SHAPCO PRINTING — BROTHERS BOUND BY INK

The brothers Shapiro have printing in their blood. Their father owned a 10-employee shop, American Color Press in Minneapolis, for about 20 years. Due to a terminal illness, though, he was forced to sell the company in 1972. Four years later, his son Robert began pondering career options after graduating from the University of Minnesota. Robert had always enjoyed the printing business growing up, so he decided to start his own company.
