About Silkworm
Locally owned, regionally connected, and nationally recognized. We've been making your competition jealous since 1981.
From a Class Project to a National Brand
Silkworm started as a class project between two high school friends in Murphysboro, IL. What began as a simple idea turned into a passion, and that passion grew into one of the Heartland's most trusted custom apparel and promotional products companies.
Today, with over 70 dedicated team members, a 32,000 sq ft state-of-the-art facility, and seven printing presses, we continue to serve customers locally, regionally, and nationally — all while staying true to our roots.
We are a BBB Accredited business, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our promise is simple: quality products, on-time delivery, and excellent personal service throughout the entire process.
