“We saw the need for masks and the need to work together as a country to fight the coronavirus.” Stephen said in an interview. Within a week Custom Printing USA completely re-tooled their equipment, sourced missing machinery and raw materials, and created dozens of samples in order to start building custom made face masks. “We began to build prototypes and test materials and recently launched our masks.” Crissman noted. While the desire for social gathering products is low, the need for masks right now is enormous.
However, staying true to their form the Crissmans have decided to make their masks customizable. They offer a number of different bright patterns to choose from as well as the option to express yourself. When asked Stephen replied, “We find it important to create masks, that people want to wear.”
In true American spirit, they have also started donating the masks as well. For every 2 masks that are sold, CPUSA will donate one to a hospital in need. Stephen and Jen Crissman said they just wanted to do their part in serving our great nation.

Stephen Crissman, Raleigh native and alum of Enloe High School, Appalachian State University and UNC Chapel Hill Law School and his wife Jennifer have been in the business of selling social gathering products for the past 15 years. After running their business remotely for over a decade, they decided to come back to Raleigh in 2018 to open up a new production facility, excited to return to the community to raise their 2 sons where Stephen grew up, be closer to family, and start a new chapter of their business creating jobs in the community.
When social distancing became the new norm and social gathering events were canceled, their business was hit hard and early. As Jen said, “If large events aren’t happening, then the desire for custom printed products falls as well”.
