International Printing

What International Printing does

International Printing (IPC) is a privately held commercial printing company founded in 1988 and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona at 2241 S 7th St. The company operates from a single 20,000+ square foot facility that supports high-volume production, materials storage, and finished-goods warehousing for its customers. Its service mix is built around two lines: a general commercial printing offering for statements, envelopes, brochures, and inserts, and a vertically specialized Direct Mail Cooperative launched in 1988 that runs continuous donor acquisition and renewal campaigns for hospital foundations and non-profit organizations.

The company's core technology stack is conventional commercial print production augmented by a HIPAA-aligned data handling layer (opt-out language, NCOA control, secure data encryption) that qualifies it for healthcare foundation work, where donor data often overlaps with protected health information. Customer file submission is handled through a third-party secure upload portal powered by ImageTime, while invoice payment runs on PrintReach Central with a 3% credit/debit fee and zero ACH fees. The Direct Mail Cooperative offers two standardized product formats — Format One (two-color, cost-effective, window-envelope letter designed to mimic official hospital correspondence) and Format Two (full-color branded variant with photos and logos) — plus in-house design and copy services.

The business model is primarily transactional and quote-based: customers request quotes via phone or website, submit files and mailing lists through the secure portal, and pay on invoice. Revenue streams include one-time commercial print jobs, cooperative direct mail campaign execution, and payment processing transaction fees. Go-to-market is sales-led, with direct phone outreach to enterprise and mid-market customers, website as the top-of-funnel channel, and a niche cooperative marketing program targeting healthcare and non-profit verticals. The company shows no AI/ML capabilities, no disclosed funding, and operates exclusively in the United States with a regional Arizona focus.
