We interviewed more than 15 different screen print shops from across the US at Impressions Expo 2020 in January. Now, the world is totally different. But there's still a lot of value in hearing what successful print shops were thinking about before this crisis. Listen in as we talk through the biggest victories shops had throughout 2019:
- Printing for the Oklahoma Thunder, turning around 20,000 shirts in less than 2 days at Oklahoma Shirt Company.
- Everlane at The New York Times through Barrel Maker Printing.
- Joining 1% For The Planet at Rockfort Art Deli in Rockford, IL.
- Watching employees step up and realize how invested the team has become at Rowboat Creative in Chicago, IL (and building incredible systems to train people!)
- Being able to leave the shop and travel at In-House Prints from NJ.
- Being profitable, getting three new presses, and running a truly happy shop at New Era Apparel in NY.
- Fully automating the screen room at Campus Ink (the correct answer for Steven was getting engaged at Rowboat Creative!).
- Getting the team in place at Let's Print LA.
- Leveraging technology to provide genuine services and add more value at Stoked On Printing in Las Vegas, NV.
- Participating in the industry and making new friends at trade shows with Noreast Apparel in Lowell, MA.
- Hiring a videographer to document their shop at Golden Press Studio.
