Thoughts that come from all places
From:  pmtvoice.com
Last night I was watching Mythbusters on Discovery Channel (if you haven’t seen them…check it out here) and noticed that they use a lot of apple computers…specifically MacBooks. I also noticed that the huge, lit up apple on the outside of the case is always covered up with a sticker. I thought to my self, hey, we make stickers that could do that too, so I thought I would write about it here and let you all know that you too can be cool (or in their case legal) like the Mythb...

Dome Labels – What are they?
From:  pmtvoice.com
Most of the things we sell are fairly well known when mentioned either in word or by picture. Every once in a while it becomes apparent that a particular thing in our product listing is not widely understood. I feel obliged to demystify these as the present themselves, so…this thing is what is known as a Dome Label. What is a Dome Label? The best way to describe it is to say that it is a regular sticker with a thick, sort of dome shaped thick, clear coating. They sorta look like a butto... Read Full Story
We’re so excited, and we just can’t hide it…
From:  pmtvoice.com
I know, the Pointer Sisters weren’t talking about printmything when they wrote and sang their hit song “I’m So Excited”, but we’re excited, and that’s gotta count too, right? I think so. As the previous post indicated, we are in the midst of a complete refacing of our websites. New looks, new technology, and most [...] Read Full Story
Do It Yourself: an inspiration
From:  pmtvoice.com
A large portion of our websites came about mostly because of the idea that you, the internet shopper, are ready, willing and able to design your own stuff. Technology keeps making life simpler and easier. This includes the technology required for creating a simple easy to use online designer for our main products (labels, tags, bumper stickers, ribbon, etc). Over the past few years we have tirelessly maintained and updated our designer technology and have found that the people do indeed want ... Read Full Story
would you follow your congressman/senator?
From:  pmtvoice.com
For us in the 5th district of Ohio, we have a congressman by the name of Bob Latta. We at PrintMyThing (and parent company, CMC Group) have had the benefit of him taking a tour of our facilities, and for me personally, I grew up around the corner from where he lived until recently. He is a fellow runner and a good man. That said, I came across this site [tweetcongress.org] a few days ago and thought, hmm, politicians on twitter/facebook…this cannot be good… After a bit more lookin... Read Full Story

Tools of the Trade
From:  pmtvoice.com
It turns out that being a company that sells a lot via the internet means working with lots and lots…and lots of images. Product images, collages, color swatches, and various other forms of product or display imagery are in no shortage in any e-commerce website. In terms of numbers, let’s just say that it is well into 5 digits. Dealing with these images takes all sorts of forms as some images get resized by some form of thumbnailing and others are made in whatever size they are sp... Read Full Story
If Gift cards are so cool, shouldn’t they be given in the coolest holder?
From:  pmtvoice.com
More than any other thing, gift cards are the single most popular present to give. Every retail store has them, you can get them in all sorts of different denominations ($5, $10, $25, etc.). They have achieved such popularity solely by being very easy to handle. A lot of times you receive them inside some envelope or greeting card for a birthday or christmas, but I want to challenge that idea. Why not put the gift card inside of something that is specifically designed to carry it? We at Print... Read Full Story

Spring 09 - Day 1 - Let’s Celebrate!
From:  pmtvoice.com
Every year on this day there is a certain sense of hope brought about by the promise of warmer weather, sunnier days, and refreshing breezes. This blogger, for one, is greatly affected by seasons & weather. I am much happier on bright sun-shiny days and warm weather. It is often said that March itself comes “In like a lion, out like a lamb” and we in our little corner of this beautiful earth have had our share of those “lion” days. So as a sort of celebration of th... Read Full Story
