RushOrderTees is an American technology and custom apparel company based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. [4]
Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, RushOrderTees began in 2002 [8] in Philadelphia with Michael, Jordan and Alexis Nemeroff serving as its founders. [9] [4] [8] They started the company with one machine and one heater in their parents' garage, while attending Lower Moreland High School. [10] [11]
In April 2018, RushOrderTees acquired the design firm Tonic Design based in Callowhill, Philadelphia. [12]
RushOrderTees currently occupies a 63,000-square-foot (5,900 m2) t-shirt printing and embroidery facility in Philadelphia. [2] [4] The company has a revenue of US$22.9 million as of 2015. [5] It serves as an official apparel provider for the Philadelphia 76ers with which it has entered a partnership. [5] [13] [14] This partnership has included the distribution of Philadelphia 76ers and Philadelphia Eagles t-shirts for the Super Bowl LII. [15] [16]
Now it owns and occupies 63,000 square feet of production, warehouse, call center, and administrative space filled with "tens of millions of dollars" in printing and embroidery equipment.
After the Philadelphia Eagles' narrow win this past Sunday night against the Chicago Bears, a Philadelphia-area T-shirt company is seeing huge demand for screen-printed T-shirts commemorating the night's big moment in what's the latest major example of the "moment merch" trend.
Michael Nemeroff started Printfly, which runs RushOrderTees.com, a custom T-shirt printing business, with his brother and sister in 2002 in Philadelphia. He began offering a 401(k) retirement plan within the last year for his 180 employees, 80 percent of whom are millennials. It was a great tool for recruiting and retaining employees, he said.
RushOrderTees.com, a custom apparel company, has grown 157 percent in the past three years and reported $22.9 million revenue for 2015. They've even secured an apparel deal with the city's beloved 76ers for the upcoming season.
We say we're not just a T-shirt company; we're a tech company that sells tees. Tech drives everything we do. It allows us to get to the size and scale we're at. If you go online, you can design, check out and choose the actual date the order arrives. Most T-shirt companies in the industry—70 to 80 percent—[employ] between one and 10 people. Because of tech, our company has 250 people.
In 2002 Michael Nemeroff, now co-founder of RushOrderTees.com was just a student at Lower Moreland High School.
It's a dream that Michael Nemeroff, the co-founder and CEO of PrintFly, RushOrderTees.com's parent company, couldn't have imagined when he started 14 years ago alongside his brother and sister in his parents' Huntington Valley garage. Since then, Nemeroff, who's never received a high school diploma, and his siblings, Jordan and Alexis, have grown PrintFly into a multi-million company now based in Philadelphia, with a passion for the city and no plans on moving anytime soon. 'We started in 2002 with one machine, one heater, and we had no skill or talent in the industry,' he said. 'What I realized right away was that almost 70 percent of our customers came to us because another company hadn't followed through on what they promised them.'
Northeast Philly's Printfly, owner of brands in the printed products space like RushOrderTees.com announced Friday it had acquired Callowhill design firm Tonic Design.
The Philadelphia 76ers have added Northeast Philadelphia custom T-shirt printing and design company PrintFly to its roster of corporate partners. The deal provides the 14-year-old family-run company with a variety of online and in-game promotion opportunities, along with handling the Sixers' T-shirt needs.
Rush Order Tees, a PrintFly company, is now an official partner of the Philadelphia 76ers and will print t-shirts for the organization. The multi-year deal means Sixers t-shirts will be printed in Philadelphia by Philadelphians at a Philadelphia-based company.
The Philadelphia 76ers are going to be showing their support for the Eagles before they go up against the Patriots in Super Bowl 52 on Sunday. The Sixers-Heat game at Wells Fargo Center will be Brotherly Love Night. That means players will be wearing Brotherly Love shooting shirts, the first 10,000 fans get Brotherly Love shirts from RushOrderTees, the mascot Franklin the Dog will be in Eagles gear, the Sixers Dancers and Dunk Squad will perform Fly Eagles Fly, and other Eagles videos and social media posts will be shared throughout the game, per the news release.
