Our Company Culture
Shear Color Printing was opened in the late 1980's at the same time as the dawn of desktop publishing. We had a vision that by specializing in short-run high quality printing, we could offer the goods and services that were typically only available with long-run printing jobs - at high costs. As a niche printer, we discovered that through specialization, we could offer pricing 20-40% less than industry standards, while maintaining ultra-tight deadlines, and producing expert quality work. Shear Color opened with one 4color GTO printing press, one cutter, one folder, traditional stripping and plating and 2 employees. Today we have 20 employees working multiple shifts. We have 2,4 and 6 color printing presses, an expanded bindery with multiple cutting, folding and fulfillment solutions and a full pre-press department featuring cutting-edge computer to plate technology.
Shear Color Printing - A "Green Printer"
At Shear Color Printing, the only thing we care about as much as your print order is minimizing our impact on the environment.

Over the years we have implemented several strategies to become an industry leader in environmental friendliness.
- All waste paper, ink and chemicals as well as shop rags are recycled
