Acquired by Competitor The Printing Source was acquired by Garlich Printing Company in 2019 for $11.4M, indicating consolidation activity in the market and potential cross-sell or integration opportunities with Garlich’s existing client base.

Growth Opportunity Revenue range of $50M-$100M and a family of services including five-color printing, UV ink with inline coating, and full-service bindery suggest opportunities to upsell premium finishing, enhanced coatings, and quick-turn services to retain and expand mid-market accounts.

Tech-Forward Investments in technology and a consultative sales approach, along with QR code capabilities, indicate potential for offering data-driven printing solutions, trackable campaigns, and productized digital print services to marketing teams.

Market Positioning Operating in a competitive space with peers of various sizes and a diverse customer base, there is room to differentiate through sustainability-focused packaging, regional rapid-response production, and integration with Garlich’s broader distribution network.

Operational Strength Five-color perfecting capability, in-line UV coating, and a dedicated commercial facility point to opportunities for large-format or high-volume commercial projects, as well as potential cross-sell with Garlich’s equipment and logistics footprint.
