We would like to thank all of the wonderful families that chose to trust NC Tees with their 2010 Family Reunion screen printed and embroidered apparel. We have thoroughly enjoyed the stories of your heritage that you all have chosen to share with us over the past couple of months. As usual, lots of t-shirts and hats. But we will remember 2010 as the season of the printed “Cinch Bag”. What a perfect gift and useful reunion giveaway. Here’s to a safe and healthy remainder of 2010 and we look forward to seeing you next season! Thank you again. (Screen Printing and Embroidery)

NC Tees’ Role in the Oil Spill Cleanup

Albeit an indirect role, NC Tees will play a part in the Gulf oil spill cleanup along the shorelines and beaches. We have teamed with Ensolve Biosystems, maker of the PetroLiminator, an MEPC 107(49) approved biomechanical oil water separator, in the label printing production of the ShoreClean Bags and Booms. After a week of ink testing, we have determined that only one high viscosity ink combined with a light adhesion promoter could effectively be applied to the untreated polypropylene substrate.

ShoreClean is a safe and natural solution for effectively cleaning oil spill contamination from coastal regions. When ShoreClean bags or booms are properly implemented, wave action releases oil-degrading microbes and nutrients to stimulate oil degradation in the environment. ShoreClean Booms contain a natural oleophilic and hydrophobic sorbent capable of absorbing 8 times their weight in oil.

“This biotechnology approach was proven effective in combating the Exxon Valdez oil spill as supported by EPA and US Coast Guard studies, and has been further enhanced by EnSolve in creating the ShoreClean product.”

It is our understanding that when coastal cities and Municipalities deploy the bags at the high tide mark, a contaminated beach can be cleared of the oil debris in just a few short days.

Susan G. Komen Race For the Cure

Each and every year we design, layout, produce screens, print, fold and bag t shirts for numerous teams and families supporting their loved ones in the Susan G. Komen “Annual Race For the Cure” in Raleigh, NC.

At every stage of production, we can’t help but to get a clear mental picture all of these teams together who have either lost someone to Breast Cancer or a family supporting another with the struggle. It’s a tough reality check in numbers.

We proudly support the Raleigh NC Chapter of the Susan G. Komen For the Cure. The discounts we offer the teams just leave us wishing we could do even more. Perhaps next year we will look into removing the discounts and donating a larger portion of the proceeds to the cause. Good luck to all of this year’s participants and God Bless the families and their supporters.

Online Registration for the Raleigh, NC Walk ends on June 10th at midnight.
You can register for the walk online here. More than 20,000 people in our own backyard were served with funds from last year’s Race. It is so much more than a 5K walk. It’s our Raleigh community coming together to end breast cancer forever.
