History of American Color

American Color’s success is a tribute to the power of change. For over 80 years we have consistently pushed the printing and premedia industries forward.

We’ve grown into one of the largest companies in the industry by keeping our innovative edge, time and again being the first to implement the latest technology in order to serve the changing needs of our clients.

Our print division, founded in 1926, is today one of the largest providers of commercial offset (heatset and coldset) and Flexographic printing in North America. With eight interconnected, state-of-the-art plants across the continent, our size becomes your advantage. It ensures the best print-to-market timing for your needs including printing, material placement, finishing, inserting, mailing, list services and distribution.

Our premedia services have been at the cutting edge of innovation for nearly three decades. Every day, we manage and produce the highest quality retail inserts, direct mail, catalogs, publications, packaging, book and commercial content in six premedia centers coast-to-coast.

And we continue to evolve today. In perfecting our fully integrated digital workflow, we have improved production with additions like our Flexo packaging prepress and top-line digital photography studios. And by providing clients with the option to keep all production on-site, our Managed Services continues to thrive at numerous customer locations.
