American Printing — Fast-track Firm

Experience is a major plus for the executive team, which has a combined 114 years of print know-how among the trio of Stanford, Sturgeon and Clair. Along the way, they have learned more than a few dos and don'ts.

"We just don't go out and sell a printing job. We do our homework up front," Sturgeon says. "We know what each customer is doing--how they distribute their product, how they sell their product, and what their retail and wholesale markets are. This provides us with a good idea on how they need to be serviced."
