Some years ago we did some work for a major sporty retail brand. At one point they added to their huge book of rules that we had to put a piece of cardboard inside every box, so that they could slice open the boxes (recklessly) and not cut a shirt. I asked if instead we…
Here is an article I wrote for Printwear a couple years ago. It still rings true. Summer is the worst time for ghost images to occur, with heat and humidity on the rise on the Northern Hemisphere right now. I have had an inquiry every other day about somebody having ghost issues and so here…
Simple yet brilliant. Our Hanes/Champion rep dropped off some promo items. Love them. 1. Flash drive – who does not need more flash drives? 2. Pens – yeah, who has too many pens? 3. The world’s best box cutter – It took me ten minutes to figure it out because I’m not a genius, but…
