What PrintRunner.com does

PrintRunner.com is a US-based online commercial printing platform founded in 2000 and headquartered in Chatsworth, California, operating with 51-100 employees under CEO Mike Zaya. The company sells custom printed products — labels (cut-to-size, roll, kiss-cut, sheet, waterproof), stickers, business cards, postcards, flyers, brochures, banners, signage, hang tags, booklets, custom packaging, apparel, and promotional items — primarily to small and medium businesses across real estate, retail, restaurant, healthcare, and cannabis verticals, with a self-serve e-commerce site at printrunner.com as the sole sales channel.

The underlying platform combines a product configuration calculator (real-time per-unit pricing across materials, sizes, quantities, and turnarounds), a browser-based design tool, and an automated preflight file review service that checks artwork for print compatibility before production. Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) one-time transactional unit-based sales of catalog SKUs with quantity discounts, (2) custom quotes for large or non-standard orders negotiated by phone, and (3) paid professional design services and ancillary direct mail services (CASS-certified, USPS-processed). Distribution is exclusively online — a US-domestic e-commerce storefront supported by SEO, content marketing, email, and 24/5 phone support — with no API, no mobile app, and no international footprint claimed.

The business is independently operated with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or funding rounds; the input indicates a bootstrapped, organic-growth model. The company claims 25 years of industry experience and over 400,000 cumulative completed orders, with named users that include Google, Amazon, Kaiser, Square, Keller Williams, and Aramark, alongside a long-tail SMB base. Strategic emphasis is on catalog breadth, vertical specialization (notably cannabis packaging), and repeat-order workflow tools (saved designs, mailing lists, customer portal) rather than on technology differentiation.
