Reflecting on 2025 and Looking Ahead Together

As we welcome the New Year, I want to thank you for the trust, collaboration, and partnership you shared with us throughout 2025. It was a year that moved quickly, yet one filled with progress, connection, and meaningful moments that reinforced what lies at the heart of our business.

2025 marked an important transition within Think Patented. We celebrated the retirement of two owners whose leadership, vision, and dedication helped shape the company into what it is today. At the same time, we solidified an ownership structure and leadership team focused on fueling our future and driving continued customer success.

From food trucks, ice cream days, and cookouts to shared celebrations and team events, we brought our team together beyond daily operations. These moments foster collaboration, build connection, and ultimately enhance the experience we deliver to our customers.

Throughout the year, we strengthened our relationships with customers and the community through experiences such as our Spring Promotional Products Show, time together at local sporting events, customer tours, and educational webinars, building relationships, sharing ideas, and celebrating partnerships along the way. We were especially honored to serve as the print partner for the historic NATO Summit held in Dayton, providing signage, environmental graphics, and other critical materials for an event that brought global leaders together.

Giving back remains a core part of who we are. Throughout the year, employees came together to support causes close to their hearts through fundraising, event participation, and donations, including Big Brothers Big Sisters’ Bowling for Kids and Light The Night for Blood Cancer United. We wrapped up the season with our annual holiday donations to three charitable organizations and the production of our “Do Good” calendar, marking our third year of highlighting and supporting 12 nonprofits. This calendar included an innovative pilot Voice AI experience, launching a new interactive service that brings print and digital together in a unique and engaging way.

Our sustainability journey continued through our annual community recycling event and new partnership with PrintReleaf. Through this additional environmental commitment, we reforested 1,055 trees in our first year.

Committed to the future, we invested in education and workforce development by welcoming educators and students for facility tours and offering internship opportunities. We believe sharing real-world insights helps inspire the next generation and build interest in an important — yet often underrated — industry. The world cannot go a day without print.

To reflect on the year that was, we’ve created a short highlights video capturing moments from 2025. We hope it offers a glimpse into the pride we feel and the optimism we carry forward. Enjoy our 2025 Year in Review video.

It’s fitting that 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese Zodiac. The Fire Horse represents action, innovation, and change — qualities that closely align with our strategy and the direction we are heading. We enter this new year energized, focused, and ready to continue evolving how we serve our customers, support our people, and contribute to our community.
