Flagship Press

Flagship Press is a commercial printing company that combines digital, UV and large format printing with direct mail, promotional products and apparel. Its equipment includes Screen 520HD and KM-1e presses, printing in up to ten colors, synthetic substrates, and special UV techniques and coatings, backed by an in-house graphic design staff. The company’s pitch is single-source capability: design, printing, mailing and branded merchandise handled under one roof, with redundant equipment to keep jobs moving.

Based in North Andover, the company is a G7 Master certified print facility, a designation from Idealliance for printers trained to proof and print using the G7 methodology. Its sustainability efforts trace back to founder Pat Bissonnette, who began reclaiming paper waste for reuse on later jobs. Today Flagship uses wastewater reclamation, energy-efficient fleet vehicles, advanced paper recycling and renewable energy as an EPA Green Power partner, and it moved to UV curing partly because it is essentially VOC-free.
