CORE VALUE

Betterment

bet·ter·ment

/ˈbedərmənt/

noun

the act or process of improving something.

After 12 years in business, we are still on the lookout for ways to optimize our shop. Yes, we appreciate efficiency. But our commitment to customer satisfaction is what really drives our relentless pursuit of betterment. Every improvement we make is ultimately about finding ways to make the workplace and workflow better for our team so that we can consistently deliver the best quality gear and customer experience.

Here's a look at some improvements around the shop that we've made recently:

NEW PLATENS: Platen are the boards that go on our screen printing press to carry items that are being printed around the press. Having a second set of these boards allows us to save time and ultimately get more done.

What it means for you: Even during our busiest seasons, we don't push out lead times. Having clean boards ready to throw on press means we don't have to slow down to clean or repaper before loading the next job. We just load the clean set and BOOM. Back to work!

INK MIXER: “The Formulator” relaxes our white ink by mixing it constantly, resulting in a fabulously loose and smooth ink. When ink is cold it gets stiff and results in prints that are inconsistent. The mixer ensures that our ink is always ready for optimal printing results.

What it means for you: More consistent, brighter, and smoother prints.

CAP BACK FRAMES: The back of hats can be tricky to customize. These frames help simplify and streamline the process by keeping the hat stretched and perfectly in place.

What it means for you: Perfectly placed artwork on the back of every hat and a larger stitchable area.

JONATHAN JOINED OUR TEAM! Jonathan joined our team in November just in time to help us through one of our busiest seasons of the year. His job includes assisting on press with setup and breakdown, quality control, and packing orders.

What it means for you: Better quality control and a little more love in every piece of custom gear.
