This is one of those posts that is never easy to write… The kind you put off. The kind you rewrite over and over. The kind you wish you didn’t have to make at all…
But here we are.
At the end of this month, Creative Printz would have marked six years in business.
Six years since I started this little business at my kitchen table… not knowing what it would become, just hoping it might turn into something amazing! And somehow, with the support of this community, both locally and right across New Zealand, it grew into more than I ever imagined.
This was never just “a business.”
It was built on people. On support. On word of mouth. On loyal customers who kept coming back and trusting me with their ideas, their brands, their teams, their gifts. Creative Printz only ever became what it was because of you.
Over the years we grew from small hobby jobs into a full service shop…..DTF printing, sublimation, embroidery, engraving, apparel, business printing, graphic design… we did it all.
There were some incredible highs.
There were also some really tough lows. But every bit of it mattered. Every order, every conversation, every bit of support, none of it went unnoticed.
I am so incredibly proud of what was built from nothing.
But life doesn’t always go the way you plan… and right now it’s taking me in a very different direction.
So with a heavy heart, I’ve made the decision to close Creative Printz. This hasn’t been an easy call. Not even close. But it’s one that needs to be made.
Our final day open in store will be Friday 15th May.
From today, we won’t be taking on any new custom orders.
However, we do have blank stock and pre-made items available in store only and these will be cleared out over the next couple of weeks.
If you’ve ever supported me, whether that was once or a hundred times, please know how much it has meant. You helped turn something that started on a kitchen table into something real. Something I’ll always be proud of.
Thank you for backing a small business.
Thank you for backing me.
❤️ Amy
