The University of St. Thomas’ in-plant may be modest in size, but Manager Amy Garcia delivers an impressive range of cost-saving services to the Houston campus. From business cards, letterhead, envelopes, and poster boards to wide-format outdoor banners, nameplate and coffee mug engraving, sublimation pieces, and embroidered uniforms, the shop has brought work back in-house and cut costs dramatically.

This September, Garcia will head to PRINTING United Expo to seek equipment that can streamline labor-intensive tasks such as banner hemming and explore options like die cutting and foiling to further expand her shop’s capabilities and impact.
