What Imagekrafters does

ImageKrafters Inc. is a privately held large format printing company headquartered in Long Island, New York, founded in 2006 by Cliff Krauter (Founder and President). The company operates with 1-10 employees and specializes in digital and offset printing of large format graphics — banners, posters, signage, and event-related print products — for businesses, nonprofits, political campaigns, and event organizers throughout the United States.

Its core technology stack is conventional commercial printing equipment combined with an online self-serve ordering system that supports product selection, file upload, real-time job tracking, and custom quote requests. The company is an Adobe Creative Cloud Partner, indicating workflow compatibility with mainstream design software, and offers free basic design setup on many products alongside a 100% print quality guarantee with 30-day refunds. The product catalog spans roughly 30 SKUs across rigid signage (poster boards, PVC boards, lawn signs), flexible signage (vinyl banners, wind flags, retractable stands), window/wall graphics, business essentials (cards, brochures, folders), specialty items (novelty checks, tablecloths), and branded promotional products (apparel, tumblers, vehicle magnets).

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time, project-based custom print orders priced via individual quotes or self-serve online ordering with no disclosed subscription or recurring contract model. Go-to-market is direct-to-customer through the company website, supplemented by phone and live chat support, an email/SMS subscription channel, and a Twitter presence. Distribution is exclusively direct (no resellers), with nationwide U.S. shipping enabled by custom protective packaging for rigid goods. Customer concentration is low and transactional, with a named vertical-specific program for YMCA branches signaling modest vertical penetration beyond the SMB long tail.
