History




YOUR PARTNER IN PRINT MANAGEMENT

At McKella280 we know what it means to be a great partner. Our company was born when Digital Color Image and Citation Graphics, two industry-leading graphics services companies, came together to form an extraordinary partnership. By merging the expertise, resources and people of these two exceptional organizations, we're able to provide a broader range of services to our clients - more cost-effectively than ever before.

Clearly, great things are possible when partnerships take off - and that's the philosophy behind all of our client relationships. Instead of a vendor, we strive to be your partner in print management: Sharing your business goals, and collaborating every step of the way.

Print



Experience. Quality. Service.

With 35 years of print production experience our manufacturing workflows provide an integrated process developed to maximize the return of your investment in print. We leverage traditional print and digital technologies to provide a full service single source platform that significantly shortens your time to connect with your clients. This versatility and expanse of services provides flexibility to react quickly and cost effectively, resulting in printed materials that work for your financial performance.

A Word About Quality

Our quality standards have never been compromised and we take pride as an organization regarding the high standards that we have established throughout the organization. Our closed looped color management process assures all color targets are matched from pre-press to print production. Finishing and packaging ensures through inspection that the product integrity is maintained and delivered without delay.

Packaging



Your job is to create exceptional packaging design and get it to the market in the shortest time frame. Our job is to allow you the most time to do so and to provide the highest quality, eye-catching pre-press product necessary to give exceptional packaging results.

We do this by reducing your involvement in the technical aspects of production and by producing the best possible reproduction using the infrastructure, technical knowledge, and state-of-the-art equipment we've assembled.

Prepress

The power of new technology and expert craftsmen provides some of the industry's most advanced pre-press services available. We are a recognized leader of pre-press service to the consumer packaging industry and web catalog producers throughout the U.S.

Promotions

No matter the opportunity or timeline, the team at McKella280 will deliver the branded solutions to meet all your promotional, executive gift-giving, and wearable needs - on time and on budget.
