Jones Printing Service

What Jones Printing Service does

Jones Printing Service, Inc. is a family-owned, full-service commercial printing agency headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia, serving the Hampton Roads region. Founded in 1975 by Montague 'Monty' Jones, Jr., the company is now in its third generation of family leadership, with Mark Jones serving as President. It offers an end-to-end suite of services spanning design, pre-press, offset printing, digital printing, wide format printing, die cutting, bindery and finishing, direct mail, and inventory fulfillment/warehousing — positioning itself as a single-provider branding and print partner for commercial clients requiring business cards, brochures, direct mail campaigns, signage, packaging, and other custom printed materials.

The company's production technology centers on capital-intensive printing equipment, notably a $3.5 million Komori GL840P Advance Offset Printing Press (installed September 2023) featuring UV inks, a perfecting unit for two-sided printing in one pass, and enhanced automation, alongside a Xerox Iridesse Production Press for variable-data digital work and additional Heidelberg presses. Pre-press is supported by Adobe Creative Suite and Fujifilm XMF Workflow. Its go-to-market is primarily sales-led, with direct outreach from a sales team led by Chief Sales Officer Charles Jones and VP Phil Jones-Harrison, complemented by an online cart page for smaller orders. Marketing channels include a corporate website, MailChimp e-newsletter, and organic social media on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.

Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-priced custom commercial printing contracts, plus recurring managed-services revenue from fulfillment/warehousing engagements and transaction-based direct mail services (addressing, inserting, EDDM, list acquisition, 24-hour print-and-mail). The company is privately held, reports no external institutional or PE ownership, and discloses no financial metrics. Its principal customer segment is regional commercial/business clients with print needs spanning branding, marketing collateral, and operational print materials.
