Mallard Printing

What Mallard Printing does

Mallard Printing, Inc. is a privately held commercial printing company founded in 1998 and headquartered at 657 Quarry Street, Fall River, Massachusetts. The firm operates from a 16,000-square-foot facility that combines production, warehouse, and office space, employing a staff with over 100 years of combined graphic design, marketing, and printing experience. The company serves a horizontal mix of general commercial clients in the New England region, including businesses needing business cards, brochures, marketing collateral, direct mail, promotional products, and apparel decoration.

The service portfolio spans the full production workflow: graphic design, digital printing, offset printing, in-house large format printing, in-house embroidery, full-service bindery, mailing services, warehouse storage, a consignment inventory program, and promotional products sourced through a separate ESP-branded storefront. Underlying technology is conventional prepress and print production — offset, digital, and large-format presses, plus embroidery and bindery finishing — with no disclosed software platform, AI tooling, or proprietary automation. The digital ordering flow is enabled through a third-party MyOrderDesk self-serve portal and ShareFile-based file upload, while quotes are captured via a structured web form that records job specifications, quantity tiers, color mode, stock weight, and due date.

The business model is transactional and project-based. Revenue is generated from one-off print jobs priced per quote based on quantity, finish size, color, and stock, supplemented by professional services revenue from graphic design, mailing, and warehouse/consignment work. Go-to-market is inside sales, executed through toll-free and local phone lines, the online quote form, the self-serve ordering portal, and walk-in traffic at the Fall River facility. Marketing is limited to organic social media on LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter/X, and Facebook, plus the company website. The firm is bootstrapped and founder-owned, with no disclosed institutional capital, subsidiaries, or M&A history.
