Our Story

100% Woman-Owned & Family-Driven | Shipping Worldwide Since 1998

At PDQ Signs, we believe that honest craftsmanship and deep respect for people should be at the heart of every single order we print. Founded by Tina M. Douglas, who proudly launched this business as a 100% woman-owned independent shop back in 1998, our Chandler, Texas family company has spent nearly three decades building a global reputation entirely away from corporate shortcuts and hidden fees.

A Mother-Daughter Legacy

Today, PDQ Signs continues its proud heritage as a true multi-generational, female-led operation. Our active shop floor and daily manufacturing lines are run directly by Tina’s daughter, Markie Melton, who serves as our General Manager (GM). Bringing over 15 years of dedicated field experience to our production room, Markie oversees our heavy machinery lines and manages client relations with absolute professionalism. Behind the scenes, Tina handles our digital website order pipelines and e-commerce platforms, ensuring every design upload, file audit, and custom proof is calibrated to perfection before it ever hits the machinery.

This shop floor has always been a training ground for real life. As a proud mother of 5 and grandmother of 12, Tina raised her household on a simple philosophy: life isn't always easy, but hard work, grit, and precision can outlast any challenge. Every single one of her children has worked in this print shop at one point or another, learning the trade from the ground up. Tina passed down the tools for her family to be the absolute best they could be, regardless of gender. Today, that legacy lives on through a son in manufacturing, a daughter serving as a nurse, an aviation mechanic, and another daughter who started right here under Tina’s wing before mastering her own professional vehicle window tinting business over a 15-year career.

While our roots remain firmly grounded in Texas, our craftsmanship knows no borders. Today, we work with and ship to agencies, public safety fleets, and commercial businesses all over the world. Whether we are designing custom business cards for a local mom starting her first venture, or manufacturing heavy-duty, high-visibility reflective wrap packages for an authoritative law enforcement fleet across the globe, every client gets our absolute best. We hold ourselves to a strict moral code of total transparency. That means no automated lies about production speeds and no hidden upsells.

"Our business promise is built on old-school honesty: We are human, and if we make a mistake, we stand by our craftsmanship—tell us privately and we will work with you to make it right. If you love what we did, please tell the world on Google!"
