Instant Imprints

The promotional advertising industry includes many different products and services. Most people don't realize just how immense this industry has become. Although they have been around for over half a century, the screen printing, embroidery, sign and promotional products industries lacked the technology to easily enter into them.

Until now, these fields were comprised of tens of thousands of independent shops across the United States. New innovations, as well as over thirty years experience, have allowed us to completely revolutionize these well established industries.

We have successfully merged these normally separate businesses into a 'one-stop shop' with an identifiable brand image and an intelligent approach to marketing and sales. We have developed turn-key solutions for newcomers as well as created benefits and new systems for seasoned industry veterans.

With over 100 production centers in 3 countries, Instant Imprints offers two distinct business models for every investment level. There is the traditional retail location offering complete onsite production at any scale. There is also a new option that allows owners to operate the business part time and take advantage of online ordering.
