WANT CUSTOM MASKS FOR YOUR BUSINESS OR TEAM? OZUBKO HAS YOU COVERED

Greg Ozubko wasn't looking for a way to expand his VA Ink screen printing business as much as he just wanted to help others. Thus was born RacerMasks.com.

"When the pandemic hit, virtually so many of my suppliers that I buy tee shirts from were sending out emails about masks," Ozubko recalled. "Every day, I would get like more and more emails for blank masks. What they were really kind of trying to do was either selling you blanks or blanks that you could decorate. But masks, by their nature, are not very easy to screen print. And as I was thinking about it, it just occurred to me that I bet you could probably sublimate these things."

Ozubko's gears in his head started to turn as he checked with one of his suppliers, and they had indeed already started a mask program.

"I jumped on board," Ozubko explained. "I just saw it as an opportunity that we could do a much nicer mask by sublimation than we could ever do by screen printing."

Ozubko's first offering was to create the CompetitionPlus.com masks, which can be PURCHASED HERE.

"Bobby Bennett and I have always been friends and I followed him on both a professional and personal level," Ozubko said. "His story of having contracted COVID and was the first person that I knew personally that came down with the virus. I found the story very powerful. I found it frightening, to say the very least. I just wanted to do something for him, as a result of what he had gone through. One evening, I concluded, he needed to be the first to get our masks."

Ozubko, whose VA Ink apparel business services the apparel needs of many top tier drag racing teams, is not in the business of selling individual products they create. However, for any enterprising team, or company seeking maximum exposure, he's the man for the job.

"It's a very simple procedure in that, whether it's a company or a race team of any size, professional, sportsman, what have you, it really just comes down to having some description of what the customer would like," Ozubko said. "Generally, the mask would have something to do with a corporate logo, or the race team logo, sponsor logo, et cetera, that they want on the masks.

"Most non-sponsored teams would do something that is in close relation to what their car looks like or even what their tee shirt might look like. And, on the corporate level, it's just been a more basic design generally, as most corporate things are. And it usually just involves the logo and just color coordinating a basic design to that logo."

And as Ozubko believes, if face coverings are mandatory, you might as well look good while doing it.
