Polyester: A Much Improved Blast from the Past
Ever wish you knew more about the fabrics used to make our products? Thought you did, so I’ve dedicated this blog post to schooling you on polyester – a “go-to” fabric in many of our athletic and t-shirt styles. It’s come a long way since the very “colorful” clothes of the 70s (that was the nicest way I could say it). And with the [...]
Image Selection: What’s the .Gif-ference?
I am firmly putting on my Sales/Service Representative hat to work through a series of questions I get asked about using your own artwork in a design. What files work best? How do I upload my files? How do I make sure it prints the way I want it to? A few weeks ago, I wrote about cool things that you can do with a photo, but before we [...]
National Hat Day
Did you know that tomorrow, January 15th is National Hat Day?! In celebration of this much loved and sometimes overlooked American staple, I thought it would be nice to give hats their time to shine…err shade…well, you get it. These are just a few of my favorites…
Customer Stories: Valentine’s Day
February conjures up images of hearts, cupids and generally lovey-dovey stuff. It holds the dreaded, er, sweet celebration of love and lovers: Valentine’s Day.

Oh, Canada!
As I settle in to write today’s post I am thankful for one thing; I’m not outside.

It is too frigid for even my arctic blood, but one thing that makes me feel better is [...]
Artist Spotlight: T-Shirt Time
If you follow us on Facebook or have read Our Story, you may think we hang out in our t-shirts and flip-flops having fun all day. Well, that is mostly true… but like any office, we have meetings. It may be hard to believe, but our conference rooms didn’t have any clocks! Meetings would get off track, run late, or just carry [...]
Creative Services: More Creative Than This Title!
There are some things that I’m really great at, like being able to guess the plot to movies before they come out (Seven Pounds; totally called it), or naming all of the kings of ancient Mexico (thank you, Art History degree!). Then there are some things I’m not so good at… like math, dodgeball, and…tanning. What I’m saying is we’re [...]
Happy New Year!
The beginning of a new year marks a time to reflect on the successes of the previous year and resolve to make even more of an impact in the year ahead. And of course, to lose some weight – let’s be honest. But seriously, we at CustomInk wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you for letting us be a part of your special [...]
