Fabric, a membership community for progressive print shop owners, is now accepting applications for its second cohort, launching in July.

Founded by Bruce Ackerman (Printavo), Steven Farag (Campus Ink), and Kevin Baumgart (Sales Ink), Fabric launched its first set of core groups for shop owners in March 2025. These three groups, each consisting of seven to 10 members, meet monthly with an executive coach/facilitator. During these meetings, the facilitator drives accountability, supports goal-setting, and fosters positive conversations, according to a press release.

To vet print shop owners in non-competing geographies, groups are carefully curated through a short application and interview process.

“We are creating a space where the business owner can become financially secure and be in full control of their time,” says Ackerman, co-founder of Fabric, in a press statement. “This doesn’t happen in many shops today.”

Farag, co-founder of Fabric, adds, “I’m confident that if the shops take their core group seriously, they will move into a realm of peak business ownership.”
