Started in 2005 by Greg Moore, Bear Essentials (BE) has grown annually both in capability and in satisfied customers. Family-owned and operated, BE offers a comprehensive approach to everything decorated. With retail stores in both Saranac Lake and Lake Placid, we produce unique Adirondack designs loved by locals and tourists alike. All of our inventory is produced in our Saranac Lake location, employing local, talented residents.Bear Essentials is a complete resource for anything screen printed and embroidered, offering traditional screen printing and full-color printing. Each has their unique “hand” (how they feel to the touch), limitations and applications. We can explain this because we are the ones that do this! We also offer custom embroidery, from a single piece to thousands (we won the 2013 Empire State Games athlete apparel contract for two consecutive years!) Our customer satisfaction is what makes us stand out from the rest. We care. We scrutinize. We deliver. Let us be your resource!
