Why Businesses Choose a Local Print Shop
When businesses need printing, it’s rarely just one thing. A new truck gets added to the fleet. Employees need branded shirts. A banner is required for an event or job site. Over time, those needs stack up.
That’s where working with a local print shop makes a real difference.
Instead of juggling multiple vendors, timelines, and design files, many businesses choose to keep everything under one roof. At Core Prints, we work with clients who rely on us for vehicle wraps, banners, apparel, and ongoing print needs, all while keeping their branding consistent and their process simple.
Print Needs Are Rarely “One and Done”
Online print shops often focus on single transactions. Order a banner here. Upload a shirt design there. Hope the colors match. But real businesses don’t operate that way.
Service companies, contractors, and growing teams need:
Vehicles that look professional and recognizable
Apparel that represents their brand on job sites
Signage that supports marketing, events, or daily operations
A partner who understands how everything works together
That’s why many businesses turn to a local print shop. Don’t just sell me a product. Support me as I continue to grow.
BIM: Coordinating Fleet Graphics and Branded Apparel
For service-based businesses like BIM, visibility matters. Their vehicles are on the road every day, acting as moving billboards across the region. Consistency across a fleet helps customers recognize the brand quickly and builds trust before the first phone call is even made.
BIM worked with Core Prints on:
Multiple vehicle wraps to maintain a unified fleet appearance
Branded shirts for their team to wear on-site and in the field
By working with a local print shop, BIM was able to keep colors, logos, and messaging consistent across every touchpoint. When new vehicles or apparel are needed, everything is already aligned, making updates fast and stress-free.

OHA: Supporting Visibility With Signage and Graphics
Not every print need lives on a vehicle or a t-shirt. For organizations like OHA, signage plays a critical role in communication, visibility, and professionalism.
Working with a local print shop allows you to:
Get guidance on sizing, materials, and placement
Make sure the designs translate correctly from screen to print
Meet deadlines without sacrificing quality
Instead of guessing or reordering due to mistakes, OHA had a partner who could walk them through the process and deliver a reliable finished product.
A coordinated fleet wrap project completed by a local print shop helps OHA stay recognizable across every service vehicle on the road.Banners printed by a local print shop give organizations like OHA a clear, professional way to share information and stay visible.
For Custom Iron Railings, this wasn’t their first vehicle wrap. It was a refresh.
After nearly 10 years, their original wrap was due for an update. Instead of starting over with a new vendor, they returned to Core Prints to refresh the design and bring their branding up to date while keeping the recognition they had already built.
As part of the refresh, Core Prints handled:
A newly updated vehicle wrap that modernized the look while staying true to the brand
Branded shirts, including personalized name details, to give their team a polished and professional presence on job sites
This kind of long-term relationship is one of the biggest advantages of working with a local print shop. When a business returns years later, we already understand their brand, their audience, and how their materials are used in the real world.
The result is a smoother process, fewer revisions, and a finished product that feels like an evolution, not a reset.
