Mercury Print Productions Inc

What Mercury Print Productions Inc does

Mercury Print Productions, Inc. is a privately held, full-service commercial printing company headquartered in Rochester, New York, operating continuously since 1968. The company provides offset printing (Heidelberg Speedmaster XL75, Manroland), digital printing (a fleet of five Kodak Prosper printers including a 2023-installed Prosper 7000 Turbo), binding and finishing, packaging, mailing/variable-data services, and fulfillment from a 100,000+ sq. ft. warehouse. Its customer base is concentrated in four verticals — Education, Healthcare, Retail, and Financial — with named enterprise accounts including Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, Walmart (Snapfish), Nautica, HMH, and Sunovion, served from a single facility with global shipping via major carriers.

The company's distinguishing layer is eMerx, a proprietary production, fulfillment, and shipping management platform originated in 2008 and continuously evolved since. eMerx connects directly to customer ordering systems via Salesforce, FTP, direct system access, and listener pages, and links to presses so that incoming orders are typically print-ready within 3-5 minutes. Adjacent software offerings include Web2Print storefronts (24/7 online ordering with InDesign Server-driven personalization) and variable-data printing powered by Adobe Creative Suite, XMPie, and USPS address verification. These tools enable data-driven, on-demand personalized print for marketing, financial reporting, and educational materials.

Mercury's go-to-market is enterprise field sales — direct engagement with mid-market and enterprise customers across the four verticals — with custom, quote-based pricing and a mix of transaction-fee revenue (printing, fulfillment, mailing), managed services (eMerx integration), and recurring revenue (Web2Print storefronts). The company is led by President Christian Schamberger and was recognized as a 2019 Best-in-Class Innovator by Printing Impressions. There are no disclosed investors, funding rounds, or parent entities, indicating closely-held ownership.
