What Park Printing does

Park Printing, Inc. is a family-owned commercial printing company founded in 1979 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, now operating from an 80,000-square-foot facility on a 3.5-acre site in Northeast Minneapolis. The company provides end-to-end print production services spanning six product categories (commercial print, litho labels, marketing materials, packaging, point-of-purchase displays, and signs and graphics) and six service modules (prepress, printing, finishing, kitting and fulfillment, mailing, and web-to-print storefronts). Production is built around a multi-technology press fleet including KBA 41-inch and 64-inch UV offset presses, a Kodak NexPress Eco2500 digital press, an Agfa Jeti 3020 Titan UV flatbed, HP 3100 latex wide-format printers, and a Zund digital cutter, with G7 Master Printer certification governing color consistency.

Revenue mechanics are project-based and quote-driven rather than subscription or SaaS-based, although web-to-print storefronts provide a recurring channel for ongoing collateral management. Go-to-market is sales-led and B2B, with dedicated project managers as single points of contact from design through fulfillment, supporting an enterprise field-sales motion targeting packaging companies, retail entities, product manufacturers, ad agencies, and distributors. Reported customer outcomes include 25+ year average client retention and an annual capacity of 48 million printed sheets and 60,000 kitted units; the customer base includes Target Corporation, Wilson Tool, Kaplan Real Estate Education, E.A. Sween (Deli Express), HOM Furniture, Summit Brewing, and the University of Minnesota.

The company is privately held by the Koloski family across three generations (founder Bud Koloski, co-owners Tim and Mike Koloski, and their sons who joined in 2013 and 2019), with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or institutional investment. Revenue, detailed headcount, and ownership percentages are not publicly disclosed, and the business is positioned as a relationship-driven regional printer with national-brand reach rather than a national-scale platform.
