Queensboro Shirt Company (Queensboro.com) is an American internet based custom logo apparel shirt company with offices in Dallas, Texas and in Wilmington, North Carolina.[1][2] The company uses embroidery, screen print and digital printing techniques to imprint designs onto shirts and other apparel such as hats, jackets sweatshirts and bags.[3]
History
editQueensboro Shirt Company was founded by Fred Meyers in New York in the late 1970s as a hobby when he was a college student.[4][5][6] He is the current president of the company.[7][8][9]
In 1995, Queensboro moved its headquarters to Wilmington, North Carolina.[4] In August 2010, Queensboro received an order for 9,000 embroidered shirts and hats from Chief John Nwodo in Enugu, Nigeria, in preparation for the city's 100th-anniversary celebration.[10] Given the size of the order, the company requested phone verification and upfront payment through a certified check. Once the payment was confirmed, Queensboro quickly processed the order and dispatched it by December 16, marking their first-ever shipment to Africa.[10]
In November 2010, Queensboro introduced "Zap Tee," an iPhone application that allows users to select or upload images for shirt printing and embroidery.[3] Once an image is chosen, the order is sent to Queensboro for processing and shipment.[3]
Operations
editQueensboro's operations are housed in a renovated 100,000-square-foot building on 13th Street, originally from the 1950s. In Dallas, they operate out of a 40,000 industrial building in the Farmer’s Branch neighborhood.[4]
