Trail Ridge Printing

Our Story

We are Trail Ridge Printing, a small family-run business based in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Our passion is helping individuals and organizations bring their unique visions to life through custom apparel. We believe that a well-designed t-shirt is more than just a piece of clothing; it's a powerful tool for storytelling, building community, and expressing identity. Our journey began in 2017 when we seized the opportunity to become the proud owners of Trail Ridge Printing. Driven by a desire to be more deeply involved in our community and to leverage our combined expertise in fundraising, marketing, retail, and design, we saw this venture as a chance to make a positive impact.

Our connection to Estes Park, Colorado, where we operate our business, runs deep. Having relocated here in 2013, we quickly fell in love with the vibrant local scene and the entrepreneurial spirit that permeates the town. We recognized the unique challenges faced by small businesses in our area and saw Trail Ridge Printing as a platform to offer our support and expertise. Building upon the legacy established by the previous owners, Tim Buck and Ron Shumate, who possessed over 50 years of combined printing experience, we are committed to exceeding the high standards of quality and customer service they set.

Our Commitment to Quality and Sustainability

At Trail Ridge Printing, we believe in crafting apparel that is both beautiful and ethically produced. We operate as a two-person team, prioritizing close attention to detail and environmentally conscious practices whenever possible. Our commitment to quality extends beyond the printing process. We source high-quality materials and offer a range of garment options to suit diverse needs and budgets.

We actively promote sustainable practices by utilizing water-based inks, opting for eco-friendly cleaning agents, and embracing hand printing techniques to minimize our environmental impact. We believe that creating lasting value for our clients and our planet go hand in hand.
