Screen Printing Session Lager Coolers
We joke that we can print on anything. Sometimes we get put to the test. The printing aspect of this job was pretty conventional, but what made it unusual was the custom rig we had to build to accommodate the thickness of the cooler. Our regular “off contact” adjustments weren’t cutting it! Typically a cooler like this is something you would order direct from the manufacturer if you wanted it customized, but our friends at Full Sail Brewing had a tight deadline. We like a challenge. And because it didn’t really happen if you don’t document it, we took some pictures and put together a short video.

One of our squeegees from the manual press department went on vacation and sends his regards from Florida. Even a squeegee needs the occasional break from screen printing.
Screen Printing “Smile at the Rain”
Screen Printing a Beth Logan Illustration
We’ve been running this “Smile at the Rain” design for nearly 16 years. There are as many Beth Logan prints out there in the Pacific Northwest as there are raindrops. Watch all 9 colors come together in this video. Smile at the rain? We’re laughing at it today because it’s sunny! — in Portland.

Monster Products
Our sewing and embroidery department sometimes feels like they get the short end of the stick promo wise, so here’s some love for the bobbin heads. This is a recent job we did for Monster Products, makers of Monster Cables. These were custom-sewn jackets using Pendleton Wool, with White Leather sleeves, and they came out looking great.
Here’s an alternate view.
