Printing for Local Vendors

We love printing for local businesses. Our business clients are some of the most interesting clients we have met! We recently delivered some print services for Free Parking Studio, a vintage clothing store located in Salt at Kaka’ako. Salt is Honolulu’s epicenter for food, culture, entertainment and events. They host regular flea markets. The next flea market will be on October 14. You can find Free Parking Studio located in front of The Barn in Salt at Kaka’ako. The flea market will have over 20 vendors, including artisan food and sustainable vintage clothing stores. We love supporting local vendors and businesses. Flea markets are an easy way to see numerous vendors at once.  

Printing for Retailers

Our services for Free Parking Studio included a couple hundred fliers and posters to advertise the flea market event in October. We can also offer merchandise catalogues and printing for other business needs. We like working with businesses because we watch them grow from a perspective that most do not get to see. We know when businesses are expanding or launching new products or menus because we get to see the prints before others see them. We know when they are raising prices or running sales because we see the fliers before others see them. We also know when they are hosting more events because we see all the planning that goes into it! This is why we love working with business customers.

Holiday Printing Services

The holidays bring in a high demand for printing cards, letters and invitations. Because of the rush of it all, it seems like most of the printing is done at the last minute or right before the event! The end of the year can be busy for many, and the weekends fill up fast with family events, shopping agendas and Santa events for the keiki.

Print Shop Open Saturdays

Geraldine called us on a Saturday needing to print cards. She needed them that day for her flight to LA the following day. So we asked her to come in with the necessary pictures and things to go inside the card. When she arrived, she realized she had forgotten to bring the picture and also left her phone at home! But we still took care of her! We have guest computers available in the lobby for our customers to use. She used our computers to pull up her email and got the photos to us. While we were working on the layout for the card, she mentioned that she typically goes to another print shop on Saturdays. However, that location recently closed their services on Saturdays. Geraldine found us on Yelp and saw that we are open on the weekends and even closer to home for her.

Holiday Cards

She was really happy with the final product and we’re glad we were able to help her out! She was very happy that she found us and loved the layout of her cards!

Printing Services for Ian with Pest Tech

We’ve taken care of the printing services for Ian with Pest Tech since 2016.  He’s been a loyal client and has been returning to us for all his business printing needs.  We’ll do invoices, announcements, and other documents. 

Ian would always send us emails of feels that he needed to be printed.  We’d have all the files in our email, and would prepare them for him for pick up.  So, we’d only see him when he’d come in to pick up documents. It was an efficient process for him.  

See you soon, Guy!

Since last year, Ian has had a representative come in, Guy, to let us know about their printing services needs.  Instead of emailing us documents, Guy will physically drop by to put requests in.  He’ll come in to drop off a copy of the original document and tells us the specifications, quantity, etc.  We’ve seen him a lot recently, especially on Saturdays.  We reminded him that he can email us instead of physically stopping by, to help save him time!  We’ve saved their past forms on file if they need to make future copies of the same document.  Guy said he prefers to hand them to us though, it lets him get out of the office for a little bit!

Printing for Moto

Moto has been printing with us for quite some time now.  We’ve been printing his business cards for several years. Earlier this month he visited the shop to adjust his layout and get more cards printing. We’ll also print other things for him and his business.  Like we’ve said before, we love working for small business owners.  

Printing for Moto’s Scuba Shop

Moto owns a scuba shop, Sunshine Scuba.  However, he’s also a magician on the side!  He does private shows for parties and small groups.  Our recent print job for him were business cards to publicize his magician business!  

Catching up with Moto

He usually doesn’t stop by the shop until it’s time to pick up his completed print jobs.  He’s a busy person. He’ll typically just call or email us when he needs something to be done. But when he does come in, we love catching up and chatting with him!  His English isn’t superb but he’s very sweet and is patient with understanding us. The last time he visited the Dilly Print Shop, we all talked about how much we love country music!

Dilly Print Shop for Pageants

The dilly print shop is proud to say that we have been doing the printing for two different beauty pageants in the past month! We’ve printed booklets for the Miss Philippines Hawaii and Miss Central Oahu & Miss Leeward.   

Miss Philippines Pageant

Ricky manages the print jobs for Phoenix Security but designs booklets for the Miss Philippines Hawaii pageant on the side. We were happy to print these booklets for him as the pageant is an annual scholarship event that’s a popular one in Hawaii!

Miss Central Oahu & Miss Leeward pageants

For the Miss Central Oahu & Miss Leeward pageants, Alvin (a coordinator for the pageants,) asked us to print booklets for him last year and returned to have us print the booklets for this year as well.

Dilly print shop for the Local Community

Pageants highlight the beauty of local communities, and they can be very fruitful for its’ participants as there are scholarships available for certain pageant winners. We’re happy to provide print services for the community with these events.
