Customer stories
Built in a working shop. Proven on real jobs.
OBPrint started as the software one print shop needed to stop retyping jobs. Here is what changed, told straight. No star ratings, no logo wall, no invented percentages.
- Used every dayWe run our own shop on OBPrint.
- Real workflowsOutcomes from production, not testimonials.
- Opt-in onlyNamed case studies only with a shop’s permission.
01
One job record instead of five places to look.
Before OBPrint, garment costs lived in old quotes and supplier websites, and decoration pricing sat in spreadsheets that did not always match what we actually ran on press.
Connecting S&S and SanMar put blanks and live catalog costs in the quote builder. Decoration matrices and overhead showed the margin before the quote went out. When a customer approved, the sales order carried the same lines straight to production.
The production board replaced the whiteboard. Press runs with piece counts showed which jobs took the most time, and job costing after the fact matched what the floor reported.
We still run the shop on it every day. When something slows production down, we feel it first, and that is usually what gets fixed next.
What changed
- Quotes start from supplier catalog costs, not last year's spreadsheet
- Press time and ink roll into job costing on The Full Run
- Proof approvals sync to sales orders and work orders
- Team messaging stays on the job instead of a side group text

Shops testing the full workflow
We onboard shops in small groups so support stays close. Most start on Short Run to quote real jobs, then upgrade when they need press tools, a second seat, or live merch.
Common wins: fewer retyped quotes between sales and production, clearer board handoffs between art and print, and costing that matches what the floor actually ran.
Sign and wrap shops use install scheduling and the installer app when field work is a big part of revenue. Promo distributors lean on PromoStandards catalog search and merch stores for repeat programs.
We do not publish star ratings or fake logos. Book a demo and we will share examples relevant to your shop type if the shop has opted in.
What changed
- Short Run lets shops try quoting and production with real limits
- Full Run shops use OB-5, merch publish, install scheduling, and QuickBooks
- No fabricated metrics, review counts, or anonymous quotes
- Named case studies only with shop permission
What we will not claim.
- We will not show fake customer logos or "trusted by thousands" counts
- We will not invent star ratings or anonymous testimonials
- We will not promise margin improvements without context from your shop
- We will not claim competitor features we have not verified
- We will not imply every shop should switch; fit depends on your workflow
Story questions
Want examples from a shop like yours? Book a 30-minute demo.
Can we be a published case study?
Ask us after you have run production on OBPrint for a few months. We only publish with written permission and accurate workflow detail.
Is the founder story marketing?
It is also how the product gets built. We run production on OBPrint. That does not mean your shop is identical to ours; book a demo for your workflow.
Why no ROI percentages?
Margin gains depend on what you were doing before, your mix of work, and how you use costing feedback. We prefer honest workflow outcomes over invented statistics.
Can I talk to another shop?
When shops opt in, we connect you for a reference call. Until then, a demo with your job types is the best proof.
