CLASSIC GRAPHICS -- Against the Odds

Classic Graphics purchased its first Heidelberg press in 1984, and launched a marketing campaign that highlighted their ability to handle more complex printing jobs. Within a few months, sales climbed by 30 percent.

By December 1987, Classic had added a two-color Heidelberg press, and sales grew by another 50 percent. In July 1993, Classic Graphics moved to its third and present location. With the move, Classic added a six-color press to its arsenal of two- and four-color presses, further broadening its capabilities. In 1996, the pair opened a second facility in Morrisville, NC, geared toward the half-size sheetfed market.
