At teelaunch, we’re not just another faceless corporation in the industry. We’re a family-owned business that joined forces with District Photo, another family-owned enterprise. This partnership has strengthened our roots and reinforced our commitment to maintaining a personal touch in everything we do.

When you hear “family-owned business,” you might picture a small, local operation. But at teelaunch, we’re proof that family ownership and global scale aren’t mutually exclusive. Through our partnership with District Photo, we’ve achieved something remarkable in the business world: maintaining the values and personal touch of a family-owned company while operating on a truly global scale.

District Photo’s journey from a family business to a printing powerhouse is a testament to the power of vision, hard work, and unwavering commitment to quality. Today, our operation spans six state-of-the-art factories strategically located across the globe – three in the United States, one in the United Kingdom, one in the European Union, and one in Australia. This global presence allows us to serve customers efficiently across multiple continents, reducing shipping times and costs.

But the true measure of our scale? We print over a billion items each year. That’s right – billion with a ‘b’. This volume puts us in a league of our own, surpassing most of our competitors in the industry. It’s a scale that provides us with unparalleled efficiencies, buying power, and expertise.

Yet, despite this massive scale, we’ve never lost sight of our roots. We remain a bootstrapped company, having grown through reinvestment and smart business practices rather than outside investors. This means we answer to our customers and our principles, not to shareholders or venture capitalists.

So when you choose teelaunch, you’re not choosing between the personal touch of a family business and the capabilities of a global corporation. You’re getting both. You’re partnering with a company that has the reach, resources, and capacity to handle orders of any size, anywhere in the world – all while maintaining the values, flexibility, and customer-first approach that only a family-owned business can offer.

In short, we’re big enough to deliver on a global scale, yet personal enough to care about every single order. That’s the teelaunch difference.

Our Purpose: People Over Profits

While many companies focus solely on pleasing shareholders and maximizing profits, our priorities are different. The heart of our business beats for our people – providing jobs for Andy, Nick, and Kristie, ensuring there are diapers for our nephews, and even treats for our beloved dogs. Our success is measured not by stock prices, but by the well-being of our employees and the stability we can provide for our friends and families.

A Different Approach

Unlike our competitors, we’re not driven by the pressure to satisfy external shareholders. Instead, our focus is on creating a sustainable livelihood for our employees and fostering a supportive work environment. This approach allows us to make decisions that prioritize long-term stability and the quality of life for our team members, rather than short-term gains.

By choosing teelaunch, you’re not just selecting a service provider; you’re supporting a business that values its people and puts families first. Our success is intertwined with the success and happiness of our employees, making us uniquely positioned to provide personalized, caring service to our customers.
