From our founder
Why did Dayne Remlinger start Ardor Printing?
Dayne started Ardor to build a company where people have the freedom to grow. Here's the story in his own words.
Freedom is the one constant that has always driven me: freedom to be who I want to be and to build the life I want to live. That's why I started Ardor Printing in my college apartment in Ellensburg. I wanted to build a company that gives people the freedom to make their own decisions and grow in the direction they want.
It hasn't been a straight line. In May 2017, right after we finished remodeling a new shop, a fire took the building. I stood outside moving customers' vehicles while the fire crews worked, knowing we'd have to start over. I've learned that nothing happens to you, it always happens for you. The fire gave me time to reflect and the chance to do it better.
My faith is at the center of how we rebuilt. Colossians 3:23 reminds me that whatever we do, we do it for the Lord. For us that means honest quotes, doing the job right even when nobody would notice, and treating every customer and teammate with respect.
This business is only as good as the people in it. I'm grateful to everyone who has been part of Ardor's story, and to Brandon, Jack, Levi, Zane, Derek, Jessica, Ian and Joel, who show up every day to make our customers look good.

Our journey
How did Ardor Printing grow from a college apartment to a Snohomish production facility?
Ardor's story has big wins, hard lessons and one very long night in 2017. Every step made room for more people, better equipment and bigger projects.
2012
An idea in a college apartment
Dayne started Ardor Printing in his apartment in Ellensburg, WA, selling small prints online because there wasn't room for anything bigger.
The online years
Building an online print business
Ardor opened an Amazon seller account and developed templated print products for electronic devices, growing to ship more than 30,000 custom print products a year from an online catalog of over 100,000 products.
First shop
Kittitas, WA
A larger printer meant a bigger space. Ardor moved into its first shop in Kittitas, grew the team and added local services like vehicle wraps, banners, stickers and signs.
Moving west
Bellevue, WA
As larger clients around Greater Seattle came on board, Ardor moved the business to Bellevue and soon needed a second warehouse to keep up.
May 17, 2017
The fire
Right after finishing a newly remodeled shop with a new print room and install space, Dayne saw smoke around 9 p.m. Within minutes the building was engulfed in flames. He moved customers' vehicles out while the fire department worked, and Ardor had to start over. Nothing happens to you, it always happens for you.
2018
Rebuilding in Snohomish
Ardor rebuilt in Snohomish, WA, with a 30,000-square-foot production facility that's now home to our jungle-themed print room.
2019
The work starts again
Ardor made its first new hire, landed UMC as one of its first big clients and took on a fleet rebrand of roughly 75 Harbor Foods semi trucks and trailers, with Brandon helping install some of the first trailers. Some nights Dayne slept under the production table.
2020
Doubling down
Through COVID-19, Ardor kept growing its install team. Jack, an installer with years of experience, took a leap of faith and joined, and the crew took on late-night installs across Seattle.
2021
New machines, new people
Ardor saved and financed the printing and finishing equipment it needed to grow. Late that year Levi joined: one of the best vinyl wrappers Dayne has seen, with attention to detail that's unmatched.
2022
Brandon joins full-time
Brandon, who can solve just about any problem and is one of the hardest-working people on the team, joined full-time as Ardor had its biggest year yet.
2024
Recognized in the region
Dayne was named to the Puget Sound Business Journal's 40 Under 40, and Ardor ranked No. 74 on Inc.'s Regionals: Pacific list.
