What Vintage does

Vintage Print and Distribution (DBA Vintage) is a privately held, founder/management-owned print management, fulfillment, and direct mail services company headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. Founded in 1982 as a regional business forms distributor, the company has evolved over 40+ years into a multi-service marketing services provider serving enterprise and mid-market clients in banking, financial services, retail/energy, and adjacent verticals. Named logos include Republic Bank, Axcess Financial, Thorntons Inc., Churchill Downs, and Roto-Rooter.

The core platform is a web-based Print Management system that centralizes ordering, customization, online proofing, warehousing, fulfillment, distribution, and summary billing across multiple product categories. Supporting offerings include Custom Printing Solutions (dynamic/variable data printing with QR codes, point-of-sale printing, custom packaging), Mailing and Fulfillment Services (direct mail, inkjet imaging, intelligent machine inserting, hand assembly), VFI Statement Processing (document and statement processing), Corporate Promotion and Apparel (branded merchandise, trade show items, corporate gifting), Wide Format Printing and Signage, and a stock Packaging Products catalog of over 20,000 SKUs. Technology is a hybrid of internal digital printing capacity plus regional manufacturing partners, with SOC 2 Type 2 certification.

Vintage generates revenue through managed print services, transactional fees on variable data and dynamic printing jobs, sale of corporate promotional products and apparel, and hardware-style sales of stock packaging supplies. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the go-to-market motion is consultative enterprise field sales supported by inside sales specialists, supplemented by self-serve web ordering and online catalog portals (promoplace.com, companycasuals.com). The company operates four facilities (three in Louisville, one in Erlanger, KY), employs 50+ people, and is led by President William Fust with Greg Engle as CFO and Kelli Brutscher as VP of Systems & IT.
