Chicago • Lakeview • Roscoe Village • Serving clients nationwide
At Inkdnylon Custom Apparel, our mission is simple: deliver premium-quality apparel and promo merch that helps businesses stand out. But behind that mission is a strategy that goes far beyond thread and ink — it’s about people, partnerships, and powerful ideas.
Recently, we explored this on a deeper level through a unique collaboration with another Chicago-based company, Uniquity Consulting. That experience reinforced something we’ve known for years: the right partnerships can unlock growth not just in Chicago, but across the United States.

Why Collaboration Matters in Business Growth
In a competitive market, going it alone isn’t the fastest path to growth. Partnerships open doors — to new audiences, new capabilities, and new ways of thinking. For Inkdnylon, partnering with other companies allows us to:
- Expand market reach — access new audiences via a partner’s network.
- Enhance credibility — align with respected brands for instant trust.
- Innovate faster — share knowledge and resources for better solutions.
- Deliver more value — combine strengths to offer a fuller solution.
Chicago: Our Launchpad for Collaboration
Chicago is more than our home; it’s a hub for creativity and entrepreneurship. The Lakeview and Roscoe Village neighborhoods are especially vibrant, filled with established companies and startups ready to make their mark.
Local collaborations often begin here — where face-to-face conversations become lasting partnerships with retailers, restaurants, event organizers, and community groups. Each local win strengthens our Chicago presence and creates momentum for national growth.
National Reach: From Local Roots to Nationwide Connections
While our roots are in Chicago, our ambitions are national. Through direct client work and strategic partnerships, we serve businesses across the United States. Three things fuel this:
- Digital visibility — clients anywhere can order embroidery, screen printing, vinyl, and apparel and promo merch.
- Reputation for quality — satisfied customers spread the word beyond Chicago.
- Scalable production — our equipment and capacity keep quality high across multi-state orders.
Our collaboration with Uniquity Consulting proves that the same principles that work in Chicago — relationship-building, shared goals, and mutual value — apply nationwide.
Leadership Lessons for Business Growth
One big takeaway from working with Asha Sarode, JD, MBA, founder of Uniquity Consulting, is that leadership isn’t confined to job titles. Every team member can lead through communication, initiative, and accountability.
Applied to partnerships, this leadership mindset changes everything: respect flows both ways, learning is mutual, and clear expectations create trust. The skills of a great internal leader translate directly into being a great external partner.
Turning Partnerships into Tangible Results
Ideas matter, but results matter more. In our work with Uniquity Consulting, we shared knowledge and also actionable opportunities — like our $5 Flat Rate Embroidery offer for qualifying businesses.

The Power of Mutual Growth
Partnerships like the one with Uniquity Consulting help both companies grow. For us, it meant leadership development and sharper execution. For them, it meant fresh branding perspectives and access to our embroidery expertise. Communities benefit — whether that’s Lakeview/Roscoe Village or customer bases across multiple states.
Looking Ahead
We’ll keep seeking partnerships that create real value on both sides. The future of business — in Chicago and nationwide — will be built on collaboration, shared knowledge, and adapting together.
