represents a meaningful milestone for a local company built through customer relationships, referrals, and hands-on project support.

We never wanted Katalyst Ko to feel like a place where customers send a file and hope everything turns out right. Our goal is to be a true print partner—someone who listens, helps solve problems, recommends the right products, and cares about how the finished project represents the customer’s brand.”
— Josh Girgenti, Owner and Founder

Built in Mesa to Serve Mesa and the East Valley

Founded in 2022, Katalyst Ko Printshop serves businesses, schools, churches, teams, nonprofits, events, and community organizations throughout Mesa and the greater Phoenix area.

That local connection shapes how the company works. Rather than forcing every project into the same template, Katalyst Ko helps customers make practical decisions about garments, decoration methods, quantities, budgets, timelines, and intended use.

For customers who are unsure whether they need screen printing or direct-to-film printing, custom embroidery, or another production method, the team provides hands-on guidance before an order enters production.

More Than Custom T-Shirts

Although custom apparel remains a major part of the business, Katalyst Ko has developed into a full-service print and promotional partner. Its capabilities include:

• Screen Printing
• Direct-to-Film Printing
• Custom Embroidery
• Promotional Products
• Banners, Signs and Stickers
• Engraving and Sublimation
• Custom Web Stores
• Artwork Support

By bringing these services together, Katalyst Ko can help customers build complete campaigns without coordinating several disconnected vendors. A business might need embroidered polos for staff, printed shirts for an event, banners for a booth, and branded drinkware for customer gifts. A school or team may need spirit wear, player apparel, sponsor signage, and a web store for families. Katalyst Ko can help plan and coordinate the project under one roof.

Premium Products Without Guesswork

The finished decoration is only part of a successful project. The garment or product underneath it affects how the brand is perceived and whether people will actually use or wear it.

Katalyst Ko offers access to everyday, performance, retail-inspired, and premium apparel. Customers can choose dependable staples for high-volume projects as well as elevated products for executive apparel, employee recognition, client gifts, sales teams, golf events, and premium merchandise.

Instead of assuming the most expensive product is automatically the right choice, Katalyst Ko helps match each product to the audience, purpose, budget, and decoration method. Customers can also explore the company’s apparel vendor catalogs or ask the team for recommendations.

Customer Service That Continues After the Quote

Online ordering has made custom printing more accessible, but it has also made the process increasingly transactional. Complex jobs still require communication, judgment, and accountability.

Katalyst Ko’s customer experience is built around responsive, hands-on project support from the initial conversation through production. That includes helping customers clarify their goals, select the right products, review artwork, understand pricing, and set realistic timing expectations.

The company’s customer reviews and referrals reflect the value of that approach. For Katalyst Ko, positive feedback is not simply a marketing metric; it is evidence that customers felt heard, supported, and confident in the finished result.

A Local Milestone—and a Standard to Keep Earning

Katalyst Ko views its visibility on Yelp as a milestone, not a finish line.

Being displayed among the top Mesa print-shop results is something we’re grateful for, but it also signals a standard – one that can be trusted and respected. Every order is another opportunity to earn that. We want our customers to have the kind of experience where they know we value them, their brand, and their project… everything else is bonus.”
— Josh Girgenti, Owner and Founder

As Katalyst Ko continues to grow, the company remains focused on strong communication, thoughtful recommendations, quality products, dependable production, and long-term customer relationships.
