Written by Ben Cox – ASAP Creative Arts is moving to a new location, but it’s not very far away. The design company will be taking over the building currently occupied mostly by House of Wheels, after that business closes its doors at the end of the month.

 

ASAP is located inside the building, and will expand its operations to the rest of the building, allowing them to grow and expand in ways they simply did not have room for in their current configuration. Fred Spencer, who runs ASAP, says “We have physically run out of space, because we have a lot of new customers and great existing customers. We are bringing in a 24 foot long digital press. It essentially takes in a tree at one end and spits out copies at the other end, and will do nearly 6,000 copies a minute.”

The new banners hung at the Brown County Museum of History were designed and printed entirely by ASAP

The new equipment will allow the company to print full color, high resolution catalogs and brochures, as well as better serve their existing local and statewide clientele.

While ASAP has always offered vehicle wraps, after the expansion they will be able to apply the product in a climate controlled area. Laser engraving will also be offered in the near future, now that space allows the company to purchase a top of the line engraver.

Jonathan Dunlap, an employee of ASAP, says the company is not rushing into things just to offer them. “We’re slowly taking the steps to make all the logical advances in directions that a print shop would. Which will include expanded product lines.”

The shop is located at 220 N Main, and is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Their website offers a look at the various products and services they provide, with examples of each . They can be reached through the website, but they say that coming into the store and meeting face to face “allows us to establish and build a professional relationship with our customers, and that’s what is most important”, according to Spencer.
