A commercial printing powerhouse, built one job at a time.
Printing Partners is one of the largest commercial printers in Indiana. Founded in 1989 and based at 929 W 16th Street in Indianapolis, we employ 115 full time professionals and produced $24.9 million in print in 2025. We run offset, digital, computer to plate, direct mail, and finishing inside a single 55,000 square foot plant, which means most projects are quoted, produced, and shipped without ever leaving our control. In one recent political mailing, we produced and mailed 26 million pieces in 60 days.
The Plant Floor
Capability you can put a spec sheet to.
Scale is not a slogan here, it is iron on the floor. We invest in name brand presses and run them across multiple shifts, which is how a job the size of a national mailing and a job the size of a single board meeting both get printed right.

What 115 people and nearly $25 million in print put into your job.
Depth that protects your deadline
Multiple presses and multiple shifts mean a press going down does not become your problem. There is almost always another route to your in hands date inside this building.
Color you can certify
G7 Master Colorspace qualification and ISO 9001:2015 workflows mean your brand color is your brand color, on a digital short run today and an offset run of 100,000 next quarter.
Mail and finishing in house
Bindery, finishing, and a full mailing operation live under the same roof as the presses. One team plans postage and logistics into your quote, which protects both your in home date and your budget.
An owner you can actually reach
For all the scale, this is still a family company. The people who own it work in the building, and a hard job can get the owner's attention the same day. That is rare at our size.
Family Owned & Operated
115 professionals. One family accountable for all of it.
The scale is real, and so is the family. Printing Partners is owned and run by the O'Briens, who are on the floor and on the phones every day, and more than 100 seasoned professionals stand behind them. We are not run by a holding company or a private equity group, and that ownership is the reason quality never gets traded away to hit a number.

The O'Briens own it, but Printing Partners runs on families. Married couples work side by side here, and some of our longest tenured people are brothers and sisters. Most of the floor has made a career of this craft, and the job is simple: make the next person's work easier. That mix, family ownership on top of a deep professional bench, is what lets us run like a large printer and answer like a small one.
What clients say
We appreciate the care, attention to detail, and professionalism you consistently provide.
