THE STORY OF US
Rutler Screen Printing, founded in 1954 in George’s garage, has grown into a leader in the industry. Operating from an 18,000-square-foot facility in Easton, PA, we offer top-notch screen printing, embroidery, private stores, and fulfillment services. With decades of experience and a commitment to "never disappoint and always amaze," we provide exceptional quality and customer satisfaction.
George Rutler
Rutler Screen Printing got its start in 1954 right in George’s garage. Back then, they were all about printing signs, decals, and bumper stickers. It didn’t take long for the business to outgrow the garage, so they moved into a 5,000-square-foot facility on Belview Road in Phillipsburg, NJ. Thanks to their quality work and quick turnaround times, George landed jobs for big names like artist Clarence Carter and major companies like Blockbuster Video. Before he knew it, the demand was more than he could handle on his own, so he began the search for a partner.
John Shubert
John started a small engraving and screen printing business in Irvington, NJ, back in 1974. The daily commute from Phillipsburg soon became too much, and his wife introduced him to her boss, George. By 1976, the two decided to merge their companies, forming their first official corporation. Over the next decade, John and George not only continued printing signs, decals, and bumper stickers but also ventured into garment printing. The 80s were a huge time for them, especially with the boom in concert tees—they printed for major label artists on tour. George retired in 1986, and John ran the show solo until his son Allen joined the business eight years later.
Allen Shubert​
Allen joined the family business straight out of high school in 1994. He learned the ropes through hands-on experience and his father's wisdom, with a company motto of “never disappoint and always amaze.” Allen started in the art department, working with the technology of the day that was difficult and slow by today’s standards, then moved to the production floor to master the entire operation. By 2000, Rutler decided to stop printing signs and focus exclusively on apparel. Over the next 20 years, Allen absorbed his father's principles and gradually took over the daily operations. The exact moment when management shifted was a bit fuzzy, but they made a great team until 2012, when John decided it was finally time to retire and enjoy some well-deserved rest.

Sales Representative
Hey! I’m Sam (Sam T, Sam 2, Samantha, it really depends on the day). I joined the Rutler team in 2023 and I love it here! There is a sense of belonging and the environment is welcoming, positive, and productive. We have a great mix of personalities (big and small) which I love. We are a true team and are encouraged to voice our thoughts and ideas. This allows us to strive to be our best every day. Being very passionate about people, I have been working alongside customers for most of my adult life, and I’m able to really focus on that at Rutler. Seeing our clients get excited about their designs and finished product is rewarding to say the least! In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my 2 daughters (6 & almost 2). If I’m not doing the mom thing, I like to scroll TikTok, watch tv, and make people laugh. Occasionally, I bake a mean cake, too!
Sam Q.
Operations Manager
My name is Samantha Quick ( I prefer Sam). I started out as a member of the production team running Rutler’s first embroidery machines back in 2014. As Rutler grew, so did my role, which now encompasses many jobs from customer service to coordinating projects and overseeing the embroidery division. My favorite part of working at Rutler is the positive atmosphere and fast paced energy. No two days are alike! I married my high school sweetheart, and we have two lively children who keep us on our toes. My down time, if I have any, consists of watching movies, cooking and crafting with the kids. Another fun fact about me, I tend to recruit my family members! My mother and brother are also a part of the Rutler team and I love getting to see them every day!

Sales Representative
Hi, I’m Jake! I joined the Rutler team in 2021, and my role involves working with customers and communicating their ideas to the rest of our staff, ensuring their project or event can be successful! I love to help customers find the best garments to fit their needs, and it is very rewarding to see their ideas come to life with the final products! Rutler Screen Printing has a fun atmosphere with a lot of positive energy, and it’s great to have dependable co-workers to keep things running smoothly! This lets me explore opportunities in our local community, and the new challenges motivate us to find creative ways to improve our customer experience. In my free time, I like to relax with my two dogs (Bo & Lily), or visit my twin brother and cute nephew (he is about 1 ½!). My hobbies include traveling, reading books, losing our Fantasy Football league (2 years in a row!), and playing a variety of games with friends (including tabletop games, video games, and board games). I like to try new things, and I would love to be more active in the local community, so if you have an awesome event or organization, tell me about it!
Josh R.
Production Manager / Art Director
I started at Rutler in 2016 as the secondary artist and quickly moved into the role of Art Director. Over the next several years I learned as much as I could about the production side of the business and now, I am fortunate enough to manage our screen print production team and the art team. My goal is to ensure that every garment that leaves our building has the highest quality print possible. From the beginning steps of art proofing to the final boxing, we work our hardest to give you the best product and service around. For those of you wondering, yes, Lara is my wife! We have been together since 2013, happily married since 2019, and look forward to working together every day. Outside of work I am an avid golfer, gamer, and Philadelphia sports fan. I also help run a golf tournament each year for my brother, called the Drive for Adam, to raise money for Niemann-Pick Type C. For more information, please visit raceforadam.org.
