Interstate Graphics

What Interstate Graphics does

Interstate Graphics, Inc. is a family-owned wide-format printing, finishing, and fulfillment company founded in 1985 and headquartered in Machesney Park, Illinois. The company operates exclusively on a trade-only B2B basis, serving display companies, marketing agencies, in-house brand teams, print brokers, sign shops, and distributors rather than end consumers. Its customer base includes a Fortune 500 retailer with a 30+ year relationship, a national display manufacturer with a 15+ year relationship, and a CPG-focused marketing agency, with white-label and blind-ship fulfillment embedded in the model. Revenue mechanics are quote-based (one-day turnaround) with Net 30 terms, no minimum order quantities, and per-project unit pricing across custom printing plus ancillary professional-services revenue from warehousing, kitting, and nationwide distribution. The competitive proposition centers on 100% in-house production under one roof with no outsourcing or brokering.

The company's production stack spans UV flatbed and roll-to-roll digital printing (Inca Onset X3 HS at 15,500 ft²/hr, Vutek H5 to 126" width at 1,200 dpi, HP Latex 365, Canon Colorado 1650), industrial-grade screen printing with UV cure (M&R Insignia 6-color, M&R Conquest, Sakurai cylinder presses), and sheet-fed commercial digital printing (Konica Minolta AccurioPress). Finishing includes die-cutting, laminating, mounting, CNC routing, and full structural assembly for POP displays. A 10,000 sq ft in-house warehouse supports pick-and-pack, kitting, JIT delivery, and nationwide shipping to all 50 US states. Differentiating credentials include G7 Master Facility color certification (Idealliance), SGP sustainability certification, and OSHA-compliant safety signage production, alongside 2024 placement on the Wide-Format Impressions 150 list of top providers.
