We are primarily an athletic management corporation located in Northwest Ohio.  Due to the Pro Shop we run as a part of our operations the owners of both our screen printer and embroiderer independently approached us regarding the acquisitions of their companies, so we were faced with either finding someone to replace them as our service provider or to try to learn the industries. We opted to learn the industries while keeping their staffs in place. It's been rocky at times but interesting as well.

Seven years ago when we acquired the screen printing company we  inherited two Riley Hopkins manual presses and added one M&R Diamondback automatic in the screen printing operations.  Our goal is to increase production rates while maintaining quality product.  We recently upgraded our graphics computer to an Apple and use both AI and Corel software (due to the backgrounds of our previous printing managers), as well as purchasing an Epson vinyl cutter for custom names primarily.

Our entry into embroidery occurred in the fall of 2018 with a 6 head SWF embroidery machine. Since November, we have purchased a second 6 head machine and a single head unit for personalizations and sew outs.  The process of adding embroidery to our customer base and product lines has been much smoother, so maybe we learned some lessons along the way.

Bernie Sitron had been working for his father Jack in their print shop for a number of years when Bernie realized that he wanted to move in a different direction. In June of 1955 Advance Stamp & Sign opened its doors in Norristown, PA. The initial shop sold rubber stamps, notary seals and other marking equipment. Bernie was running a successful business when his son Steve started working for him in 1971. Steve helped expand the business both in manufacturing technology and sales. Advance stamp started to show more focus in the sign industry while still selling marking equipment and rubber stamps. Steve became well versed in all aspects of the company. In 1984, after much growth and three location changes, Bernie was ready for retirement. Steve purchased the company from him and continued to expand the business.

Steve’s son Elliot joined the company in 2005 with the desire to someday follow his father’s footsteps and one day own the company. When Elliot joined Advance Stamp & Sign so did some state of the art equipment. The laser engraver allows for more precise and more efficient manufacturing of stamps, seals and signs. The rotary engraver equipped with an automated braille system allows for the ability to manufacture ADA compliant signage. Advance Stamp & Sign’s Large Format Printer an eight color screen printing press contributes to the company with brilliant print quality aiding in the manufacturing of indoor and outdoor signage along with custom apparel.

Steve purchased the building at Advance Stamp & Sign’s current location in West Norriton, PA. This location is the largest of the company’s history. The larger space allows for more expansive projects and easier manufacturing.  Currently Advance Stamp & Sign has an all-star crew of employees making daily operation run smooth and efficient.  Advance Stamp & Sign Co. manufactures a wide variety of signage from office nameplates to large store front and exterior corporate signage. In house we have state of the art equipment, we have a CO2 powered laser cutter and engraver, A Large Rotary Engraver/Router and a Large Format Printer that has the ability to cut colored vinyl or printed graphics along with a Vastex eight color screen printing press.
