CP Printing & Century Calendars

What CP Printing & Century Calendars does

CP Printing & Century Calendars is a family-owned commercial printing company headquartered in a single facility at 11631 Seaboard Circle in Stanton, California, serving primarily the local Orange County and broader Southern California market. The company operates a full-service print production operation spanning commercial offset and digital printing, bindery and finishing (collating, folding, laminating, cutting, stitching, binding, die-cutting, embossing, foil stamping), graphic design, direct mail marketing, and postal mailing services that include CASS certification, NCOA validation, postal presorting, and postage discounts. Its flagship product line is the Century Calendars brand — wall, desktop, desk pad, and magnet calendars — alongside an extensive catalog of standard commercial print items (business cards, brochures, booklets, postcards, envelopes, letterhead, flyers, carbonless forms, banners, signs, packaging, promotional items, apparel, and engineering/architectural prints) and add-on services such as letterpress, variable data printing, and online proofing.

The business runs a proprietary e-commerce platform (cpprinting.net) that supports instant online pricing for standard catalog items, online estimating and ordering, file uploading, online proofing with email notification, customer portals, and a reorder forms library for recurring jobs. The underlying technology base is conventional offset and digital printing equipment with in-house finishing capabilities, paired with standard web technologies for the storefront. Marketing is led through "The Ideas Collection" content resource, which publishes design, marketing, print, and technology tips as a top-of-funnel acquisition channel. The company maintains a stated 2026 copyright and active product catalogs, indicating ongoing operational status with no public signals of distress.

CP Printing generates revenue through a combination of one-time product sales (printed goods) and professional services (design, finishing, mailing, marketing), with pricing handled primarily via custom quotes supplemented by instant online pricing for standard items. The customer base is horizontally segmented between local small-to-medium businesses (requiring business stationery, marketing materials, and direct mail) and retail consumers (purchasing custom calendars, wedding invitations, greeting cards, and announcements). The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, subsidiaries, funding history, or revenue figures.

Direct peers

• MOO: MOO is an online-first commercial printer specializing in premium business cards, postcards, and marketing materials with a strong design aesthetic. While national in reach, it competes for the same SMB and consumer printing budgets as CP Printing, particularly on premium products.
• Minuteman Press International: Minuteman Press is a franchise-based commercial printing network offering business cards, brochures, direct mail, and design services to local markets. It is one of the closest structural peers — local full-service print shops serving SMBs — competing head-to-head with CP Printing in similar geographies.
• 4over Inc. 4over is a wholesale trade printer offering commercial printing services to print brokers, agencies, and resellers. While it sells through a B2B trade channel rather than direct-to-consumer, it competes for the same underlying print jobs and competes with CP Printing for reseller-driven business in California.
• AlphaGraphics: AlphaGraphics is a franchised commercial printing and marketing services brand providing design, print, signage, and direct mail to SMBs. Its franchise model and service mix closely mirror CP Printing's value proposition of full-service local print solutions.
• Sir Speedy: Sir Speedy is a printing and marketing services franchise offering copying, printing, signs, and direct mail to local businesses. Operationally similar to CP Printing — local service centers with broad product portfolios — making it a direct comparable for benchmarking and competitive overlap.
• PrintingForLess: PrintingForLess is an online commercial printer focused on direct mail, brochures, and marketing materials. As a web-first commercial printer serving SMBs nationwide, it competes with CP Printing on digitally-sourced print jobs where local pickup is not required.
• FedEx Office: FedEx Office (formerly Kinko's) operates nationwide retail printing centers offering copies, binding, signage, and direct mail services. It competes with CP Printing for walk-in SMB and consumer printing demand, though at a national scale rather than local Stanton focus.
• Cimpress (Vistaprint): Cimpress owns Vistaprint and is the largest online commercial printing platform globally. It directly competes with CP Printing on business cards, postcards, brochures, and marketing materials via a mass-scale web-to-print model, though it lacks CP Printing's local service and specialty calendar focus.
• The UPS Store: The UPS Store franchise network offers printing, copying, binding, and direct mail services to SMBs and consumers in thousands of US locations. It is a direct competitor for walk-in print demand and basic business services that overlap with CP Printing's SMB customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Staples Business Cards / Staples Print Services: Staples is a broad office supplies and services retailer that includes business cards, banners, signage, and document printing. It overlaps with CP Printing on commodity print products as part of a wider office supplies portfolio, serving similar SMB and consumer customers.
