Women in Printing — It’s a Man’s World (Not!)

Lampe is the third generation in her family to own the business, formerly known as Charles E. Miller and Son, then Miller Printing, then Graphic Paper Products, which it has been since 1974. Earlier this year, Lampe changed the name to 3G Graphic Solutions.

Miller Printing, which has been an “institution” in Springfield since 1891, is the most well-known of the six companies that form 3G Graphic Solutions. The other companies are now organized as following: Miller Printing and Armstrong Printing fall under 3G Printing Solutions; Springfield Packaging and Rhoades Paper Box fall under 3G Packaging Solutions; and Barrett Brothers and Visual Education fall under 3G Specialty Publishing. Combined, the company’s annual revenues are $12 million.
