Tag-It Express, Oshawa, ON

Make Custom Designs Come To Life - Tag-it Express is more than just a business to me, it is an outward expression of myself. It all started in a one-bedroom condo in Scarborough with pieces of vinyl stuck to almost every surface. My wife and I had regular 9-5 jobs at a bank that exhausted us but we managed to continue to work all hours of the night heat pressing the vinyl to make this business work. Owning my own custom apparel business was always the dream, but at that time it didn't seem like it could become a reality. It wasn't until my 10th anniversary at the bank that I realized I wanted more for my life, I wanted my dream to come true. So I left my regular day job to pursue my talents in graphic design. Because I had a background in making apparel, I understood why what we wear is so important to people. Some even define themselves by what they wear. This is when I knew I wanted to create custom apparel.
