Friendly, dependable, warm, attentive, on schedule, dedicated
At Ellen’s we are very proud to continue our long tradition as the friendly and dependable neighborhood apparel printing shop Ellen Daigle opened in 1978. A place where customers are greeted with warmth and attentiveness and leave with confidence that their orders are in good hands and will be completed on schedule. Thanks to the dedication and stability of our production staff, another tradition has developed at Ellen’s, one of outstanding craftsmanship and technical excellence that allows us to serve some of the most discerning screen printing and embroidery customers in Southern California.
Passionate, enthusiastic, innovative, dependable
Four decades after starting her shop in her garage, owner and president Ellen Daigle continues to guide her company with passion and enthusiasm. Constantly seeking improvement and fresh ideas, Ellen consults regularly with leaders in the field of sales and business. In partnership with manager Howard Norris, she is working to transform Ellen’s into a 21st century business while maintaining its core values of friendly and attentive customer service and dependability. Ellen cherishes her relationships with her customers and is profoundly grateful for their trust and loyalty over the years.
Experienced artisans, driven to dazzle
The front office staff at Ellen’s is backed up by a production team of highly experienced artisans who are at the peak of their powers. Production manager and head embroiderer Victor Olivares and head printer Ruben Vargas have been at Ellen’s since 2001. Graphic artist Manuel Meza, who preps artwork and designs for screen printing, has been with us since 2008. Victor, Ruben, and Manny take immense pride in their work and are driven to dazzle customers on every project.
We invite customers to visit our showroom in South Pasadena, just 10 miles from downtown Los Angeles. This stimulating space is full of samples of work completed for many of the best-known cultural institutions in Southern California. As such it is a source of inspiration and ideas for anyone planning orders of branded apparel or promotional products, from retail professionals to private individuals.
The turnaround was on schedule, easy to get a hold of when you have a question, knowledgeable staff, good quality work.
