OUR STORY

Park Printing Solutions is a fourth-generation family-run commercial printer that began as Hamilton James Associates, an advertising company established in 1952 by Wilbur (Wib) and Marge Dudley. They specialized in designing brochures for the banking industry, serving over 5,000 customers around the country.

In 1961, their daughter Jean and her husband John Bass joined the business and the company shifted to printing in-house. It was an “all hands on deck” operation, with John running the duplicator and folder, and Jean, Marge and Wib handling the finishing, order fulfillment and bookkeeping. By 1968, the business had grown to include more employees to assist with production and operations were moved to a building at the south end of Verona. As the first company located in Verona’s new business park, Hamilton James was renamed Park Printing House.

By 1972, Jean’s sister Debbie and her husband Tom—who happened to be the brother of John Bass—joined Park Printing, with Debbie on the administrative side of things and Tom leading the sales team. Like many family businesses, the third generation of sons and daughters spent their early years at the shop. Before long Greg, John, Roger, and Amy joined their parents as the company continued to expand. In 1992, Park Printing moved to our current location on Verona Avenue. The larger building gave us the opportunity to acquire new equipment, including a large-format division, and add fulfillment and mailing services.

Today, Park Printing Solutions still has its roots in family. The fourth generation has joined the team, along with extended family and more than a few employees who work alongside their family members here.

We continue to live by the values that got us where we are: integrity, ingenuity, and evolution. Our equipment and processes utilize leading-edge technology, and our employees—the heart of our business—embody our personalized approach, meeting or exceeding our customers’ expectations every day.

Bring us your big ideas. Your complicated ideas. Your pie-in-the-sky ideas. We’ll pull out all the stops to make it happen. After all, to quote Wib’s son-in-law John Bass: “The impossible only takes 15 minutes longer.”
