I am a huge fan of shopping local. Commonwealth Press has a couple of brick and mortar stores but it was neat to go see the warehouse where all of the magic happens. It is a warehouse but it is being remodeled and it is coming together nicely. One of my favorite things was a bubble window. It is in a wall on the inside. It's unexpected and fun. The owner gave us a short tour and also gave us a brief history on Commonwealth Press. I was impressed with his story of how this company came to be. (He had lost his job and decided to try something new.). It took time to build up his company but it seemed like only a short time. However, people know quality when they see it. Commonwealth Press is 100% quality.
We had the opportunity to screen print a t-shirt. The shirts that we had to choose from were very soft. They weren't stiff at all. You knew that they were going to be very comfortable to wear. We were given four screens to choose from. I went with the dog themed one. It was fun to do and it turned out great. They even have a little machine that you put it through to dry the paint. It was very cool. What is even more cool is that CP can screen print pretty much anything you can imagine (as long as it isn't racist or something crazy like that). So the sky is the limit! Having a family reunion? Have shirts printed. Are you part of a cool group? Have shirts printed. Running for office? Have shirts printed. On a sports team? Have shirts printed. You get the idea. Why buy online when you can buy local and support our economy. You will be glad you did!!
