Print Bind Ship

What Print Bind Ship does

Print Bind Ship is a privately held, single-site 3PL and commercial printing provider headquartered at 6000 Pardee Rd in Taylor, Michigan. The company offers end-to-end order fulfillment — warehousing, pick/pack/ship, returns processing, kitting, and worldwide shipping — combined with in-house manufacturing capabilities that include digital and offset printing via an HP Indigo 7800 Digital Printing Press, multiple book binding formats (saddle stitch, perfect bound, spiral, wire-O, case bound), large-format signage, and direct-mail production. Adjacent service lines include apparel and book print-on-demand, subscription-box fulfillment, vitamins/supplements fulfillment, AI-generated handwritten cards, and a DataShopper retargeting partnership.

The technology stack centers on the proprietary PBS Portal for inventory, order, tracking, and returns management, supplemented by a documented REST API and native integrations with Amazon, Shopify, WooCommerce, TikTok, Walmart, Magento, Etsy, Instagram, ClickFunnels, and ClickBank, enabling automated order ingestion from essentially all major SMB eCommerce stacks. Operations are delivered through a sales-led GTM with API-first onboarding, an inside-sales quote function, and an affiliate program; marketing is primarily content-driven via the company website and platform-specific SEO pages.

The business model is transaction- and subscription-based: per-order pick/pack fees ($1.50 + $0.25/item), usage-based shipping rates, monthly storage charges ($20/pallet, $10/shelf, $4.50/large bin, $2.50/small bin), and project-based professional services ($45–$125/hour). Customer segments are intentionally horizontal — SMB eCommerce merchants, self-published authors and small publishers, marketplace sellers, subscription-box companies, and commercial marketing buyers — with no named enterprise anchor accounts disclosed. The firm is founder-/management-owned, bootstrapped (no funding rounds or institutional investors disclosed), and references "over 5 decades" of combined operational experience.
