Please Welcome a New Sponsor VGKids Printing

Please welcome a new sponsor to Inside The Rock Poster Frame, VGKids !!!

VGKids is a print shop located in Ypsilanti, Michigan that started off as something complete different but has now become one of the top printers in the country. Printing posters for artists like Godmachine, Brian Ewing, The Silent Giants, Shag and many others. Plus they also print shirts, stickers, buttons, CD/LP packaging and banners; basically if you want your name on something they can do it.

A little history of VGKids as told by the founder James Marks

The story of VGKids begins in 1997, when I opened an all-vegan natural food store in the poetically unlikely Pontiac, Michigan. 17 years old and using a small inheritance set aside for college, "The Vegetarian Grocer," sold snacks and groceries in the front, distributed records and zines in the back, and hosted punk shows in the basement.

The folks that volunteered and hung out at VG became known as VG Kids. We bought www.vgkids.com as an umbrella for all of the various projects people were working on. Good-hearted enterprises including bands, record labels, book publishing, body piercing jewelry, an attempt at a Food Not Bombs chapter, and so much more.

In 1999, the grocery store closed due to a cash shortage, and VGKids was reborn with a strictly screen printing ethos in Ypsilanti, MI. Things started slowly, but after 2 years, with quality standards on the rise and word of mouth traveling quickly, VGKids stabilized as a viable indie business. To meet increasing demands, DIY gear was slowly replaced with special purpose, industrial screen printing equipment. The deep knowledge of the process gained from those years of "doing it ourselves" helped endlessly during the transition into a full-service merchandising company.

The theme that ties all of these events together comes down to our basic moral code. We believe in doing the right thing, simply because its the right thing to do. It means our clients get treated like the friends they are, we work diligently to make our products as environmentally sound as possible, and pay an above average wage to our employees.

 Its what makes VGKids more than a batch of t-shirts or a run of stickers. More than the poster for your upcoming show or a record jacket for a new project. VGKids is a collection of motivated, forward thinking people blurring the lines between employee and volunteer, hobbyist and professional, friend and family-- all of us working together for each of us to be as successful as we possibly can.
