About Us

The Press Company was born from a simple idea: to create custom apparel that celebrates identity, achievement, and community. Its origins trace back to Cal Poly Pomona, where a group of fraternity brothers launched a small project designing and selling Greek merchandise on campus. What started as a student-led initiative quickly grew into a thriving custom apparel business, serving Greek organizations, student clubs, and campus events.

After operating for over a decade and building a loyal customer base, the original founders eventually pursued different professional paths. Recognizing the potential to take the brand to the next level, Jeanelle Ignacio, a seasoned nurse entrepreneur, and Oliver Ignacio, a business management graduate and one of the original team members, came together to relaunch and rebrand the company as The Press Company or The Press for short.

Under their leadership, The Press Company transitioned from a brick-and-mortar model to a fully integrated e-commerce business, expanding its offerings beyond Greek life into corporate merchandise, branded apparel, and promotional products. With Jeanelle’s leadership and operational expertise along Oliver’s background in business, sales, and HR, the duo restructured the company to meet the demands of modern clients while staying true to its original mission of empowering communities through meaningful, customized products.

Today, The Press Company proudly partners with universities, small businesses, large industries, nonprofits, and corporate teams nationwide—offering high-quality embroidery, screen printing, DTF/DTG printing, and custom graduation stoles. As it continues to grow, The Press Company remains focused on innovation, creativity, and helping customers wear their story with pride.

At The Press Company, we believe in using our platform to make a meaningful difference—both locally and globally. As part of our commitment to social responsibility, we donate a portion of our proceeds to Compassion International, a global organization dedicated to releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name.

Through this partnership, we help provide life-changing support such as education, healthcare, nutrition, and spiritual development to children in underserved communities around the world. Every purchase made at The Press Company contributes to this mission—empowering our customers to shop with purpose and give back with impact.

When you choose The Press Company, you're not just investing in high-quality custom apparel—you’re joining us in building a better future for children in need.
