5,000!! That’s how many shirts we just printed for the Schlotzsky’s Bun Run happening tomorrow at Auditorium Shores. We are so happy to be a part of such a great event.

On the music merch front we recently printed some tees for our buddies Alpha Rev.

This was designed by our very own Jillian Tito. She did a fabulous job!

We also reprinted quite a few t-shirts for some more pals of our Reckless Kelly.

It was a GREAT week. Be safe everyone!!

We must be the luckiest print shop in Austin. I mean, we get to print for Mellow Johnny’s!!! Did you know that this guy owns the amazing bike shop that is Mellow Johnny’s?

Look at those beauties getting boxed up!

Complete with back tag print. Boo-ya!!

Our shop has been buzzing with activity lately and we couldn’t be happier about it. SXSW treated us very well and we’ve been busy ever since. Here are just a couple of jobs we finished up recently that we wanted to share with you.
