Overview

Overview:
Setting Higher Standards for Large Format Digital Printing
Better Service, Better Quality, Better Value.

Circle Graphics is a technology-driven digital printing company focused on grand format printing for out of home media. With more than 60 grand format printing presses and the implementation of lean manufacturing techniques, we have dramatically reduced the cost of digital production, and we pass these savings along to our customers. The result is that after three years in the industry, we supply more than 400 media company “plants” and many large ad agencies on a regular basis and ship more than 40,000 posters and 2.75 million square feet of fl ex vinyl per month. Circle produces a quality product, delivered with world-class service, at the very best value on the market. We work hard to deliver all three...and we’re not satisfied unless you agree that you’re getting all three!

Better Service

As a Circle Graphics customer, you will receive exceptional turnaround delivered with world-class customer service. Our factory runs 24/7 and with our industry-leading capacity, we turn jobs quickly and can meet the most demanding production schedule. Each of our customers is assigned to their own Account Manager. We believe relationships are important, and we get to know our customers on a personal basis. Circle has developed some of the best software systems in the industry that help us deliver order tracking information as well as accurate and quick reproduction of your graphic images.

Better Quality

Our standard resolution is 360 dpi on either 4 or 6 color digital presses, the highest resolution of any of the leading grand format billboard printers. We use the finest automotive-grade pigments in our inks so they resist fading. Our poster paper and vinyl substrates exceed industry standards. And our digital workfl ows and color management processes ensure that your designs are reproduced accurately and consistently. We have satisfi ed some of the largest brands and most demanding customers in the industry. We would welcome the privilege of promoting your brand’s image.

Better Value

We hear one question fairly often here at Circle - “How do you deliver such incredible value to your customers?” Our answer lies in our ability to create effi ciencies from mass production of digital prints and pass along the related savings to our customers. As the nation’s leading digital print producer, Circle produces over twelve million square feet of digital production per month. We are fi nancially strong, and we plan to continue delivering terrific value to our customers for many years to come. If you would like to see “how we do it”, please give us a call to arrange a visit to our factory. We would love to provide a tour of our facility and answer any of your questions in person.

Competitive Niche:
We believe we provide the best service in the industry. More importantly, our customers confirm this to us every week. Our tremendous value and quality would not be meaningful without world class service. Every customer is assigned to one of our well-trained Account Managers. Rather than endless policies and rules about how to handle customer service issues that are bound to arise, our service ethic is guided by principles which we truly believe and discuss within our team on a frequent basis.

Circle Graphics is committed to providing quality products with the
industry’s fastest turnaround, delivered with world-class customer
service. But don’t take our word for it – we have a wall (literally) of
positive comments from our satisfied customers. Please, read a few...

I liked how fast Circle Graphics works.
They have an amazing amount of equipment,
so I know my job will never run into
a delay because of lack of capacity. Also,
with Circle Graphics working around the
clock (three shifts, 24/7) it insures that
our orders are turned quickly. I found
that Circle Graphics dedication to Product
Development is second to none. They
are creating products that are not only
improving efficiency within our industry
but are also environmentally responsible.
I thank Circle Graphics for being so
conscious and for looking at
ways to improve products and systems
for the betterment of our industry.
Leo Burnett
Michelle Burgess, Quality Manager

I am extremely pleased with Circle
Graphics’ attention to detail regarding
invoices, their exactness of shipping,
their ease of ordering, and tracking. Their
service, product, and all of the other
intangibles that make a company special,
are all there. Thank you Circle Graphics!
Posterscope USA
Tonya Harper, Production Manager

Circle Graphics goes above and beyond
for our printing needs. They have great
communication skills and know what
to tell us when it comes to their printing
process, and their website is very easy to
track jobs, invoicing, shipping, proofing,
file preparation, and much more. Also,
they know how to educate you to make
the workflow from your company fit
their workflow, and it’s very seamless.
Outstanding Circle Graphics!

We have been using Circle for the
past two years and could not be more

responsiveness. They really do incredible
work and are truly innovators in their

anyone for their outdoor printing needs.

Circle Graphics is an important, strategic
sourcing partner for the Integer Group.
Circle provides us maximum flexibility in
our execution and terrific value on our
billboard production. As important,
we’ve found their service and quality
to be exceptional.

Brad Green, Director of Print Production


Utilizing Circle Graphics for our printing
needs has created many efficiencies for
my staff and clients. Quotes are turned
around quickly, the operations team
at CG in attentive to detail and follows
up is a timely manner. And their online
system for tracking a status of a project
is simply wonderful.

The OAAA and our member companies
have enjoyed generous support from
Circle Graphics on a variety of billboard
campaigns where Circle has either donated
production or offered our members deep
discounts on printing. These campaigns
include OAAA’s Congressional Salute,
Billboard Speaks, Tsunami Relief Effort,
God Speaks II, Pass It On, and America’s
Most Wanted. Thanks Circle for all you do!
Outdoor Advertising
Association of America (OAAA)
Nancy Fletcher, President & CEO


Very glad you added a black and white
image of the billboard to the outside of the
box. We also like the small, color image
that you print on the back pocket material
so we know which vinyl is which without
having to unfold…Keep up the great work.
CBS Outdoor
Mark Peterson, Sales Manager

Circle has been a good production partner,
and they help us stretch our campaign
dollars in order to get our public service
message out to as many people as

consider the Circle team to be a key part
of our success. We’ve partnered with Circle

Thank you, Circle Graphics! I can always
count on you because of your quality,
reliability and pricing. I give you an A+ in
workmanship and customer service for the
two years that I have worked with you. The
bulletin flexes are top notch and look just
as stunning as anything else we post on
Sunset Strip and in other parts of Los
Angeles. And I love working with the CG
staff. They have always gone the extra
distance when I needed special help on
those last-minute jobs. You have never
disappointed me!
Regency Outdoor Advertising, Inc.
Armine Jones, Operations Manager

Over the last few weeks we have had a
multitude of rush orders resulting from
hurricane complications and the like. Our

staff have turned each job VERY quickly,
making our lives much easier at a time
when we have many challenges to overcome.
On behalf of our entire plant, I
would like to thank you for all your help.
Lamar Outdoor

is managed carefully in terms of color and
quality production. We are very pleased
with every aspect of our relationship!

Circle Graphics goes above and beyond
for us. Many times entertainment changes
require an immediate change of our outdoor
message. Circle listens to our needs
and reacts. They are outstanding in turning
a job in a very short time. We trust our
image to be produced accurately (their
print resolution is unbelievably high) and
extremely cost effectively. The customer
service we receive from our Circle Account
Manager and National Sales Rep is without
equal. If you are not using Circle Graphics,
you should be!
