How long have you been in business?
We have over 20 years of industry experience. I started in 1990 after getting my honorable discharge from the US Navy. We started The Printing Crew in July of 2011, so we are in our second year of operation and things are going great!
What is your primary product or service?
We specialize in sourcing all printed products. With our years of experience, we know who locally can produce a top quality product at the best price. With our trade pricing, we are able to get our clients better pricing than they can get going direct to print and we know the products and vendors well enough to know who to use for each order. We take the guesswork out of printing for our clients. We are like a printing concierge and the best thing is you get our expert input but still pay less than trying to figure it out yourself.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I got into the printing business as a "helper" working the graveyard shift at a company called Trade Service Publications in La Jolla. we would print the nighty "Racing Digest" which is a Horse Racing handicapping aid. The Digest is still printed here locally to this day.
