American Press

Company Overview

American Press specializes in the printing and distribution of magazines and catalogs. We have just about everything the mega-printers have with one notable exception: the headaches brought on by giant size. We are technologically up to date and sound, and innovative in finding customized solutions for our customers.

People are naturally more comfortable working with someone more their own size and with American Press there’s an added bonus: we listen because you are indeed important to us. Still family-owned, American Press enjoys its niche of serving mid-to-long run publishers and catalogers who produce from one to several titles — those who may feel ill at ease working with printers who are bigger than necessary.

AP has first-class customer service to ensure that customers get the help they deserve to do their jobs properly — high touch to go along with high tech.

Primary Goal

American Press’ prime mission is to help you. We do this best by providing our customers with outstanding service, technology and value–added ideas to better serve their own customers — their readers, advertisers and end users. If something doesn’t go right we fix it, get the work out first, and then worry about causes and consequences. To American Press, partnership is not an overused word. It fits because it’s right. And it’s right because it fits.

Primary Services

American Press offers exceptional premedia technology and service, with expert training by phone or at your doorstep, Kodak InSite for file transport and for ongoing, remote and interactive checking of your files, and stochastic and conventional screening. Additionally, American Press can repurpose your files for online and other platform uses.

We have the largest 4/C press in the market, capable of 72 4/C pages in one pass (or 96 pages of 4/C for “slim jims”). We offer inline UV and single and double gatefolds on our 5/C cover press; two 32 page 4/C presses with closed-loop color, with one of these doubling as a 64 page one- or two-color press.

American Press provides perfect binding and selective saddle binding. Additional services include on-staff design, mail list processing and list analysis for best-practice distribution, in-line inside/outside inkjet addressing, firm-bundling, drop-shipping, palletization, newsstand distribution and co-mail services.
