Bored Printing Co. and Print Lab Are Closing. Welcome to Blanq Manufacturing.

It’s never easy to walk away from something you built with your own hands. But sometimes, to build what’s next, you have to tear down what’s standing in front of you.

We are officially closing both Bored Printing Co. and The Print Lab. Let us explain.

The Origin Story

A few years ago, we both took a massive, terrifying risk. We drained every dollar of our savings to launch our own separate businesses. The beginnings weren't glamorous. Pam started in a garage with just a couple of manual machines, meticulously building The Print Lab. Cease started in a rugged, no-frills warehouse with two employees and absolutely zero formal experience, building Bored Printing Co. We were figuring out the complexities of production, logistics, and client management completely on the fly.

We were both surviving, both growing, but both hitting our own ceilings.

When we started collaborating, the shift was undeniable. The Print Lab’s design precision combined with Bored Printing’s raw production capability created something that felt entirely new. We realized very quickly that we were drastically stronger working together than we were apart.

The Decision to Merge

We had a choice: keep running two separate companies that constantly overlapped, or burn the ships and build a singular, unstoppable vision. We chose the latter.

We are letting go of two brands that we bled for, brands we built entirely from the ground up, so that we can start from a blank slate.

That is what Blanq Manufacturing represents. It is a new chapter, a single unified direction, and a massive step forward in our capabilities.

A New Standard in Print

The garment industry is notorious for hidden fees, opaque pricing, and rushed, subpar quality. Blanq Manufacturing was built as a direct antidote to that culture. We believe that premium manufacturing shouldn't be a mystery, and it certainly shouldn't be a compromise.

We have completely restructured our operation to cater to four distinct tracks, each with their own specialized workflows, curated blanks, and dedicated machinery:

Corporate: High-end, sophisticated marketing collateral and trade show presence. We supply the garments and finishing techniques that reflect the professionalism of your enterprise.

Streetwear: Heavyweight, architectural silhouettes and retail-ready finishing. We treat every run as a boutique capsule, from woven neck labels to custom polybagging.

Schools: Durable, premium educational graphics and spirit wear that stands up to the rigors of campus life while maintaining a sharp, unified aesthetic.

General Store: A comprehensive print service for local businesses and organizations that demand uncompromising quality, even on standard runs.

What This Means for You

We are still your go-to print shop. We are still producing the high-end premium apparel and streetwear you’ve come to expect. The machines haven't stopped running, and the standards have only gotten higher.

But Blanq is more than just a production house. It’s a collaborative space. We built this facility to be a place where brands can come to create, experiment, and build something deeply meaningful from the ground up. Whether you are a streetwear startup or a corporate account, we now have the unified infrastructure to take your ideas from a blank canvas to a fully realized product.

Thank you to every single person, brand, and business that supported Bored Printing Co. and The Print Lab over the years. Your support gave us the foundation to make this leap.

This isn't the end. This is just the beginning.
