Our History

Park Press is a company built on history.

From its humble early beginnings as a letterpress shop in the basement of a home on Park street (hence our name), Park Press Printers progressed and expanded to include direct mail and a full range of commercial print services to meet all printing and marketing needs. Today, we are a fully licensed and fully operational Union Printing and Direct Mail Company located just outside Boston in the Saugus, Massachusetts.
