Printech

What Printech does

Printech is a privately held, full-service digital printing and manufacturing facility headquartered in Midtown Manhattan, founded in 1987 and led by Owner/President/CEO Frank Passantino. The company operates a 16,000 square foot production facility at 519 8th Avenue, having scaled from a 200 square foot copy shop. Its core business is producing commercial print and signage on demand, supported by in-house large format digital printers and CNC routers that enable precision cuts and complex dimensional signage beyond standard copy-shop output.

The product portfolio spans commodity print items (business cards, postcards, flyers, posters, canvas prints, stickers), large-format signage (grommet banners, foam board/Gator boards, wall vinyl, window vinyl, plexiglass signs, custom 3D signs), and bound or specialty formats (perfect bound books, catalogs/booklets, point of sale displays, wheatpasting installations). These products are wrapped with professional services including graphic design, post-print finishing (punching, binding, mounting, laminating), and on-site installation. Customers range from individual consumers and small businesses to enterprise accounts, with named logos concentrated in beauty/luxury retail (Sephora, Glossier, Ferragamo, Charles Tyrwhitt, St. John's, Fila, Messika, Dr. Barbara Sturm, Dr. Dennis Gross), financial services (Citi), healthcare and education (Mount Sinai, CUNY), and entertainment (New York Ballet/New York City Ballet, FAO Schwarz, Kim Kardashian).

The business model is primarily transactional B2C and B2B with a hybrid GTM: self-serve e-commerce for standardized items with fixed pricing on the Squarespace storefront, plus quote-based sales for custom and large-format work via phone (212.290.2542) and email ([email protected]). Revenue is generated from one-time product sales and professional services fees for design, finishing, and installation. The company accepts walk-in orders, offers same-day delivery in NYC, and ships worldwide; there is no minimum order quantity. The firm is privately held, with no disclosed funding, institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, partnerships, or M&A activity in the available data.
