These garments work well for embroidery or vinyl heat transfers. A name or player number adds an extra personal touch.

Backpacks for Commuters

It is so much easier to work from home these days. Unless you run an embroidery shop then not so much…those machines are way to heavy to carry anywhere! But for a lot of folks bringing home the lap top is a way of life. As long as you have to (or want to) do it why not make a stylish statement with it.

Backpacks are a highly visible  way of getting your brand out there.  More important it is a product guaranteed to be used; not tucked away in some dark spot in the far corner of a desk collecting dust.

Besides being perfect for your employee’s everyday use  they also can be used to highlight employee achievements, work anniversaries, or used as an appreciation gift for your top clients. Going on a corporate outing, retreat, or trade show? The backpacks can be stuffed with other goodies and become  another  way to make your brand seen.

Mineral Freeze by Sport-Tek

Sport-Tek just introduced a new line of digital printed gear call Mineral Freeze.

These items are perfect for sports team and spirit wear. Because of the very busy pattern we highly recommend a center chest sized logo in  either a one or two color design for heat transfer or screen print.

The tee’s are  100% polyester in a 3.8 oz weight so they are cool, light, and moisture wicking.

Check out the whole line of Mineral Freeze here.

Website Updates

All of this snow has to be good for something. For me it has allowed me some time to start some much needed updates to the website.

First you may have noticed a new layout and an addition of our promotional logo The Next Event. Remember we do more than just embroidery and screen printing. If you can put your name on it we can most likely get it for you.

Second we have added a new tab called E-Catalogs. These are digital catalogs  geared for more specific needs and enables you to focus in on what you are looking for. They also are available in print so stop by the shop if you want to grab a copy.

Third we have added another tab called Design Your Own Logo. This new tab will take you to a design website with hundreds of clip art options and ideas. A perfect choice when you have a limited design budget or are in need of a design turned around quickly. It is also just a great resource to let your creativity flow.

webpage2We will be continuing to add more resources to the website to make it easier to navigate and to help you quickly find what you are looking for.

If you have suggestions on improvements feel free to use the RED Contact Us button on the right side of the web page and leave us a message.

 

Show off your doodling

When I was in second grade I drew on my white Keds. My parents were none too happy about it. I don’t remember the punishment but I know I never drew on my sneakers again. But I remember vividly sitting on the floor of my bedroom with my blue ball point pen making random lines and swirls in the rubber and loving how the ink felt as I wrote my name on the toes of the shoes. At least I didn’t mark them right and left… I did that later to my poor sister.

This  photo from Highsnobiety brought back the memory of how much fun doodling is. And while I no longer doodle on my sneakers it’s nice to know that now it could be considered high art.

Have some great doodling you would like to immortalize? We can’t print on sneakers but we can transfer your art to tee’s, sweatshirts, towels, and bags. Got some ideas? Let us know….and we won’t tell Mom what you are up to.

 

9 Days until…….. V DAY!

You have nine days until Valentines day. But no need to panic. Look around you for inspiration to make this year different and special.

I found this post on our Blog Lovin feed from enJOY it. Click on the photo to go the original article.

VDAY

I of course translated it into a few quick tee shirt ideas.

Heart Tees

Our model Mitzi in red is wearing a Hanes v-neck with a heart I grabbed from free clip art. Eleanor is wearing a a crew neck Gildan tee with a design I made up in Corel Draw. (Yes those hearts are orange…think out side the box…hearts come in all colors!)

Quick, simple, and a gift that keeps on giving. Remember it doesn’t have to be over the top to make a lasting and loving impression. Or it can be a great addition to an over the top gift if you are so inclined.

Look around, get inspried, and Happy Valentine’s Day!

PS: Words on a tee make and easy and quick gift. I had several picked out to do for this post but…I ran out of time…After all customers work comes first!

 

Happy Groundhog Day

So another snow/sleet event here in New England. I am sure this storm has a name but I have no clue what it is. And it doesn’t really matter because according to the groundhog we have another six weeks of winter anyway. Kind of bumming….

This post from Bored Panda made me laugh however and I hope you find a favorite to brighten this snowy day.

Stay warm and enjoy the six weeks.
