Serving Myrtle Beach since 1984 Native Sons Screen Print and Embroidery started out in 1984 as a group of young Myrtle Beach natives whose goal was simple: to have fun and promote the beach lifestyle. From this genuine premise, a company was born that continues to share what it means to live on the Grand Strand. Today, Native Sons has evolved into one of the largest screen printing and embroidery companies on the East Coast with both local and national clients. Native Sons' success is a product of hard work, and a passion for what we do. While Native Sons assists the community in various annual events such as the Carolina Country Music Fest and the Myrtle Beach Marathon, they also excel in organizing events that celebrate and promote the Myrtle Beach lifestyle. A shining example of this endeavor is the Native Sons Salt Games, a 2-day beach festival and competition comprised of Surfing, Skating, Crossfit, Volleyball, food trucks, live music & more. In the five years of organizing the Salt Games, the event has grown annually with thousands of competitors and over 15,000 spectators, which has provided the Native Sons team with the knowledge, connections and experience to successfully put on a new and exciting Grand Strand event like the Myrtle Beach Jeep Jam!
