AlphaGraphics Franchise Information:

The future of print and visual communications is here today at AlphaGraphics!

Who is AlphaGraphics?
AlphaGraphics has been a leader in visual communications for more than 35 years. With over 260 independently owned and operated locations in the U.S. and eight countries, we set the standard for state-of-the-art solutions in printing, marketing communications and document creation and management.

Our mission is to work with people to plan, produce and manage their visual communications, enabling them to achieve their goals more effectively and confidently. In other words, we help people communicate better with their colleagues, prospects and customers.

At AlphaGraphics, we don’t just deliver printing, we deliver solutions “when promised, as promised®.” We’re positioned in our market as a high relationship/value-added services company—we’re focused on providing consultative solutions for our customers, not just quick copies and printing. Our basis for focusing on this position is well-founded—research by the Print Institute of America indicates that in the next 5 years, value-added services will grow to 50% of industry revenues versus 20% in 2005.

In addition, AlphaGraphics is the only visual communications franchise organization to have attained ISO 9000 certification for adhering to strict operational and quality standards. At $1,053,000, AlphaGraphics business centers boast the highest average annual sales per location in our industry.*
