Marketplace Printing

What Marketplace Printing does

Marketplace Printing is a privately held local commercial print shop established in 2005 and headquartered at 2820 Lassiter Road, Suite A100, Marietta, Georgia, serving the greater Atlanta metropolitan area. The company produces 50+ categories of printed materials — including banners and signage, booklets, catalogs, brochures, flyers, postcards, business cards, menus, calendars, invitations, posters, envelopes, playbills, newsletters, door hangers, and multi-part forms/reports — for small businesses, churches, K-12 schools, event organizers, trade shows, conferences, restaurants, and political campaigns.

The underlying production capability is traditional offset and digital printing with no disclosed proprietary technology, proprietary software platform, API, mobile app, or AI/ML components. Order intake runs exclusively through direct channels — phone (770.664.0777), email ([email protected]), or the company website's quote request form — and finished jobs are picked up or locally delivered. The company explicitly contrasts its model with big-box chains and online-only printers, emphasizing in-person guidance on file preparation and paper selection.

Revenue mechanics are transactional: each job is custom-priced via a free quote on a pay-as-you-go basis, with the company stating it will match or beat competitor quotes. There is no subscription, retainer, SaaS, licensing, or platform revenue component. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no parent entity, no management team listed in the source data, and no published financial figures; firmographic data indicates 11–50 employees and a single U.S. location.
