About

Founded in 2011, Argyle Octopus Press was created to serve the growing needs of startups and small businesses. Our customers wanted designs and printed pieces as unique as their companies, while not sacrificing quality, service, and value. We have a different approach to design and printing that makes us exceptional.

We design with print in mind. It is not enough just to design pretty things. In order for designs to be useful for a company they must also be functional. There are a ton of great designers out there that know how to make pretty things, but they don't know how to make them print correctly. That means pieces don't always turn out the way they look on a screen, or companies receive extra charges from printers when they have to correct issues. We design for print from the beginning so pieces turn out like they are suppose to. We love to create unique solutions for our customers, from custom payment packages to die cut business cards.

We are printers without presses. You see, we are not a traditional "printer." We do not run the presses, cut the stock, or saddle stitch the booklets. Instead, we prepare the designs for print and then ship them off to one of our many print partners. We have several local printers we work with, as well as national trade partners. This unique approach allows us to make decisions based on what is right for our customer, not what is the most profitable piece of equipment in the shop. If you only have a two color press in the back, suddenly all of your customers need two color work. By eliminating costly equipment and wasteful inventory, we are able to keep our overhead low. This means that we can do great work and unique pieces, without the sticker shock of an agency that just doubles their retail cost.
