INDIANAPOLIS — RAM Graphics, an Alexandria company that specializes in imprinted apparel and spirit wear, has been acquired by Distinct Images, a supplier of imprinted apparel and promotional products.

The move allows Distinct Images to increase its client base by more than 30 percent, officials said.

RAM Graphics examined multiple printing companies to purchase them during a process that included a secret shopper test.

“We wanted to make sure we had a reputable partner and by testing out the competition first hand; we found one with Distinct Images,” said Rachel Robinson of RAM Graphics. “Distinct Images offers an attention to detail and creativity that is not typical in our industry. We feel very comfortable having our customers work with their talented and experienced team moving forward.”

Distinct Images will now assist RAM Graphics customers with their printing needs, while continuing to serve its own growing client base, which includes Sun King Brewery, Xavier University, Hotbox Pizza, Heritage Christian schools and many more.

“We are thrilled about this partnership with RAM Graphics,” said Jim Pike, president of Distinct Images. “The company has a long history of serving its loyal customers with great, customizable apparel and we will absolutely continue that trend. Plus, our current customers will also benefit because we are now moving to improve and expand our online ordering system.”

In the coming weeks, Distinct Images customers will be able to take advantage of a more robust online ordering system, allowing customers to customize stock designs, request quotes and process orders online.

Currently at 12 full-time employees, Distinct Images plans to add at least three new staff members to accommodate its consistent year-over-year growth.
