Our History

Palmetto Custom Printing & Graphics has roots in the Charleston community dating back more than four decades. Originally founded as Custom Printing of Charleston by Clemmie C. Rourk, Jr., the business began in a small room in his home and grew into an established Charleston printing company known for quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and dependable service.
As the business entered its next chapter, ownership transitioned to Gerald L. Blake, who continued that tradition while building what is now Palmetto Custom Printing & Graphics, LLC.

Today, Palmetto Custom Printing & Graphics is proud to be a Black-owned, family-operated business serving individuals, families, schools, organizations, and businesses throughout the Charleston area and beyond.
While printing remains at the heart of what we do, our services have continued to grow to meet the changing needs of our customers. From custom apparel and promotional products to graphic design, signage, business printing, and personalized projects, we are committed to helping our customers bring their ideas to life.

As a family business, we believe our work is about more than what comes off the press. It's about relationships, community, quality, and building something that lasts. We are proud of the history behind Palmetto and excited about the next generation of the business as we continue to grow, modernize, and serve our community.

Quality. Creativity. Community. Legacy.
