Why Should you work with Main Graphics? We’re Green

Main Graphics is proud to be FSC^® Certified. Through a yearly audit, strict operating procedures and The FSC’s^® approval of each applicable project we are able to prove a continuous chain from the planting of the trees through the finished product we supply our customers. The intent of the FSC^® system is to shift the market to eliminate habitat destruction, water pollution, displacement of indigenous peoples and violence against people and wildlife that often accompanies logging.

Printing

These days, it’s okay to think outside the tri-fold. Printing has come a long way. It’s as much as an art as it is a science and we incorporate these two principles together to deliver outstanding results. With five in-house presses we can print virtually any project you can concept on almost any substrate you can imagine. Whether you print sheet-fed litho or digital short runs, we have your press. Our philosophy is to ensure that your needs are a fit for our capabilities, not try to fit our capabilities to your needs. If we feel that your job is not the right fit, we’ll let you know.

Bindery

Main Graphics is one of very few printers with full bindery capabilities in-house, including folding, scoring and finishing. Our sophisticated equipment, years of experience and in-house bindery management allow for quicker delivery and exceptional quality control. We’ve bound it all, from brochures to books, invitations to annual reports, journals to catalogs. Whatever the content, we’ve got it covered…not to mention saddle-stitched, loop-stitched, GBC-bound and Wire-O bound. Presentation is everything, and bindery is a critical step in adding the finishing touch to a printed piece. We’ll collaborate with you on the most creative, elegant, and appropriate bindery methods for your project – and then piece it together with style.

Fulfillment

Printing the project is just the first step. If you want to see a return on your investment, you need to get it in the right hands, and we can handle that, too. Main Graphics offers full-service direct mail and distribution to clients who need it in Orange County. We also provide handwork, collating, web-based procurement, online ordering, and variable data digital printing services. We take project fulfillment seriously, which is why we remain hands-on from start to finish, overseeing every facet of your job with the greatest care. Of course, when your phone starts ringing off the hook…you’re on your own.

Enhancements

When your project has to make a statement, we can make it stand out without sending it out. We can make your folding invitation a pop-up card, your diamond photo a sparkling eye-catcher, and your company logo a three-dimensional icon that jumps off the page. As a full-service resource, we offer the highest quality die-cutting, foiling and embossing — all in-house. Because we don’t outsource this piece of the process, we are able to maintain complete control, ensuring faster turn-around times while keeping this critical phase of your project under the watchful and deliberate eye of your dedicated project manager. And because it stays in house, our technicians remain accountable to you for the quality, integrity and craftsmanship required in these minor, yet major, details.

Cross Media

When it comes to direct marketing campaigns, sometimes the results get lost in the mail. Main Graphics has invested in powerful new technology for clients who want to take their direct marketing efforts to a measurable level. We can incorporate personalized variable printing with interactive, internet-based marketing using a personalized URL (PURL). This approach makes your Orange County direct mail marketing campaign unique and dynamic, and gives you real-time lead tracking that helps you convert prospects to clients.

We build a secure website that is customized to your company’s specific cultural and administrative requirements. Clients can view past projects, assess inventory, select new quantities, and place orders day or night from anywhere in the world. Ask your sales representative for a demonstration.

G7 CERTIFICATION

G7 is the industry’s gold standard for color management, and Main Graphics is one of only a select subset of printers certified to deliver scientifically verified color consistency using this methodology. Our G7 calibration means seamless color matching across all our capabilities—your business cards will match your banners, your brochures will match your vehicle wraps, short run or long run, today and next year. This precision eliminates costly trial-and-error color matching, reducing waste and accelerating turnaround times. What you approve is what you get, with reliable proof-to-press matching every time. Whether you’re managing a multi-location retail brand or producing critical healthcare communications, our G7 workflow protects your brand consistency and streamlines production.

FULL IN-HOUSE CAPABILITIES

Unlike other printing companies that outsource many of their capabilities, we have all of our printing capabilities—design, multi-channel marketing execution, production, finishing, and mailing—under our own roof. This eliminates that annoying blame game where vendors point fingers at each other when deadlines slip or quality suffers. When you work with Main Graphics, there’s one point of contact, one team accountable for your results, and one company invested in getting everything right the first time. Our integrated approach also means faster turnaround times because we’re not waiting on third-party vendors, tighter quality control because every step happens where we can see it, and better problem-solving because our designers, production staff, and finishing experts collaborate directly. Whether your project requires intricate die-cutting, specialized binding, variable data printing, or direct mail coordination, our in-house capabilities give you the efficiency of a streamlined process and the peace of mind that comes from working with a single, fully accountable partner. It’s all on us—and that’s exactly how we like it.
