Our Story

Built by a Family,
Made for You

LR Threads started from a simple idea โ€” quality sublimation printing shouldn't cost a fortune. Here's how we got here.

Our Story

How It All Started

It all began with a clothing line. Back in 2017, Kassy and Jonathan launched Little Rangos โ€” a small clothing brand born out of creativity and hustle. As they grew, they needed sublimation printing for their fabrics, and what they found was a frustrating reality: most printing shops were overpriced, making it nearly impossible for small businesses like theirs to turn a real profit.

They knew there had to be a better way. If they were struggling with printing costs, countless other business owners were too โ€” from small shops just getting started to larger brands looking for a reliable partner. So in 2022, they took everything they'd learned and launched LR Threads โ€” a custom sublimation printing company built on one core promise: amazing quality at prices that actually make sense.

"We started LR Threads because we saw too many businesses struggling with overpriced printing. We wanted to change that."

What started in their home in Murrieta, California has grown into a trusted printing partner for businesses of all sizes, crafters, and creators across the country. Every yard of fabric that rolls off the printer is handled with the same care they'd give their own brand โ€” because they've been in those shoes.

Today, LR Threads offers over 20 premium fabric bases, more than 1,000 pre-made designs through talented designers like Lauren Liza Designs, and multiple easy ordering paths. But no matter how much they grow, the mission stays the same: help businesses thrive with quality printing they can actually afford.

Home & Heart

A True Family Business

Before LR Threads, we ran Little Rangos. We knew the frustration of overpriced printing firsthand โ€” and we got tired of it. So we built something better. Starting in Murrieta, California with two kids and a whole lot of drive, we created the printing partner we always wished we had. Four kids later, LR Threads has grown into a trusted name for sewists, boutique owners, and makers across the country. But the mission hasnโ€™t changed โ€” quality prints, fair prices, and a team that actually cares about your business.

OEKO-TEX Certified Inks

Every print we create uses OEKO-TEX certified inks โ€” tested for harmful substances and proven safe for you and your customers. It's one more way we make sure quality is never compromised.

Our inks are certified, not our prints โ€” an important distinction we're transparent about.
