Alexander Clark Printing

What Alexander Clark Printing does

Alexander Clark Printing (ACP) is an employee-owned, privately held commercial printing company founded in 1972 and headquartered in Boise, Idaho, with a satellite sales office in Twin Falls. The company operates a single-source printing model for Idaho business customers, producing business forms and documents, marketing materials (brochures, booklets, presentation folders, flyers), envelopes, custom labels, promotional products, direct mail pieces, and custom packaging, supplemented by workflow management, warehousing, fulfillment, and electronic prepress services.

Its production platform combines traditional offset printing (2570 dpi), digital printing (1200 dpi with personalization), and a Sanden UV Web Press — the only one of its kind in Idaho — which uses VOC-free UV inks that cure under UV light rather than air-drying. Finishing capabilities include die-cutting, aqueous coating, digital personalization, press proofing, and a shell-based reorder system backed by an online ordering portal and Hightail file-transfer integration.

ACP sells primarily through a direct, sales-led engagement model with project-based quote pricing rather than publicly listed rate cards. Revenue streams are transaction-based across the product portfolio, with additional managed-services revenue from workflow design, fulfillment, document management, and USPS-certified direct mail (CASS/NOCA). The customer base is horizontally diversified across Idaho SMBs and includes healthcare organizations and marketing departments, with no disclosed enterprise-anchor concentration. The company maintains a content-marketing presence through its ACP Blog, email newsletter, and LinkedIn, and operates within the United States only.
