It's been a busy month here.  We are currently gearing up to print merchandise for a few upcoming tours and the first bout for Kingston's first Roller Derby team, the Kingston Derby Girls.   We are printing merchandise for sale at their booth, as well as their team shirts for their first match.   We are very excited about this project, and are even more excited to attend the event.   If you are on facebook, and from Kingston or the area, check out their event BACK TO CRUEL

-Kingston locals PS I LOVE YOU are hearing out on the road for well over a month, first in the USA with the Japandroids and then in Canada with Diamond Rings.  Check them out, and more importantly, check out their rad selection of merchandise; posters, stickers, t-shirts and record bags!   Check them out online and in your local venue this summer: http://www.myspace.com/psiloveyouband

-We also printed the 12" LP covers for PS I Love You's debut full length on PaperBag Records in Toronto Canada.    We are also printing promo shirts and record bands for PBR, which we are very excited about.

-Toronto band Structures will be heading out on the road (again!) for a tour in October, more details will follow soon!

Lots of great stuff happening here over the last updateless month. 

-Check out our friends STRUCTURES on tour as we speak, as part of the Holly Springs Disaster Farewell tour.  You can check them out online at http://www.myspace.com/wearestructures

-We are right in the middle of printing the 12" record covers for local Kingston indie-rock-guitar and drums shredders PS I LOVE YOU, who just got signed to PaperBag Records in Toronto.  Check out the hype on http://www.pitchfork.com or http://www.paperbagrecords.com This LP comes on the heels of the two great 7"s  "Starfield" on Thing Itself Records and a split with Toronto's Dimond Rings on Hype Lighter Records; we printed both the covers for these records (check the poster section soon for prices on media packaging)  Make sure you check out the LP when it drops, and go see PS I LOVE YOU when they are in your town, which given their upcoming tours, will probably be soon.

-IRONCLAD 2011 CALENDAR PROJECT:  Last year we decided to work all night, for many many days to produce a calendar of local and regional artists.  Each month featured a 3 colour screen print by one of 12 different artists.  We are currently selecting the artists for this yearsw calendar, and we'll post more info as it becomes available.

-So the HST has kicked in, which means everyone now has to pay the 13% tax on everything.   Not our choice . . . sorry.

-We want to expand our Artist Management Printing Services, to more clients this year.   If you are a band manager or Canadian tour booker, then send us an email inquiring about our services to you.  We have worked with many management companies and tour bookers to make sure that their bands get the merchandise they need for the shows they are playing.  Please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
