The continuing story
Haywood Printing (since 1946) is a 3rd generation family owned business. In the fall of 1936 My grandfather, Philip Haywood, started a small school newspaper in Mineral Indiana called "The Echo". He made this on a 3 x 5" hand press. "Two cents per copy. One dollar per year. Advertising twenty-five cents per inch." After serving in the war, Haywood printing was born from that. Commercial printing began with linotype and handtypesetting methods, operating on 2 Kluge letterpresses. Carbon copy invoices, business cards, saddle stitch booklets were the most common jobs. Today, we’ve embraced fully digital workflows—providing modern graphic design and efficient full-color printing. With my technical background in engineering we have enabled autonomy and the online storefront, and built our own software for production to ensure your ordering experience is seemless and delivery prompt at quality.
That history matters here because commercial printing is rarely just ink on paper. A dependable result also requires the right stock, imposition, finishing, binding, file preparation, packaging, and delivery plan. The new storefront is designed to make those decisions clearer without removing the human judgment behind them.
