Ribbon Cutting For Pinstripe Printing

The Greater Riverview Chamber of Commerce (GRCC) recently helped Han Boutista of Pinstripe Printing celebrate the opening of his new shop with a ribbon cutting on August 29.

Boutista, a retired New York fireman, quickly outgrew his first printing location in Apollo Beach and has now moved to a much larger facility on Causeway Blvd. just west of US Hwy. 41. He has plenty of room for all of the different types of equipment he has to serve his clients’ needs. He can produce hundreds of printed shirts in less than a day. In addition to the screen printing process, he also has a sublimation printer and an embroidery system.

Whether you are in the need of a couple nice embroidered shirts for your staff or a couple of hundred screen printed shirts for your school, Pinstripe Printing is waiting to provide you a quote.
