FLASHBACK: IT’S 1987 IN CHAMPAIGN, IL
Everyone’s hair is pumped up as high as the volume on the stereo. Scott Silver of Party Madness gazes on with satisfaction over the crowd of revelers wearing the totally rad custom t-shirts and most excellent party favors that he created.
His brother, DJ Mitch Silver of Music Madness spins “Rhythm of the Night” by DeBarge (you should google it!) and other songs with good beats that you can dance to. There might have been glow sticks involved.
In an interview with the Daily Illini, Scott said he saw “no end to growth” and that he intended to expand nationally with more sales representatives and increased production. So in 1993, he graduated from the University of Illinois, moved to Chicago and officially incorporated Printable.
Then one day in 1997, Mitch showed up and said, “Super Silver Powers: ACTIVATE! Form of a website and some marketing!”
Scott replied, “Shape of Some ROI on that please! Also, could you stick around to help? I’m just one guy with a dream. I could use some help growing this business.”
Then they fist-bumped, and sparks flew, and Printable grew, winning many awards along the way. They were two guys, one dream! (Maybe don’t google that.)
AND THEY CURATED MERCH HAPPILY EVER AFTER!
Ever since then, we’ve been curating custom merch and branded apparel for our clients, and we’re getting better at it every year!
Most recently, with the rise in virtual events and remote workers, we realized the need to help our clients find and deliver merch to their recipients any where in the world.
Our Pop-Up Shops, Kitting, Custom Packaging, and Home Delivery services make it easy…we do all the heavy lifting, delicate lifting, moderate lifting, etc. (As well as any hefting, hoisting, and lugging.)
Our clients get to just sit back and be impressed!
