The Challenge
WNET, PBS’s flagship station in New York and widely known as THIRTEEN, faced a challenge familiar to many organizations: the need for custom apparel on a tight timeline. With a significant public event approaching, they required 100 custom-printed t-shirts for staff and volunteers.
The requirements were precise and critical:
- Shirts had to feature a 2-color imprint on the front and a 1-color imprint on the back.
- Sizing needed to cover Small through 3XL to ensure inclusivity.
- Delivery had to be direct to WNET’s Manhattan office with no room for error.
For PBS | THIRTEEN, branded apparel is more than a uniform. It reinforces visibility, professionalism, and trust within the community. Missing the deadline would have undermined the event’s impact and the PBS brand presence.
The Solution
NY Rush Shirts activated its Super Rush 3-Day Service to guarantee delivery under pressure. Every step of the process was planned for precision:
✓ Fast Approvals: Vector artwork was provided quickly, and mockups were approved without delay.
✓ Efficient Screen Printing: The order was prioritized in the rush queue to ensure uninterrupted production.
✓ Accurate Branding: The front featured White underbase, PMS 485C Red, and Black, while the back carried a bold single-color Black imprint.
✓ Sizing Precision: Shirts were distributed across S–3XL, with clear communication about size upcharges.
✓ Quality Control: Each piece was inspected to confirm imprint placement, color consistency, and finish.
✓ Direct Delivery: The entire order was packaged by size and delivered straight to WNET’s office, ready for event use.
The Customer Journey
The client experience followed a straightforward, stress-free path:
- Order confirmed and artwork submitted.
- Mockups approved and production scheduled.
- Shirts printed, inspected, and boxed by size.
- Final delivery to WNET’s Manhattan office.
