SHOP VLOG | 16 Hours at Carpy’s: Squirrels, Drag Racing & Too Many Shirts[ VIDEO]

Yeah, it got weird. But also productive. It started with Zane Harvey rolling up. His freshly wrapped UMP Modified made a stop at the shop for everyone to check out and yeah, it looked mean. We slapped a Carpy’s decal on Karen new ride while we were at it, then jumped into full-on production mode.Continue reading “SHOP VLOG | 16 Hours at Carpy’s: Squirrels, Drag Racing & Too Many Shirts[ VIDEO]”

A day inside our Custom Print Shop 5/15/2025

Inside the Shop: Where the Magic (and the Mayhem) Happens at Carpy’s

If you’ve ever wondered what actually goes on behind the scenes at Carpy’s Print Company… you’re not alone. Turns out, it’s a mix of controlled chaos, caffeine, ink stains, and a whole lot of hustle. That’s exactly why we started a new video series and playlist called Inside the Shop — to give you a raw, unfiltered look at what goes into the day-to-day grind of screen printing, embroidery, signage, and vehicle wraps.

Spoiler alert: It’s not always pretty. But it is pretty fun to watch.

From early morning shirt setups to those classic “wait, where’s that order?!” moments, this series dives into the real side of running a print shop. You’ll see Seth running the press in a sleeveless shirt (always), Earl flying through embroidery orders, Moe pretending not to be grumpy while lining up graphics, and the rest of the crew doing everything from installs to packing orders to chasing UPS down the driveway.

Why We’re Doing It
We wanted to create something more than just polished photos of finished projects (although those are cool, too). Inside the Shop is about showing the process. The long days, the small wins, the screw-ups, the saves — and all the weird things that happen in between. It’s the kind of stuff you can’t fake — and we thought it deserved a spotlight.

So if you’re into behind-the-scenes content, love seeing custom merch come to life, or just want to watch a crew of goofballs somehow keep things running smoothly, this playlist is for you.

Field Trip Fun at Carpy’s

Hey friends! We had a blast recently when students from the local Media Communications program stopped by for a hands-on field trip at Carpy’s. It’s one thing to learn about color separations and graphic design in Adobe Illustrator in class, but seeing it all come together in real production? That’s next level! This year’s groupContinue reading “Field Trip Fun at Carpy’s”
