Our story begins in 1910, when William Alvin Albert Coleman was the Sunday school secretary for Bell Avenue baptist church. He felt the need for attendance cards and the 6 point card was created (Attendance, Bible brought, Lesson studied, Giving, Worship attendance, Bible reading & prayer). The church purchased a small printing press and William set it up in the family dining room.
William eventually purchased the printing press from the church, and he and his son, Clarence, began printing professionally. In 1921 Coleman's Printing was born. William purchased more printing machinery, and set up a print shop behind the Coleman's house on Cruze Street, which is now the site of the Phillis Wheatley YMCA.

Letterpress printing is an antiquated type of relief printing that has made a comeback in recent years. It involves inking raised type and pressing the sheet against it, which transfers the type or image. We started letterpress printing when we were printing church bulletins in 1921, and we haven't stopped since.
Foilstamping starts with a copper die that has been acid-etched with artwork. The die is then mounted in the press and heated. Then, a thin layer of foil is run over the die. Finally, the sheet to be stamped is pressed with the layer of foil between the job and the die. The combination of heat and pressure results in the foil transferring to the sheet.
Die cutting starts with a die. Most of the dies we use consist of a piece of wood that is lasered with your dieline of choice, with steel cutting or creasing rule inserted in the channels that the laser has made. The die is then put in a die cutting press, and is pressed into the sheet. This process allows us to cut and crease paper in virtually any shape.
Custom labels are a great way to set your product apart. With so many discount label companies churning out massive amounts of cheap labels, we keep our labels on the higher end. Whether you want full color printing, foil, embossing, or a combination of everything, we're sure to be able to help you find something to wow your audience.
Sometimes in printing, you just have to get outside the box. That's our specialty. If your project requires a step that nobody seems to know how to pull off, that's the kind of project that really gets us excited. Here are a couple of skills we've picked up that are outside of the box. Edge painting is a fantastic way to make business cards stand out.

I am part owner in a Printing company but there are somethings we don't do in house. We farmed a foil stamping job to Andy and his crew...OMG it was beautiful and our expectations were more than exceeded, and I had very high expectations to begin with. Great Job Andy and Crew!!!
