Mustache ClipartOver the past year we have added thousands of new high-quality images & artwork to our design lab offering, including a large amount from world-renowned CSA Images.

One of the more recent additions to the catalog has been mustaches! Turns out we had a lot of customers searching for “mustaches” in our design lab over the year, but we weren’t putting our best foot ‘stache forward – as most were on faces, not free floating. So with the help of our in-house graphics team, we added 20+ solo stache images (as you can see to the right).

The mustaches are a big hit. They have been widely used on wedding and bachelor party t-shirts and koozies. Plus, with November being the unofficial month of the mustache, aka Movember, our timing couldn’t have been more serendipitous. It’s mustaches as far as the eyes can see!

For those not familiar, Movember, is a charity effort to raise money for prostate and testicular cancer research, with a mustachioed twist. Participants are encouraged to grow and sport a mustache from Nov. 1 to Nov 30. Typically, there are fundraising events held throughout November, until the 30th, when “MoBros” show off their full-grown mustaches in all their glory at Movember parties & galas around the world. Some of our very own Inkers have embraced the Movember initiative, and for the last 2 years, they’ve raised several thousands of dollars for the cause.

So, if you’re in the market for custom t-shirts, hoodies, or any of the hundreds of other custom products we offer (and want to add a unique mustache to them) we’ve got your back ‘stache!

As always, we welcome suggestions for a type of mustache you’d like added to the collection, or have an opinion about our newly added artwork, please list them in the comments section, or better yet, you can link to an image of something you’d like added as well.

Tysons Corner, VA – September 6, 2012Unite Against Bullying – CustomInk, the “design online” custom t-shirt company, today announced the launch of its annual Be Good to Each Other campaign to stop bullying. Coinciding with the back-to-school season and October’s National Bullying Prevention month, the campaign encourages student groups and others to take a stand for kindness and tolerance by designing and wearing custom bullying prevention t-shirts. All profits from the sale of shirts will benefit CustomInk’s non-profit partner — PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center, which unites, engages and educates communities nationwide to address bullying through its resources. The Be Good to Each Other campaign is an effort of the CustomInk Three Hearts Initiative, the company’s charitable giving and public service arm, which strives to use the power of custom t-shirts to do good.

“This campaign is important to us because we believe in the Golden Rule. CustomInk tries to treat everyone with compassion and respect and encourages others – especially kids- to be good to each other,” commented CustomInk Co-founder and President Marc Katz.  “Custom t-shirts have the power to unite people in positive ways, and creating and wearing bullying prevention designs is a great way to promote kindness and tolerance.”

This is the second year CustomInk will undertake the Be Good to Each Other campaign.  In its first year, the effort united 4,000 people against bullying through custom t-shirts and raised thousands of dollars for the bullying prevention programs of CustomInk’s nonprofit partner.

Mud Run T-Shirt DesignOver the past five years, the popularity of “mud runs” — cross country races with obstacles — has exploded. It’s estimated that more than one million people have participated in this new genre of adventure sport. The increasing popularity of the sport has led us to create special resources just for mud runners to make their own mud run uniform t-shirts, or “mud duds” (available at www.customink.com/mudrun).

“Mud runners across the country are training and getting ‘down and dirty’ with their friends and family. CustomInk t-shirts have the power to unite them into a team for the big day,” commented Marc Katz, CustomInk’s president and co-founder. “Completing one of these races is an achievement to be commemorated, and a mud-stained, custom t-shirt makes the perfect trophy!”
