AlphaGraphics, a leading franchisor of printing and marketing solutions, is among the largest printing companies in the U.S. and Canada after being named to the prestigious Printing Impressions 300 list. The franchise ranked 28th with $215 million in total sales.

"Difficulties related to the pandemic continued last year, but our leadership team and franchisees worked together to make 2021 a success," said Bill McPherson, vice president of franchise development. "As we transitioned back to normal, our franchise continued to evolve to meet the needs of our customers. Sales remained steady, and we were able to thrive. That wouldn't be possible without a combined effort from everyone under the AlphaGraphics banner."

The Printing Impressions 300 ranking is based on annual sales with many companies self-reporting their numbers. The publication provides coverage and analysis on industry trends, emerging technologies and graphic arts industry news. Regarding the Printing Impressions list, the publication noted that some printing companies flourished in the wake of the pandemic, but many suffered double-digit losses or shut down completely.

"In spite of the business environment, AlphaGraphics continues to find ways to grow both our franchise and sales numbers," McPherson said. "The relationship that headquarters has with our franchisees is second to none, and that allows us to work together on initiatives that are a net positive for both the franchise and our customers."

AlphaGraphics was founded in 1970, and the company began offering franchise opportunities in 1979. For more information, visit https://www.alphagraphics.com/.
