The Gloo Factory started printing for the Tucson community around 2000. We have grown to a full service union print shop, specializing in screen printing, digital printing, publishing and cut vinyl graphics. Today, about a dozen workers are employed at the Gloo Factory. While our clientele is primarily in southern Arizona, we print and ship products across the country and around the world.
