V Market Fort Worth

V Market Live Printing

V Market is a pop up vegan marketplace, offering vegan foods, drinks, and local goods. Trust got to be a part of the most recent iteration at Shipping and Receiving on June 9th. Matt and Justin brought our Live Printing setup, met some great people, and printed awesome limited edition shirts with proceeds going to the families of victims of recent violence. Live Printing is such a cool way to make an impact at an event and give people something great to remember it by (and we love getting out and making new friends).

El Cuarto

I’ve been at Trust for a while, and until a few months ago all I’ve known is our two trusty ten-color presses. Trust was a two-press shop for 5 and a half years—which is a huge chunk of our history—until last November when we added Press 3. It has barely been half a year since then and amazingly, it is already time to grow again…

Press 4
Press 4 effectively doubles our output potential from September of 2015. This is certainly a sign of our exciting growth, and also a sign that we are pushing each press and press team to the point where it has no more room for new work.

It might go without saying, but presses don’t run themselves and the same person that handled finishing for two presses won’t be able to handle four presses alone. And that means it’s time for some more fresh faces!

Trust Opportunities

We are looking to add several new members to our production team to handle the demands of four presses spinning every day. Our last round of hires went beautifully. Each person has added something new and special to our team. We are so excited to continue to grow and build our Trust Family.

Trust Opportunities

Available Positions:

Quality Control Specialist: Responsible for inspecting, counting, stacking, bundling, and boxing completed garments.

Press Operator:  Part of a two man team responsible for setting up prints, operating our fantastic presses, and loading and unloading garments with precision.

Post-Production, Finishing: Post-Production takes over as soon as garments are sent down the dryer, performing quality control and ensuring the garments are packaged and delivered to the customer. Finishing is specifically responsible for our “Retail-Ready” services, which include folding, bagging, barcoding, hang-tagging, and other special requests.

Trust is so much more about the team than about our specific positions. Any task done with friends for a common goal can be fun and fulfilling. If you or someone you know is interested in being a part of our team, head to trustprintshop.com/opportunity for more information.

Melt Ice Creams — Circle Logo Yellow

2 Color HSA on Canvas 3650 – Black Slub

This month we have a great print for our good friends at Melt Ice Creams! Melt serves our favorite ice cream in town, rolling out exciting and interesting flavors every month along with great classics. Their brand new location just opened up at the corner of Henderson and Magnolia, we highly recommend giving them a visit.

Print of the Month

This is a great, simple design with an awesome hand-drawn vibe. Melt asked us for the brightest yellow we could come up with and we are very excited with the results. The print is HSA ink on an awesome Canvas t-shirt. The HSA gives us a smooth silky print without sacrificing any of the coverage or brightness.

Jesse is our Creative Director. He splits his time between the Art Department and Creative duties, looking to innovate and push the company in both areas (unless he overslept.)
