SAC Designs

Absolutely fabulous. I had a small but very important T-shirt printing job I needed done in a very…read moreshort timeframe. I called all of the big "established" printers in the greater Boston area, and nobody would accommodate the job. "We're too busy," they said. One printer kept insisting to me that the design I had would look "terrible" -- "it'll never work." "Also," he told me, "it'll be so expensive [well over $600 for the $30/piece per-color, per-side, per-effect plate set-up charges for the 29 shirts, two colors, front and back], "it'll cost me over $300, and I won't even have started printing the first shirt." He told me bluntly that "It's not worth it for me to do this job. Maybe if it was 100 shirts, or I had an extra week, it would be worth it for me." In the end, I DID manage to find a shop that told me they could do it -- they farm all their jobs out to their "mother ship" factory somewhere far away -- but with all the per-color etc. plate fees, plus a "rush charge" of $75, the job would cost over $700. Then I discovered Bella Printing. Starting to despair, I called up and spoke with Amber, the owner of the small, charming shop just down Main Street from Woburn Center. Amber was wonderful -- relaxed, professional, and very straightforward. Not only was she willing and able to do the job, but the price was close to half what the "big printers" were charging. "I don't believe in per-plate set up fees," Amber told me. "I think they're just a made-up fee that a lot of printers charge to get more money out of you." The only difference between Bella and anyone else, besides the starkly lower cost and the flexibility, was the fact that Bella's shirt silkscreening process can't accommodate "halftones" -- the conversion of pictures into small dots. My design had areas that I expected to be dots, so I just used an easy Photoshop process to turn the "picture-like" areas into lines of varying widths (Photoshop does this automatically) instead of dots. I got her the artwork, and she called promptly to tell me the lines appeared to be too close together. I modified the lines, resent her the artwork -- and two days later received a box containing SUPERBLY printed shirts, with two colors on the front and THREE colors on the back. Amber made the design look great -- in men's, women's and youth sizes. The shirt quality was fantastic -- nice, thick, 100% cotton Gildan. The shirt color, which Amber helped me spec out, was consistent across all shirts -- perfect. I cannot recommend Bella Printing more. Amber is a small local entrepreneur who simply does it better, faster, and less expensively than anyone else -- and she helped us out of a jam at the same time as she provided us with excellent quality printing. Rest assured, I will be calling Bella first -- for as many of my clothing printing, indoor and outdoor signage, banner needs, decals, etc. as they can handle. To summarize: I may have picked up my order, but OMG does Bella deliver! Bravo to a job beautifully well done, with aplomb to boot. Bella, quite simply, ROCKS.

I met John and we talked about the website - my current site and my vision for the new site. In about 10 minutes, I was confident that John was exactly the person I wanted to give this task to. He challenged me to think through the purpose of the site and what future clients would be looking for. He really helped me think of my website as not only a portfolio, but as a powerful selling tool for my business. He encouraged some very intelligent business choices on issues I had never thought of. After finalizing the goals and objectives of the new site, John quickly went to work. He built me a site that not only showcases my work, but keeps the user interested and traveling through all the pages. As a result, users are visiting longer. Up until now, all of my work came from client referrals and with my new website, I am now receiving clients through online searches. John educated me on how to keep my site interesting and how to properly tag my pages and articles. It is amazing what a difference this has all made. The new site is mobile- and user-friendly and it is beautiful! John has a great personality and is a clear thinker with creative ideas- he is an absolute pleasure to work with! Hiring him to create your website will be the best business decision you ever made. I can't say enough about how wonderful he is. Don't wait; hire him and you'll wonder why you didn't do it years ago!!!

My industry tends to buy in bulk and get all of their printing needs from a printer located out of state. For many years, it was just easier to stay with what you know. More recently however I found out why I like to shop locally. Not only did they deliver my order, but they did it quickly and with a smile. Look everyone knows where this country of ours is headed, outsource everything, NAFTA and the 90's did a number on America, but maybe just maybe there is hope. With a clever name like Minuteman which screams America, and local sourcing and smiles there really is no reason for me to ever call anybody else. Lindsay and her crew are fast, efficient, knowledgeable and priced right. I was a printer for 4 years and know the long hours, customer OK's and general bull@#$ you have to put up with and now that I am on the other end, let me just tell you how nice it is to have someplace like this. No job too big or small and the personal touch that this country so sorely needs and misses. Let's give a big finger to the Walmart's and Amazons of the world and keep this country of ours, and jobs, and revenue in the hands of local businesses. You'll just feel better about yourself. Happy 4th people.....
