Third-Party Verified

Industry Awards

Recognition from outside our own walls matters. These awards were issued by independent organizations based on verified performance, community nominations, and national evaluation criteria — not paid placements or self-nominations.

2025
Quality Business Awards

Best Printing Services in Indianapolis

The Quality Business Award is presented to businesses that score above 95% across reputation, customer satisfaction, and service reliability — placing recipients in the top 1% of companies in their category nationwide. In 2025, Printing Partners received this recognition for Best Printing Services in Indianapolis. For customers choosing a commercial printer, it means you're working with a shop that has been independently verified to deliver at an elite level — consistently, not just occasionally.

Americans for the Arts

BCA 10 — Best Companies Supporting the Arts in America

Issued by Americans for the Arts, a respected national nonprofit, the BCA 10 Award honors businesses that demonstrate outstanding commitment to the arts in their communities. Printing Partners was nominated by the Indianapolis School of Ballet, a recognition that reflects years of genuine partnership with local arts organizations — not a one-time sponsorship. For clients in the nonprofit and arts sectors especially, this award signals a company that understands your world and shows up for it.

2004
AFP Indiana Chapter

Indiana Philanthropy Award — Outstanding Small Business

The Indiana Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals presented this award to Printing Partners for exceptional philanthropic support and community engagement. It's the kind of recognition that speaks to character: the people running this business invest in Indianapolis beyond the transaction. If you're a nonprofit or values-driven organization evaluating vendors, that alignment matters.

Audited & Maintained

Industry Certifications

Certifications aren't marketing claims — they're audited, maintained, and renewably held to published standards. Printing Partners holds three active certifications that directly affect the quality, consistency, and environmental responsibility of your printed work.

Idealliance · International Standard

G7® Master Colorspace Certified

G7 Master Colorspace Certified is the highest level of color certification issued by Idealliance, the international printing standards organization. G7 defines the method for calibrating printing equipment to a common gray balance, ensuring that color output matches approved proofs and remains consistent across presses, runs, and substrates. For brand managers, marketing teams, and anyone who has ever received printed materials that looked nothing like the screen — G7 certification is the answer. Your colors will be right. Every time.

Forest Stewardship Council · Global Standard

FSC® Certified Printer

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) sets the global standard for responsibly sourced paper and wood products. As an FSC certified printer in Indianapolis, Printing Partners can source materials from forests that meet verified standards for biodiversity protection and sustainable management. If your company has sustainability commitments, ESG reporting requirements, or procurement policies that require certified materials, we can fulfill them — and provide the documentation to support your reporting.

ISO · International Quality Standard

ISO 9001:2015 Certified Quality Management

ISO 9001:2015 certified means that Printing Partners' internal processes have been audited against the International Organization for Standardization's framework for quality management. Every job runs through documented procedures designed to minimize error, ensure consistency, and support continuous improvement. This isn't a one-time audit — ISO 9001 certification requires ongoing adherence and periodic recertification. For procurement teams who need predictable results across large or recurring print runs, ISO certification means the process is as reliable as the people running it.
