C&D Printing - A BR Company

What C&D Printing - A BR Company does

C&D Printing - A BR Company is a Denver, Colorado-based full-service commercial printing company operating from a 15,000 sqft all-in-house production facility at 550 E 76th Ave. The company provides offset, digital, large-format, and variable data printing alongside in-house graphic design, finishing, bindery, and mailing services with NCOA and CASS certifications, processing more than 10 million mail pieces annually. Its product catalog spans 25+ categories including business cards, brochures, catalogs, annual reports, postcards, posters, banners, manuals, newsletters, tickets, yard signs, t-shirts, trade show displays, and promotional products, with orderable quantities ranging from one to one million pieces. The firm positions itself as the only union print shop in Colorado with in-house mailing capabilities, affiliated with Teamsters District Council 2.

The business operates primarily through direct sales led by named Lead Account Managers serving enterprise clients, supplemented by inside sales for quotes and order processing, a self-serve e-commerce portal for SMB and individual orders, and a walk-in showroom. Customer segments span Fortune 1000 enterprises, Colorado SMBs, political campaigns, union organizations, and event planners/individuals; pricing is publicly listed on standard products (e.g., event programs, custom tickets, wedding invitations) on a quantity-tiered unit basis with pay-as-you-go billing, while custom quotes handle complex projects. Green printing (soy inks, vegetable-based inks, alcohol-free presses, chemistry-free plating, recycled papers) and WSPA Best in Show recognition (2014, 2015) are key differentiators.

The company was purchased by Steve and Marcia Larson in 1995 as a two-person print shop and was rebranded under the BR Company parent structure in 2026. Ownership remains with the Larson family with no external institutional investment disclosed; a named leadership team (CEO Steve Larson, President Marcia Larson, Lead Account Managers Darla Goehring and Michelle Galazka, and Records Management lead Lorraine Bowman) runs operations. Marketing is executed through an active blog, social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), local SEO targeting Colorado businesses, and industry association participation. No AI/ML, API, SDK, or software products are part of the offering.

Direct peers

• PrintPlace: Online commercial printing service offering business cards, brochures, postcards, banners, and booklets — a direct online competitor for many of C&D's SMB and mid-market product categories.
• 4Over: Online wholesale commercial printing platform serving trade resellers and agencies with offset and digital printing — comparable to C&D's commercial printing core but competes on price through trade-only positioning.
• Allegra Marketing Print Mail: Franchised network combining commercial printing, marketing services, and direct mail fulfillment — the closest national analogue to C&D's design-to-mail integrated offering for SMBs.
• Sir Speedy: Franchised printing and marketing services network providing commercial printing, signs, and direct mail — directly comparable in service mix and SMB/enterprise customer base to C&D Printing.
• AlphaGraphics: Franchised commercial printing network offering offset, digital, and large-format printing plus mailing and design services to SMB and enterprise customers — the closest direct peer to C&D's full-service model.

Emerging players

• MOO: Premium online printing brand focused on business cards, stationery, and marketing materials for SMBs and design-conscious buyers — overlaps with C&D's business card and stationery offerings at the premium end.
• Printfection: Promotional products and branded merchandise platform — overlaps with C&D's Casa Del Mar promotional products and apparel offering but distributes through a software-driven marketplace model.

Broad incumbents

• The UPS Store: Franchised retail network providing basic document printing, business cards, and signage as an add-on to shipping services — competes with C&D for SMB walk-in business on convenience rather than capability.
• Vistaprint: Online-focused mass-market printing platform specializing in business cards, marketing materials, and signage — competes with C&D primarily on price and convenience for SMB customers seeking standardized products.
• FedEx Office: National retail printing and shipping network offering document printing, banners, posters, and basic binding — overlaps with C&D on SMB walk-in and small-format printing needs but lacks the union certification and high-volume mailing niche.
