Holiday Cards: 'Tis the Season to Shop & Print Local

    

TPI Solutions Ink Shop Local, Print Local - Waltham, MAThe holidays are in full swing here at TPI Solutions Ink. We've been busy printing all kinds of cards with greetings and wishes for the season.  We always make it a point to create a completely unique company card, and encourage all of you to do the same. Have you ordered your holiday cards yet? No doubt you've been plastered with ads from many of those big online card companies having a sale. Please consider using a small local business rather than an online giant for your Christmas or Hanukkah cards this year. Our message: shop local, print local.  At TPI we love working with other small businesses and individuals in the area. If you have an idea for your holiday card we can make it happen. We can design it, print it and even mail it if you so desire!
