About Us
Founded in 1975 by Lee Cassel, our company began its journey in McLean Bowling Center in McLean, Virginia, under the name "Cassel's Pro Shop." With just one employee, we initially specialized in selling awards and bowling equipment. Fun fact! Lee was also a professional bowler.
The 1980s marked a significant milestone as we introduced our first computerized engraving machines, a technology we proudly continue to use today. This innovation set the stage for our future growth and diversification.
In the mid-1990s, we expanded our services to include screen printing and embroidery, broadening our offerings to meet the evolving needs of our customers. The turn of the millennium saw another leap forward with the acquisition of our first laser engraver in late 2000.
Today, we boast a wide array of advanced equipment and services, including:
- Screen Printing: With two automatic and four manual screen printing presses, we handle both large and small orders efficiently, delivering high-quality prints on apparel and other items.
- Embroidery: Our four embroidery machines offer detailed and durable stitching, perfect for custom logos and designs on clothing, hats, and bags.
- DTF (Direct to Film) and Vinyl Cutting: These services provide versatile and durable printing options for custom designs on a wide range of materials.
- Laser and Diamond Engraving: Utilizing state-of-the-art laser and diamond engravers, we provide precise and intricate engraving on a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, glass, acrylic, and more. We can also engrave on bottles, glasses, and other odd-shaped items.
- Sublimation: Our sublimation services allow for vibrant, full-color printing on items such as plaques, name tags, and gift items, ensuring personalized and high-quality results.
