Happy New Year, You can feel the excitement in the air around the shop right now. Everything is caught up, were working on putting some new systems in place and we welcomed a great new printer to our team. Luxe Riot also installed a folding and bagging machine over the holiday break. Yes, everyone is fighting over who gets to fold now. It’s great. This will help us handle all the packaging for 2013; it was one of our biggest areas of growth for 2012. It’s a tough area to fill all the time and this will ease up on any bottlenecks. A few of us just returned from the ISS Screen Printing show down in Long Beach, CA. All the vendors and suppliers for our industry showcase all their new products available for 2013. The next issue of our periodical will be jam packed with all those new offerings so you can see what’s out here for the coming year. The show was four days full of seminars, connecting with our vendors, seeing old friends and the summertime weather was just a great bonus. What a great way to kickoff 2013. The periodical will be a big part of 2013 for us at Luxe Riot. It’s such a great way for us to show you what is out there from apparel to unique trinkets. Also to show you processes you might not be familiar with or even knew that we could help you with. Most importantly it’s a way for us to stay connected with all of our customers. We appreciate all of you and want to help you in any way possible. I hope this continues to be a useful tool for you throughout the year. So let’s bring in 2013. May it be a wildly successful year for you? Full of health, happiness and great times, Thanks for everything, Eric Green
2013
