248creative Creates Splatter Printing Technique For FreeScreening, Live Screen Printing.

October 25th, 2008

FreeScreening lends itself to creativity. It’s fun and messy… screens and shirts fly around, each t-shirt produced is totally unique. Everytime we do an event, people ask us to do new tricks for their garments. At our most recent FreeScreen event on 10.17.08 at the Magic Stick in Detroit, MI we birthed our newest t-shirt printing innovation, splatter printing.

One of the limitations of FreeScreening is that each design is a one color print, since totally consistant registration of multiple screens is impossible with no press. We’ve come up with splatter printing to get more color in designs but still keep each print unique.

Short Run Specialists

October 24th, 2008

While a lot of print houses may shun small jobs and short runs, 248creative is more than happy to oblige customers who need small quantities of high-quality custom printing done. Traditionally, setup costs have made printing short runs of customized products cost prohibitive. New advances in print technology have made dramatic changes to the amount of setup and skilled labor required to prepare your project. We utilize some of the most advanced technologies, equipment and processes in modern printing, so we can pass these savings on to you. We have NO MINIMUMS on ANYTHING WE PRINT! That’s right, you can get one piece of virtually everything we order if you desired.

Let us know what we can do to make your next project look next level.

248creative Innovates Promotional Marketing With The Introduction Of FreeScreening, Live Screen Printing With Flare.

October 23rd, 2008

Innovation is an central tenet of 248creative. We’ve always tried to do things a little different and a little better than the guy down the block. Whether its printing t-shirts or design technique, we have a growing list of credits that are far outside the box. Never has it been more apparent than with our introduction of FreeScreening.

FreeScreening is definitely one of the more exciting things we’ve come up with. FreeScreening is a killer new promotional option for businesses who really want to get a buzz going and keep people around their displays and tradeshow booths. FreeScreening is a specialized live screen printing method that gets a tremendous amount of interest going.

You just let us know where and when your event is, we do everything else. We show up with blank garments, killer designs on silk screens, inks and equipment to transform a corner of your event into a live t-shirt studio! Let your market get in on the action by picking the shirt they want, picking the design they want and then helping to print it. It’s a very high-impact technique that leaves serious impressions… everyone wears t-shirts, but not too many people have printed their own… let alone one with you or your client’s logo on it!

It’s an ideal marketing option for trade show promotions for any industry or musician, cigarette and alcohol promotions. It requires very little space, setup or power so we can FreeScreen anywhere – bars, clubs, trade shows, conventions or concert venues!

248creative has been FreeScreening for select clients for years, but has now opened this option up to everyone. Put it to work for you.

248creative Launches Fall Fleece Special

October 7th, 2008

Fall is officially here, what better way to greet it that with our custom laser-etched fleece outerwear. A lot of people don’t know about this great decoration technique. With laser etching, heat is applied with surgical accuracy to a fleece garment, burning your company logo into the fabric. The result is a very classy monochromatic print that will never fade or wash out.

248creative offers the best fleece garments, tapestries and blankets for etching. With fall coming up, you don’t want to miss this opportunity to put your brand on your customers’ backs. Give them something they’ll actually wear!

For the entire month of October (2008) we’re offering a 10% discount on all laser etched fleece orders. Give us a call or email today to get your order started.

248creative At E2 Detroit

October 1st, 2008

We got our registration for E2 Detroit today. It looks like a really promising event and we’re all pretty excited about it. It will be interesting to see if they follow a rigid script or if it’s more freeform and reactive to the recent relevant economic activity in the US.

There is a growing tech sector here in southeast Michigan, and the more entrepreneurial events that get produced, the better to help support that community.

Should be a good time!
