It's 2004. Presstime wasn’t even close to conceptualized yet but the gears of destiny were already starting to turn. At the time, Owner / Operator, Ricky Pridmore was in a band, playing at shows and handling the management(ish) side. This included booking tours, making shirt designs and arranging printers for merchandise. One sunny afternoon, Ricky walked into a sweaty print shop to pick up T’s for the band and the smell, grime and look of fear in the printer's eye hit him hard with the printing bug. Ricky had been running a button company for the last few years and wanted to expand his product repertoire. So, in 2009 with basically zero of knowledge, a small loan and truck load of will, Presstime was finally born. PTD was originally planning to focus on designs and silk screened gig posters but it was quickly realized that our equipment wasn't poster friendly, it was T shirt friendly! Using ethics gathered from the music scene and not being afraid to tug on a heart string here and there, Presstime began to build its own little roster of clients.
Not before long, PTD started to pick up steam and needed more people power. Tone Ventresca, Ricky’s right hand man, band mate and top notch designer was brought aboard. As the company grew, so did it's warehouse space, equipment, clients and perhaps most importantly, the PTD family. One by one, friends as close as brothers and sisters began to join the team. Band mates, brothers, wives, moms, aunts, cousins of friends, you name it. When the team started to take shape is when Presstime started to hone in on what was unique about itself. Quality, Trust and Approachability.
