What Amdec does

Amdec, Inc. (short for American Decorators) is a privately held, woman-owned screen printing service provider headquartered in Dallas, Texas, founded in 1995 and led by President Kathy Carmody. The company specializes in decorating hard-surface containers — glass bottles, plastic bottles, tubes, jars, and specialty items — using automatic and semi-automatic screen printing presses with up to 8-color registration. It also offers complementary decoration methods including pad printing for irregular shapes, hot stamping with foil, metallic and UV inks, flame treating of plastics for ink adhesion, and labeling services. The customer base is concentrated in cosmetics, skin care, hair care, nail care, wine/spirits, and promotional glassware, with named accounts such as BioSilk, CHI Smart, Jack Black, Beyond Belief Skin Care, Merlot Skin Care, Splash Liquid Lounge, and Heidi Nails.

The business operates as a project-based B2B service. Pricing is quote-driven and varies by quantity, container type, color count, and lead time, with metallic printing commanding a $25-35 upcharge and pre-production samples available for $160 (up to 50 units). Standard lead times are 15-24 working days, with 7-day rush orders available. Customers initiate projects via the company website, phone (214-654-0560), email, or referral, and the workflow proceeds through artwork approval, customer-sourced container delivery, purchase order, and production scheduling.

Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, augmented by a broad but shallow social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Yelp, Pinterest, Tumblr, Nextdoor, Thumbtack) and reciprocal referrals with local Dallas partners (Dallas T-Shirt Co, JCGweb, G2web). The company ships nationwide from its single Dallas facility and has progressively added capability since 2012 — pad printing, hot stamping, a 2-color automatic press in 2016, a labeler in 2017, and announced shrink sleeve services in 2018. Operations were constrained during COVID-19 with reduced hours; recent blog activity through 2025-2026 confirms continued active operation.
