What Mpress does

MPress is a privately held commercial printing company headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, operating from a 35,000 square foot production facility at 4100 Howard Avenue. Founded in 2006, the company runs a second production site — MPress West in McKinney, Texas — and employs 101–250 people, including a notably long-tenured workforce averaging 13.14 years of service. It serves SMBs, mid-market, and enterprise customers across at least nine verticals including general business, conventions and events, banking, healthcare, political campaigns, non-profits, education, hospitality, and personal events/weddings.

The core offering is an integrated print-to-fulfillment stack spanning prepress, offset lithographic and digital (including variable-data) printing, large/wide format, letterpress and foil, envelope, and folding-carton/package printing. Production is anchored by a Komori offset press rated at 13,000 sheets per hour, supported by G7 and GRACOL color certifications, FSC Mix paper sourcing, and an in-house ink manufacturing capability that enables custom Pantone matching. Downstream of the press, MPress performs bindery and finishing (cutting, folding, binding, foil stamping, die cutting, embossing, lamination), direct mail and EDDM services, fulfillment and warehousing, and regional delivery. Technology differentiators include the MPress XPress branded portal — integrated with customer e-commerce systems for inventory management and next-day re-order fulfillment — and contract color proofing using a G7-certified Epson wide-format printer.

The business model is project-based and quote-driven, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers or subscriptions. Revenue is generated across four streams: core commercial printing (one-time project fees), bindery/finishing (professional services add-ons bundled with print), direct mail (transactional per-piece fees with postage coordination), and managed fulfillment/warehousing (recurring storage and pick-and-pack fees through MPress XPress). Go-to-market is sales-led via an inside sales team with named account representatives, supported by a quote-request workflow, online file upload, and Clover-based online payment. The company processed roughly 6,589 jobs for 983 customers in 2025, and serves as the printer behind local creative collaborations such as fine-art reproductions for New Orleans artist Terrance Osborne and regional Coca-Cola/Barq's Mardi Gras campaign work. No external investors, parent company, or funding rounds are disclosed for MPress (mpressnow.com); a separately owned entity named Mpress of Kansas City was acquired by Modern Litho in November 2025 and is distinct from the New Orleans-based MPress.
