What ADPrint does

ADPrint, legally operated as Acme Printing, is a privately held commercial printing company founded in 2005 and headquartered at 96 Main St, Medway, Massachusetts, with 11-50 employees. The company provides a full-service print production stack spanning graphic design, offset and digital printing, letterpress, variable data printing, bindery and finishing, and CASS-certified mailing, serving regional and national customers. Its product catalog encompasses over 30 categories including business essentials (business cards, letterhead, envelopes, checks, carbonless forms), marketing collateral (brochures, flyers, postcards, newsletters, sell sheets), signage and large-format output (banners, posters, solid and corrugated signs), and advertising specialties, complemented by professional services in graphic design, marketing campaign support, and direct-mail execution.

The technology foundation combines conventional offset and digital print equipment with a proprietary e-commerce platform (adprintonline.com) that delivers online estimating, ordering, secure file upload, online proofing, branded customer portals with document libraries, order approval hierarchies, and reorder functionality. Variable data printing, PURLs, and one-to-one personalization extend into marketing workflow. Distribution occurs via local delivery, in-person pickup, and UPS shipping (next-day, three-day, five-day ground) across the US.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time transactional print orders (one-time/license model), with supplemental professional-services revenue from graphic design and mailing services. GTM is direct-to-consumer via the e-commerce storefront, supported by phone-based inside sales (508-533-7411) for custom quotes. Target segments are segmented horizontally across Start-up Businesses, Growing Businesses, Enterprise/Scaling Businesses, and Nonprofits. There is no evidence of external investment, parent ownership, or institutional backing; the company describes itself as locally owned and founder/family-controlled.
