As some of you know I am an entrepreneur and I own and manage my own Screen Printing company.
Screen Printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. It's commonly used to print clothing and signs. (Google Definition)
I am making this post because I am looking to expand my business beyond just the printing of garments. I already have an idea which would entail printing hymn sheets and similar stuff for places like funeral homes and churches. I welcome any other ideas which would be useful in my field of expertise.
Thanks, Ajslims!

People come into the company and they can either produce their own design or can have us make one for them.

I see. You could think of more stuff people would want custom prints on, for example you can get some blank puzzle sets and offer to print family photos on it, or whatever they would want.

Wow, never knew you had a company... It is your own company or are you just working for that company and want to suggest stuff? But that funeral home idea isn't too bad. Maybe quilts or something would be nice also idk, all out of ideas lmao. Good luck with this though.

It's my company and the quilt idea would come under regular screen printing.

One that just might work is xbox cover and ps3 covers, considering how many people have them now a days.

My parents are both Graphic designers and run a buisness similar to this but much it deals with a much larger variety of areas.
If you're only printing, I would suggest expanding it so that you do all sorts of promotional merchandise, such as printing mugs, pens, calenders etc etc, these are the things which other companies buy all the time.
If you only do clothing and signs I fear you may struggle.
