What B&B Print Source does

B&B Print Source is a privately-held, locally-owned commercial printing and packaging company founded in 1987 and headquartered in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area (Tigard/Portland). The company operates two facilities — a main production plant at 9040 SW Burnham St and a large-format graphics and fulfillment center at 9920 SW Tigard St — and employs more than 60 staff. It serves as a single-source provider of print, packaging, mail, signage, apparel, and fulfillment services to Pacific Northwest companies, non-profits, manufacturers, and community organizations.

The company's product portfolio spans nine integrated service lines: offset and digital printing on two KBA 41-inch high-speed presses and a Xerox Iridesse digital press; high-quality paperboard packaging including folding cartons, point-of-sale displays, and inserts; signage and large-format graphics via two Canon Arizona UV flatbed presses; end-to-end direct mail services with CASS/NCOA certification; promotional items and corporate apparel through a dedicated ecommerce storefront; climate-controlled inventory management, kitting, and fulfillment for 40+ companies storing 2,000+ SKUs; in-house bindery and finishing (die-cutting, foil stamping, laser cutting, perfect binding); project engineering and prepress design services; and custom ecommerce portals supporting print-on-demand and warehouse fulfillment. The proprietary B&B Mail+ platform packages direct mail with up to 13 digital follow-on channels, including SocialMatch, LEADMatch, QR codes, Informed Delivery, call/text tracking, YouTube Ads, and Addressable Geo, and is offered in tiered bundles (Lite, +Plus, Political Power Up, Target Match).

B&B generates revenue primarily through project-based, quote-driven commercial printing contracts, supplemented by recurring managed services (inventory management, kitting) and subscription ecommerce portal fees. Go-to-market is sales-led through a named team of seven account managers covering the Pacific Northwest region, complemented by an online estimate request system promising 24-hour response and a self-serve file upload portal. The company has been self-funded and organically grown over 37 years, has won multiple PrintROCKS! and Premier Print (Benny) awards, received the 2024 BRAG sustainability certification, and maintains a diversified customer base across healthcare, financial services, hospitality, food and beverage, education, construction, automotive, and non-profit segments.

Core offering

B&B Print Source is a Portland-based commercial printing and branding company that produces offset and digital printing, paperboard packaging, large format and environmental graphics, direct mail (including its B&B Mail+ omnichannel platform), branded promotional items and apparel, bindery/finishing, secure inventory and kitting/fulfillment, design/prepress services, and custom ecommerce storefronts. It serves Pacific Northwest companies, non-profits, manufacturers, and community organizations with quote-based, account-managed production from two Oregon facilities.

Product overview

B&B Print Source is a full-service print and branding company operating as a single unified service portfolio rather than a modular platform. The offering is organized around nine integrated service lines: offset and digital printing (via KBA and Xerox Iridesse presses), high-quality packaging, signage and large format graphics, direct mail services (including the proprietary B&B Mail+ omnichannel automation platform), promotional items and corporate apparel, inventory management and fulfillment, bindery and finishing, project engineering and design, and ecommerce solutions. These services are designed to function independently or be combined—direct mail pairs with B&B Mail+ for omnichannel amplification, packaging projects flow through project engineering and bindery, and ecommerce portals integrate with fulfillment and inventory management. The company also offers supporting resources including sample galleries, prepress checklists, file preparation guides, and design templates.

Broad incumbents

• Cenveo: Diversified North American commercial printer providing print, packaging, labels, and direct marketing services. Comparable to B&B across commercial print, packaging, and direct mail but serves enterprise customers nationally rather than regionally.
• TC Transcontinental: Canadian-headquartered printing and packaging major with US operations covering commercial print, flexible packaging, direct mail, and in-store marketing solutions. Overlaps directly with B&B's offset/digital, packaging, and direct mail capabilities at a much larger, publicly-traded scale.
• Donnelley Financial Solutions (formerly RR Donnelley commercial print): Legacy commercial printing and communications services provider with broad print, packaging, and direct mail capabilities. Comparable to B&B as a multi-service commercial print competitor with much larger national scale and broader customer base.
• Quad/Graphics: Large US commercial printer offering offset/digital print, packaging, direct mail, and signage at national scale. Comparable to B&B on full-service commercial print and packaging but operates at vastly larger scale across multiple geographies.

Direct peers

• Heeter: Pennsylvania-based commercial printing and direct mail services company with digital print, bindery, and fulfillment. Comparable to B&B on integrated commercial print, direct mail, and finishing at a similar private mid-market scale.
• Fey Printing: Wisconsin-based commercial printer offering offset, digital, large format, direct mail, packaging, and fulfillment. Comparable to B&B as a similarly sized mid-market private printer with full-service print, mail, and finishing capabilities.
• Walsworth Publishing: Family-owned US commercial printer and publisher producing books, magazines, catalogs, and commercial print with in-house bindery and finishing. Closely mirrors B&B's offset/digital print + bindery + finishing model at a similar mid-market private scale.
• Classic Color: Mid-market commercial printer providing offset, digital, large format, and finishing with sustainability emphasis. Overlaps with B&B's offset/digital/large-format core and BRAG-style sustainability positioning for brand and agency customers.
• Sandy Alexander: Mid-Atlantic commercial printer offering offset/digital print, large-format graphics, direct mail, packaging, and fulfillment under one roof. Closely parallels B&B's nine-service integrated model and similar mid-market enterprise customer focus.
