"We're always exploring ways to expand
our business, with plans to offer additional
print types in the future," Sill says, adding
that embroidery presents the greatest opportunity for growth."With our aggressive
flat-rate pricing mode, cutting-edge technology and industry-leading production
times, we feel strongly that we offer our
customers a more efficient and cost-effective solution for their embroidery needs."

mix-and-match fulfillment also is offered
so customers can combine different designs
and products in the same shipment.
Despite the forward thinking, challenges
occasionally arise.
"The biggest challenge we encounter
in the contract-printing space is introducing our customers to new technology
and decoration techniques," Sill says."An
example of this is direct-to-garment (DTG)
printing. Many of our customers have a
need for DTG, but are [accustomed] to
the quality product screen printing yields.
It presents a challenge to make clear the
advantages and flexibility DTG offers."
Sill says e-commerce and the advent of
print-on-demand services is changing the
printing industry's landscape. He describes
DTG as a cost-efficient solution for quickly
printing one-offs and samples in full color.
When presented with challenges from

customers, Scalable Press surmounts them
via education."We develop tools and resources to keep customers informed and
better position them to expand their businesses with new technology, like DTG,"
Sill says.
In addition to education, Sill keeps customer service a top priority, and quality
and efficiency are frontline company characteristics. This all underscores Scalable
Press' goal of creating a positive impact on
its customers and their businesses.
A substantial investment in equipment
may be another ingredient in Scalable Press'
secret sauce.The company's five locations
in Texas, California, Indiana and Pennsylvania encompass 200,000 square feet of
production space and include 36 automatic
screen-printing presses and more than 100
direct-to-garment (DTG) printers.
The company currently offers five dec-

Sill says technology and infrastructure
set Scalable Press apart in an increasingly
competitive garment-printing industry.
"With custom-built ordering and
fulfillment processes, we harness the power
of automation to print custom merchandise fast," he says. "We make it easier for
people to order with a number of ways
to do so, including dynamic integrations
for online businesses."
Future plans for Scalable Press include the
addition of another production facility and
a robust embroidery program.The company's Dallas production center currently
is its largest, supporting all print types for
customers in the southern United States
and South America.A flat-rate embroidery
pricing model is unprecedented, Sill says.
"The embroidery program is designed
to deliver high-quality products at low
prices - for any volume," he adds."We've
expanded our daily capacity and we're
equipped for exponential growth." 
