The mission of Real Thread is to become the nations leader in quality waterbase textile printing while protecting God's glorious creation. We strive to develop lasting relationships with our clients through team members who serve in the lives of others.
We take a few things pretty seriously. The first, an outstanding product. The second, producing that product in an environmentally responsible manner. The third, having passion for both.
We refuse to compromise our environmental stance for financial gain. We work hard to deliver an extremely high quality print using only waterbase and discharge inks. We ditched plastisol ink long ago, even though it's far more efficient to print with. It failed both of our test. It doesn't produce as nice of a product as our waterbase and discharge inks do, nor is it nice on mother nature!
OUR CORE VALUES
Print the highest quality product while caring for God's glorious creations
We work extremely hard to bring our clients the highest quality product available. That superior product will not however come at the expense of our beautiful, God given earth in which we, as stewards, are entrusted to protect and maintain. We take both stances very seriously and are constantly trying to improve upon both. We seek to leave the earth in better shape for our children's children than it was when we ourselves inherited it.
Deliver a fun, friendly and uniquely positive client experience
We are amazed by some of the customer service we run into. Every time, it's a great reminder of what NOT to be. We strive to provide a great interaction every time you call, email or run across us on the web. These experiences are constantly being thought through and evaluated for maximum satisfaction, enjoyment and overall positive experience. Criticim is welcomed and expected as we navigate the course.
Harness collaboration and communication in an innovative working environment for team members
Our unique client experience wouldn't exist without having the team we have. We know our feelings, attitude and enjoyment is transparent. A happy team leads to a hard working team, which leads to a great client experience.
Earn a profit for stakeholders
We hope to still be printing t-shirts for you in ten and twenty years and for your grandchildren in forty years. Our vendors and suppliers rely on us to be in business just as much as we rely on them. Our team members hope to have jobs tomorrow. Our community strives as we give back. Our stakeholders are more than just our investors. Through our exceptional product, service and care, we expect to earn a profit for our stakeholders.
Serve in the lives of others
We understand there is more to life than just t-shirts. We've made reaching out a priority in our business. Our team keeps this in mind and we like to think our clients appreciate it as well. We seek to serve both friend and foe, foreign and domestic. When our product is useful in service, we'll use it. When labor, time, relationships or other resources are most beneficial, we shall serve in such a manner.
Seek mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers
Business would be rather difficult without a great team of suppliers backing our every move. From internet to energy, from ink to shirts, all have their place in our operation. These relationships help us maintain the highest quality product available in the most efficient manner.
Always question and challenge the status quo, both personally and as a team
Betterment, learning and advancement are key drivers in our success. We seek to constantly question whether what we are doing makes the most sense for the desired end result. If there is a more productive way, we are challenged to find it, often in creative ways. Great results are generally the result of great risk. Risk is not avoided, but is measured against the reward before undertaken.
