What CR Print does

CR Print is a privately held commercial printing company headquartered in Westlake Village, California, serving primarily small and mid-sized businesses in the Ventura County and Conejo Valley region. Founded in 1983 as a quick print shop in Canoga Park, the company operates a hybrid production model combining traditional Heidelberg offset presses (SM-52-5-PL) with modern digital production equipment (Heidelberg Versafire EP, Xerox D110), Mimaki JFX200 flatbed wide-format printing, and HP 800w Latex roll-fed printing. Its product portfolio spans digital and offset printing, large format graphics, direct mail services (including EDDM), in-house mailing and fulfillment, graphic design, web design, email campaigns, and custom branded web-to-print portals for corporate accounts. The company maintains end-to-end in-house capabilities including pre-press, production, finishing, and postal optimization with Neopost/Hasler inserters and Astro Jet addressing systems.

The business is family-owned, having transitioned in 2012 from founders Ed Corridori and Jim Friedl to their sons Mike Corridori, David Corridori, and David Friedl, who collectively bring over 60 years of industry experience. Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-based custom quotations for individual print and mail jobs, supplemented by recurring relationships through web-to-print portals and inventory/fulfillment managed services for clients with ongoing needs. The go-to-market is sales-led with phone/email outreach, complemented by self-serve web ordering and SEO-driven inbound inquiries. Customer segments span general business, political campaigns, restaurants, and marketing/advertising agencies, with no disclosed enterprise anchor clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; jobs are quoted based on quantity, paper specifications, print method, finishes, and turnaround.

The company operates with 11-50 employees from a single Westlake Village facility and has remained privately held with no institutional investment, acquisitions, or geographic expansion beyond its Southern California base. There are no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, patents, certifications, or formal partnerships; competitive advantage is rooted in operational integration, experienced personnel, and web-to-print tooling rather than proprietary technology or data assets.
