You might be surprised to find out that the 42nd annual Printing Impressions list of the largest printing companies in the U.S. and Canada is hot off the presses in a warm summer month. You would be correct in thinking that the annual ranking usually caps off the year here at Printing Impressions in our December issue and circulates widely in January of the new year. This is the first year we have moved the list to July, which may seem odd considering we just produced it a mere six months ago. The reason, however, is to bring you an even more timely ranking.

For the most part, the companies on our list are reporting the previous calendar year as their most recent fiscal year sales. In the case of the December 2024 edition, that meant that many companies were reporting 2023 numbers as their most recent year. By the time we gathered the information, printed the list in December, and then widely disseminated it in January of 2025, the numbers were already more than a year old. By moving the ranking to July permanently, we hope that when we print and promote it, we are sharing numbers that are, on average, only six months old.

This year has been challenging, though. This is the 42nd annual ranking, which means many of you are accustomed to filling out the form later in the year. While it was a lot of work on our end to do outreach and inform everyone of the changes, we have to thank you — our readers who are included on this year’s list — for your flexibility and understanding. For those of you who said, “Didn’t I JUST fill this out a few months ago?” Yes, you did. And we appreciate you participating again so soon after the last process. But rest assured, you will have a long reprieve before we reach out to you to fill out next year’s form, as it will run again in July 2026.

A note about this year’s ranking is that there are several new primary specialty categories. We try our best to stay up-to-date on trends and industry convergence, so we updated the categories to reflect those changes. On this year’s list, we also have several companies new to the ranking, including Chicago, Illinois-based Czarnowski, a $507 million company in the installations, commercial printing, creative services and design, and wide-format segments. Finally, you’ll notice that our segment outlook articles that usually accompany the list are not in this issue. We decided to keep those market analysis pieces in the December issue to serve as a look ahead at the coming year.

We couldn’t create this annual ranking without the industry’s participation, so I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone on the list this year and extend a hearty congratulations!
