Still in the early years under Jeffrey Hassler’s leadership, New York-based Starline USA (PPAI 112719, Gold) continues to innovate and thrive in the industry. Last year, it partnered with fellow supplier Vantage Apparel to create a one-stop webstore for apparel and hard goods.

Starline has built its success in part on its TruColor digital decoration technique, which prints a variety of logos, photographs and other images with half-tones or gradients. The company also remains focused on innovation and new products. Notably, Starline made a shift to clean energy at its Grand Island, New York, facility in 2023. The site now runs fully on energy provided by a 40-acre community solar farm.
