What Moss Printing does

Moss Printing is a privately held, locally owned commercial printing and graphic design business founded in 1969 in Mission, Kansas, and acquired by current owner Jose Ramirez in 2010. The company operates two physical storefronts — the original Mission, KS location and a second site branded Moss 2.0 in Merriam, Kansas — and serves small and medium-sized businesses, local government, and individual consumers in the Johnson County and Kansas City metro area. Its product portfolio spans business cards, envelopes, letterhead, postcards, brochures, banners and signs, books, wedding invitations, bookmarks, magnets, labels, stickers, memos, greeting cards, and promotional items, executed on a combination of digital and offset printing machinery with in-house finishing and bindery services.

The business is built around three integrated service lines: core print production, graphic design billed at a flat $40 per hour, and advertising services including web design, direct mail, brand management, QR codes, and variable data solutions. Revenue is generated on a pay-as-you-go, unit-priced basis for the e-commerce shop and quote-based terms for custom and wholesale orders, with no subscription or recurring contract model. Distribution combines walk-in retail, a self-serve e-commerce site with file upload and online design tools, phone-based quoting, and a wholesale channel for bulk and reseller orders. Marketing is primarily local and low-cost, relying on Facebook and LinkedIn presence, a 2016-2018 blog, an opt-in email newsletter, and word-of-mouth referrals, with the City of Mission named as a disclosed government client.

The company has no disclosed institutional investors, no funding rounds, no patents, no API or platform technology, and no AI or automation capabilities in evidence. Headcount is 1-10, and ownership is concentrated in the founder/operator, making Moss Printing a traditional Main Street print and design services business with a regional rather than scalable economic profile.
