What is Long Beach, California, known for? Sure, the Queen Mary is docked there. But it’s also where rapper, actor and producer Snoop Dogg hails from! It should come as no surprise then that when brain storming ideas for the Ink Kitchen’s live poster printing station at the 2025 Long Beach Impressions show, co-founder Pam Ikegami found herself blurting out “Snoop Dogg!” as a possible subject. The result is a great product piece of art helping raise money for an equally great cause.

End of Year 2024-2025 decorated apparel industry

A Look Ahead to Apparel Decorating in 2025

Looking back over the past 12 months, the first thing that comes to mind is how both the economy as a whole and the decorated-apparel industry, in particular, have continued to thrive. And both look to keep on doing so in the year to come. Granted there have been some problems on the blank-apparel side of the equation. But elsewhere, the industry has been doing just fine, with technological advances continuing to be made across the board and strong sales, on both the commercial and retail sides of the equation.
