ReWear Logo Revealed


In a previous posting, we discussed the introduction of a brand of the clothing from Red Hot Inkers.  In today's post we reveal the logo for ReWear.  Established in 2013, the ReWear logo indicates it is presented by Red Hot Inkers.  Salvaged from Department 99, we present the ReWear logo.  The logo sports a distressed logo.  This is by design to promote the essence of ReWear.  An old worn image on an re worn shirt.

No Minimum Quantity


As a screen printer, I was constantly encountering requests for designs printed on shirts of less than a quantity of 12.  Twelve is that magic number where the number of shirts printed upon are at a minimum to justify the laborious effort required to make a screen for printing.  And, that's just for one color.  Additional colors  in the art work make that effort even greater.  

Direct-to-garment printing is not limited by minimum quantity.  Single shirt orders are welcomed and just as easy at orders consisting of hundreds of shirts. 

When you want to consider placing an order, know that you can place an order for any quantity; even as low as one.

Promote yourself!

Do You ReWear?


As noted in our previous posting, we have a green and environmentally friendly approach to business.  We're not there yet, but we're always moving in that direction.  Our water based non-toxic inks are part of that model.  Another aspect is our ReWear brand.  

What is ReWear?  Its recycled, reused, reduced, refurbished, repurposed clothing.  It is previously owned clothing.  But, its also new clothing from our core business.  Occasionally we have goofs on jobs, experimental designs and extras which are all new garments.

We feel, in our green approach, that something positive can be done with the extra clothing that comes into our possession.  Something to help stimulate the economy and supporting of jobs here in the USA.  So, we created a brand which supports the notion that wearing previously owned clothing, production goofs is cool, in that it shows you support wearing this ReWear clothing over foreign made new clothing when the opportunity presents itself.  We recognize our core business is selling new shirts, but let's make a difference where we can.

As we expand the ReWear brand beyond the mostly one-of-a-kind garments, we plan on introducing regular repurposed items such as pillows and blankets made from garments too shabby and dysfunctional to wear.  Additionally, we'll be offering garments with the upcoming ReWear logo.

Regularly, ReWear items will be associated to campaigns in which Red Hot Inkers will donate part of the sale to a non-profit agency.

The beginning

Red Hot Inkers now has a blog.  Here, we will discuss garment printing ideas, promotions and cool new products. Stay tuned.


Introduction

Red Hot Inkers was established in 2006 as being a full service promotional products company helping individuals and other companies develop promotional programs, and printing of promotional products.  This included, was not limited to pens, mugs, awards, garments and so many more items.  Essentially, if a logo could be printed on something in the universe, we could do it.

Starting in 2013, we are rebranding ourselves to be a digital garment printing centric company with additional attention paid to the realm of rhinestone embellishments on garments, of which we do in-house.  We can certainly assist with other types of promotional products, but we no longer do those in-house.  

With this move to digital garment printing, we have moved away from the oil based inks of screen printing to the environmentally friendly non-toxic water based inks.  We at Red Hot Inkers are proud to support a greener business model, and using water based inks is a move in that direction.
