Coastal Business Supplies Supports Colorado Shooting Victim

In the wake of the tragedy that occurred in Aurora, CO in July, a family already in difficult times received the news that their daughter, Petra Anderson, was shot four times in a theater by a masked gunman. In addition to the astronomical medical bills her family will face with her long road to recovery, Petra’s mother had also been previously diagnosed with terminal cancer. They are now reaching out to the public, requesting help and assistance from their community to give them a small amount of relief through these trying times. 

Coastal Business Supplies is proud to stand behind a grassroots fundraiser 5K race event started by the Colorado community in order to help alleviate the financial burden during this tragic time. Coastal will provide blank items to be generously printed and pressed by a local Colorado business in thanks to the participants and supporters of this event. Keep an eye on CoastalBusiness.com for upcoming information on this event!

Of all my favorite ways to make cool t-shirts here working at Coastal Business, I am especially partial to vinyl transfers. They’re light in hand, with great durability, and come in a wide variety of colors, textures, and even special effects to really make a t-shirt design POP at a customer. And when your mind is on your design, it’s nice to have a product like EasyWeed to take the additional guesswork out of creating your garment.

EasyWeed, the family of heat transfer vinyl by Siser, is a popular choice for apparel decorators. It’s simple to cut and apply, works well on a wide variety of fabric types, and appeals to customers due to its soft, thin properties. It’s also been around for quite awhile, so the company has earned a pretty good reputation in the industry for making a consistently performing product.
