What Print Group does

Print Group Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned full-service commercial printing company established in 2003 in Ozark, Missouri, by Jay Wacha alongside twelve industry professionals. The company operates from a single headquarters and production facility at 1440 W. Skyline Ave. and employs between 11 and 50 people. It runs four primary printing technologies under one roof: sheet-fed offset on six-color Heidelberg Speedmaster presses with in-line aqueous coating; digital printing on Xerox presses with variable data capability; flexographic printing for labels, tags, and stickers on a convertible conventional/digital press; and wide format printing using Acuity (Fujififlm) flatbed UV printers, Mutoh roll printers, and a Multicam flatbed cutter/router. Supporting capabilities include G7/GRACOL 7 color calibration, a creative and prepress design department, and a full-service mailing department with USPS-certified Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) status, list acquisition, address-correction software, and drop-ship fulfillment. The company also offers custom digital storefronts for franchise and multi-location customers.

Print Group generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven transactions across multiple revenue streams: commercial printing (offset, digital, flexographic), wide format signage and display graphics, custom labels and tags (including freezer, meat packing, thermal transfer, and shelf merchandising labels), mailing services, and creative/design services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is delivered through phone, email, and website quote requests on a pay-as-you-go basis. Go-to-market is sales-led with a dedicated customer support team handling enterprise accounts via phone, email, and in-person consultations, supplemented by a website with service descriptions, flipbook brochures, quote forms, and active social media presence on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Primary customer segments are grocery and retail stores (family-owned, corporate-owned, and distribution companies), colleges, universities and school districts, manufacturing and industrial clients, and tourism/travel organizations (chambers of commerce and convention and visitors bureaus). Secondary segments include government entities, healthcare organizations, political campaigns, churches, and realtors, primarily for direct mail work.

The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed outside funding or parent entity. Strategic direction since founding has emphasized vertical and capability expansion: digital press services were added in 2009, wide format printing and sign manufacturing in 2010 (after which the Springfield Business Journal named it the fifth largest mailing company in the region), and ongoing product line extensions into specialty labels, retail merchandising items, and digital storefronts. Geographic reach is concentrated in the Midwest United States but extends to regional and national customers in the grocery distribution segment.
