Who we print for
The union bug is not decoration. For a lot of our customers it is a procurement requirement, and for others it is the whole point.
Union locals and members
Newsletters, organizing literature, contract booklets, rally signs and apparel for locals across New York.
Fair labor employers
Businesses whose procurement rules or values require union vendors, including public agencies and their contractors.
Community organizations
Nonprofits, tenant associations and advocacy groups working on tight budgets and tighter deadlines.

What the bug actually certifies
The union bug on a printed piece is a small mark with a specific meaning. It says the shop that produced it operates under a collective bargaining agreement, and that the workers who ran the press are covered by it.
- Union wages and benefits for shop staff
- Negotiated safety standards on the floor
- A grievance process, not a suggestion box
- Verifiable for compliance and endorsement requirements
The Teamsters have represented working people since 1903. Our shop carries that forward on every job that goes out the door. Teamsters Local 2N
Union printing in New York City
Finding a genuine union printer in Manhattan is harder than it should be. Many shops that advertise union printing broker the work to non-union plants out of state and apply a bug they are not entitled to use. We print in house at 40 Wall Street, Suite 2838, and you are welcome to come see the floor.
If your organization needs documentation for a compliance file, an endorsement application or a grievance-proof procurement record, ask when you request your quote. We will supply what your process requires.
Working to a campaign calendar
Campaign and labor work does not run on ordinary deadlines. Mail drops are tied to board of elections dates, rally signage is tied to a permit, and contract booklets are tied to a ratification vote. Tell us the real date and we will build the production schedule backward from it, then tell you honestly whether it holds.
Need it union printed?
Tell us the job and the deadline. We will confirm the bug, the schedule and the price in writing.
