A Whirlwind Day at Sunny Side Ink: From Sketches to Stitches

Morning: Designing Dreams

As I walk into the bustling workshop of Sunny Side Ink, the smell of fresh ink and the hum of machines greet me. My day starts with a client meeting to discuss a new custom screen printing project for a local business in Las Vegas. We brainstorm ideas, sketch out designs, and select the perfect color palette that will make their logo pop on t-shirts and hoodies.

Mid-Morning: Prepping for Production

With the design approved, I head to the production floor. Our team is already busy setting up screens for today’s orders. I join in, carefully aligning stencils and mixing inks for an order of 500 shirts for a Summerlin youth sports league. The precision required in this step is crucial for achieving the crisp, vibrant results our clients expect.

Lunchtime: Quick Bite and Client Call

During my lunch break, I take a call from a Paradise-based event planner inquiring about our on-site screen printing services for an upcoming festival. I explain how we can bring our mobile setup to their venue, allowing attendees to watch their custom designs come to life in real-time.

Afternoon: Embroidery Excellence

Post-lunch, I switch gears to focus on our custom embroidery services. A high-end golf resort in Summerlin has ordered a batch of personalized polo shirts for their staff. I program the embroidery machines, select threads, and monitor the first few pieces to ensure the stitching is perfect.

Late Afternoon: Quality Control and Dispatch

As the day winds down, I perform quality checks on completed orders. Each item is inspected for color accuracy, print clarity, and overall finish. Once approved, I prepare the shipments for dispatch, ensuring each package is correctly labeled and ready for our delivery team.

End of Day: Planning for Tomorrow

Before heading home, I review tomorrow’s schedule:

  • A consultation for a large apparel printing order for a Las Vegas convention
  • Setting up for an on-site printing event at a local school in Paradise
  • Training a new team member on our advanced embroidery techniques

As I lock up the shop, I feel a sense of pride in the creativity and craftsmanship that goes into every Sunny Side Ink product. Tomorrow promises new challenges and opportunities to bring our clients’ visions to life through the art of custom printing and embroidery.
