Wish I Had a Shirt: Festivus
Kat has created lots of great holiday-themed design ideas, like those for Christmas, Chanukah and Kwanzaa. But I felt that something was missing… So I recruited some of our talented artists to create a few awesome designs perfect for celebrating a holiday for the rest of us. That’s right – Festivus! (In case you don’t watch as much TV as [...]
Food for Thought
CustomInk provides a lot of food for our team during the workweek: breakfast on Mondays, lunch on Fridays and snacks in-between. Kim H. of our Production Art team wanted to give a new meaning to our Free Food Friday, so she suggested giving up Friday lunch at CustomInk during the month of December and instead sending the money not spent [...]
Customer Stories: Unique Christmas Cards
Did I just hear a collective groan at the thought of family Christmas card photos? Oh, that was just me? Shoot. Here’s the thing. I’m allergic to Christmas – well, the trees anyway. But my family insists on having one each year. So our Christmas morning photo stars me playing the role of Rudolph, completely red-nosed. (Bet you’ll [...]

Customer Stories: Veterans Day T-Shirts
Veterans Day on November 11th is the official day to honor our military veterans, and our customers have taken the opportunity to do so with custom military t-shirts – like Mrs. Pearson’s 3rd grade music class in Oklahoma. Since 2005, her students have presented a program for Veterans Day, complete with “costumes” made especially by and [...]
Customer Stories: Turkey Trot Shirts
What has a keen eye for design and trots just like a turkey? Our creative customers, of course! If you’re like me, to get ready for Thanksgiving, you’d check out our selection of elastic waistbands in the sweats and loungewear categories. But maybe – like a lot of our customers – you’d rather take a more active approach to the holiday. [...]
An Inker Halloween
Amanda gave some great ideas for Halloween costumes, and Michael provided a few tips on throwing a spook-tacular bash; now it’s my turn. Inkers have always had quite a bit of Halloween spirit, both with pumpkin decorating and a fantastic turnout of folks in costume for our annual contest. And Inkers aren’t afraid to get [...]
