Yes, today is bitter sweet. On the bright side we enjoyed printing some unique custom apparel items for a folk dancing group and finishing up a patch design for a Christian ministry. On a more somber note, we'll also be printing memorial t-shirts for family and friends of a United States Marine that was killed in a traffic accident in California. He would have been 34 today, and leaves behind a daughter. It's a little quiet in the shop today.

If you're getting hoodies printed, it might be a good time to add a few button down dress shirts, t-shirts, and polos.  Many times all can be custom screen printed at the same time.  Now, you've got a full closet and ready for whatever the weather or the occasion requires!

Some snow plow drivers are getting together for a little fun competition. And, they wanted a momento for one of the drivers.  This is a 6" x 8" jade glass we'll sand etch for the lucky driver.  It's beveled on all sides, resting in a black wooden base. Yes, the base does kind of look like asphalt.  You would almost think we planned it that way.  Now, we're getting ready to do some mock-ups on the glass.  Yes, we literally design the layout, print it out in color, then tape it to the back of the glass, photograph it, then email that photo to the client for approval.  It's funny how we can mimic the clear jade color of glass in the mock up.  We do all the graphics in white so when it's printed out, it looks very close to an etched ...

Normally, we print the front and backs of shirts.  Sometimes, somebody wants the sleeves printed.  But, now, we're just as likely to print the side of the shirt.  These are a bunch of shirts we printed for a non-profit group.  The double-lined stars were printed with turquoise ink on the side of the lime colored shirts.  Pretty cool color combo...They really pop out nice don't they?

While day temperatures in West Michigan have been hovering in the 70s, the night temps have been dropping to the 40s. That means cooler temps in the evenings and the need for sweatshirts! "Fleece" in the industry jargon. This semi arrived this morning at Ad-America to drop off a load of sweatshirts. Hey, we'd like to see this every morning! Now might be a good time to consider fleece products for your company or non-profit. I hear it's still going to be cold in Michigan for a few months yet. The two most popular fleece products are "Hoodies" (hooded sweatshirts) and the standard crewneck sweatshirts. They both come in a variety of price points and weights of cotton, so you should be able to find a style that meets your quality and ...
