Pic The Gift acquires Just Vision It

Pic The Gift (PTG) announced the acquisition of Just Vision It, LLC, a leader in grand-format sublimation printing. Just Vision It (JVI) will operate as Just Vision It, a Pic The Gift company, out of its current 50,000-square-foot facility in Lone Jack, MO.

“This acquisition is a major milestone for Pic The Gift and a tremendous win for our Partners, our team, and our future,” said Wes Pickering, CEO and Co-Founder of Pic The Gift. “JVI brings 13 years of manufacturing excellence, a talented and dedicated team, and a culture that aligns beautifully with our own. We are excited to welcome them into the Pic The Gift family.”

The acquisition expands Pic the Gift’s manufacturing footprint to three production facilities and meaningfully upgrades its sublimation capabilities. Most notably, the print width capability increases from 1.8 meters to 3.2 meters, enabling PTG to produce large and grand-format banners, tradeshow displays, soft goods, and custom event signage entirely in-house. JVI is also recognized as one of the only G7-certified printers specializing in dye sublimation, a color calibration standard that ensures exceptional consistency across devices, substrates, and production runs.

“Adding JVI’s facility and equipment gives us a meaningful increase in manufacturing capacity, along with excellent operational redundancy,” said Keith Abert, COO and Co-Owner of Pic The Gift. “The product offerings from both companies complement each other well, and we see tremendous cross-selling opportunities that will allow us to deliver more comprehensive solutions to our customers.”

“We built Just Vision It to be the best dye-sublimation manufacturer in the USA,” said John Whitt, COO of Just Vision It. “Joining forces with Pic The Gift means we can deliver on that promise at a scale we couldn’t achieve alone. I am confident this is the right next chapter for our customers, our team, and everything we’ve built.”

Bram Mencher, President of Operations at Pic The Gift, sees the deal as a foundation for long-term growth. “The economies of scale we’ll gain across purchasing, production, logistics, and administration will make us a stronger, more competitive company,” said Mencher.

JVI’s existing customer relationships will continue without disruption. Pic The Gift is committed to serving JVI’s customers with the same quality, responsiveness, and personal attention they have come to expect.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, in 2019, Pic The Gift bought Wentzville-based Commercial Apparel for its in-house sewing capabilities and stitched products. In 2023, it acquired ThreadStudio, which came with new product lines and increased automation in production.

Pic The Gift was founded in 2012 by Pickering, Larry Sainte-Marie, and a silent partner to meet the rising demand for scalable, high-quality personalized product fulfillment. With a focus on reliability, innovation, and speed, our company quickly grew, welcoming Keith Abert as Partner & COO in 2016 to support operational expansion and efficiency.
