Business name

[Sparkie]

I need help before my brain explodes.

My boss is ready to retire at the end of this year and I will be taking over the business. Due to legal issues, I will be changing the name, which is not an easy task. I have been at this for nearly a month and now it's time to get some feedback from my friends here.

The business is screen printing onto various items such as t-shirts, hats, sweats, mugs, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Here are some of the names I have so far. Like them or hate them, give me your thoughts. Feel free to add some of your own.


Expressive Imprints
Puttin' on the Ink
Ink-n-Go
Choice One Imprints
Blue Rock Imprints
Imprint Advantage
Izon Imprints
First Impression Screen Printing
Star Imprints
Top Dog Screen Printing
Ink Positive
Positive Inking

Ink it!

You think it, we ink it!

[Fangbeast]

Star Imprints

You'll see stars when we imprint you!

-------------------------------------------

Boulder prints.

Just like a boulder, we'll impress you!! (And we're lighter!)

-------------------------------------------

Expressive Imprints

We'll express your imprints!

-------------------------------------------

Steaming imprints

Like srod's underpants, we'll steam the opposition with our imprints!

[PureLust]

Think Ink !

or

In(k)redible Imprints . . . or . . . Inkredible Imprints

[Little John]

Expressive Imprints

I like that.

Other ideas:

• Pretty Printing
• General Purpose Printing
  "We print everything onto anything."
• Exceptional Printing
  "We print everything except of bank bills."

Several years ago, I had many discussions with friends of mine about a name for their business. I think an important point is to consider for any name, whether you would still like it after 10 years.

Regards, Little John

Expressive Imprints.

Wishing you great success in the "new" business. No one deserves it more.

cheers

[eesau]

Ink Positive sounds good!

Or maybe Ink Cadillac

[srod]

How about stINKy inky? Sounds good to me!

Even better, kINKy inky!

Or add some coffee facilities for your customers and then it could be Ink and Drink or 'Drink while you ink!'

Or even better, I think I'll just shut my mouth!

In the list of possible names you outlined above, Expressive Imprints is by far the best I reckon.

Why just one name?

If the businesss a highstreet walk in, print & go type operation, then Something like "Imprint Express" or "Print & Go" (I think I saw on your list)

If you expect to do printing for other businesses, promotional stuff, then another name may be better, maybe "Custom Print Solutions" (I know cheesy)

If you're going to do printing via the web, then a website like "www.t-shirts-R-us.co.uk" (or go for a .com if you'll print and post internationally)

Incidentally sparkie, this is interesting to me cos I run a Swing Dance class and we have a little performance team - it would be nice to get some team T-Shirts / shirts / bowling shirts printed up - maybe up to about a dozen...

BTW - I like CustomInkExpress.com / .co.uk

[Baldrick]

Sparkink maybe.....

Ya Good Ol' Inkee

Ink-O-Rama

[Sparkie]

Expressive Imprints was one of the first names that came to me way back when I started this venture. Ink-n-Go is also a favorite but I'm afraid it gives a hint that we are an quick _in and out_ type of operation when in reality we have a 10 day turnaround time. thInk Positive/Positive thInking came to me yesterday and I'm still running them through my head.

You Think It, We Ink It was high on my list at the beginning but I was advised it may not be a good fit. We have the right too refuse any job we feel may be offensive and _You Think-it, We Ink-it_ could be a little misleading.

Keep'em coming folks...(well except maybe for srod who should/could go back to turning his thoughts into code. jk)

Wishing you great success in the "new" business. No one deserves it more

Thank you rsts.

Good Luck

Thank you RASHAD.
