Where are you located?
What are your business hours?
Why do you manufacture almost all of your products on-site?
When the business started, we attempted to source from all over in order to minimize costs – typical of any startup! But we learned early on that others could just not meet our quality standards. Sometimes, particularly when the goods came from China or other cheap off shore locations, they took forever to be delivered and many times the colors and quality were just not correct. We find that we can save our clients money and manufacture higher quality items right here in Tucson. Additionally, we try to save our environment whenever possible and use inks and substrates that are environmentally friendly.
