In business for more than sixty years, EBSCO Media is one of the largest full-service, sheet-fed commercial printers in the country, operating a 130,000-square-foot production facility and 50,000-square-foot warehouse space in Birmingham, Alabama. The ability to design, print, bind, fulfill and mail custom-printed pieces enables EBSCO Media to deliver a full-service printing experience for customers across the United States.

In the mid 1940s, EBSCO purchased Hartsfield Printing, a small letterpress shop, to produce military stationery. Shortly thereafter, the name was changed to Vulcan Printing & Lithographing, and for the next twenty years, equipment and personnel were added to keep up with EBSCO’s growing need for printed materials. In 1971, the company, renamed “EBSCO Media,” entered the commercial printing market and began its transformation from a corporate service center to a full-fledged commercial printer.

Today, EBSCO Media maintains its leadership by building connected printing partnerships through technology. The EMpower Total Print Management System™ provides an online connection between EBSCO Media and its customers, allowing them fast access to online catalogs of their printed pieces for easy reordering, distribution and inventory management.

Digital printing services have been added to EBSCO Media’s massive offset capacity to meet the demand for shorter print runs. Through EBSCO Media’s online Digital Print Center, print-on-demand orders can be placed, designs can be customized, and distribution can be directed remotely twenty-four hours a day. One-to-one marketing services, including variable data printing and personalized URLs, are made possible by a staff of experienced programmers and designers.

State-of-the-art electronic prepress, high-speed Internet file transfer, computer-to-plate processes and online remote proofing complete the picture of a technologically savvy commercial printer.
