About Crest & Standard
Your Success Is Our Standard
Founded in October 2025 and based in Burlington, North Carolina, Crest & Standard exists to help businesses, teams, and organizations grow their brands through exceptional design, quality custom apparel, and innovative e-commerce solutions delivered with integrity and care.
We serve the Piedmont Triad—Alamance, Rockingham, Guilford, Orange and Durham counties—with a simple belief: great branding shouldn't be complicated, expensive, or stressful. Whether you're a small business owner, school administrator, church leader, sports team coach, or event planner, you deserve a partner who listens, delivers on time, and genuinely cares about your success.
From Logo to Legacy
At Crest & Standard, we don't just print shirts—we transform your logo into walking billboards that amplify your message and grow your reach. From custom laser-engraved leather patch hats to embroidered polos, DTF printed hoodies to fully-managed e-commerce stores through our Merch24 program, we provide the branding tools you need to stand out and succeed.
Your success is our success. We have a vested interest in seeing our neighbors, friends, and local organizations thrive. That's not just a tagline—it's how we do business.

Meet Casey Thompson, Founder & Owner
Hi, I'm Casey Thompson, and I've spent the last 13 years working in marketing across private label, education, and apparel industries. I've seen what works, what doesn't, and what frustrated customers truly need from a branding partner.
I started Crest & Standard because I believe small businesses are the backbone of our economy—and having lived in this area my entire life, I have a personal stake in helping my community succeed. When you work with Crest & Standard, you're working directly with me. I'm not behind the scenes; I'm your partner in the process, building relationships that go far beyond a single transaction.
I love this community, and I'm committed to its success—one great piece of branded apparel at a time.
