OUR VISION
Our clients aim high, and so do we. At Mainline, we understand that your printed piece is greater than the sum of its parts. It’s nothing less than your reputation—and ours—on paper.
Our equipment is superb. Our people are better. We recruit and train first-rate folks, and we pay and treat them well, which is why our average employee tenure tops 20 years. Our employees embody classic Midwestern values of hard work, service to something greater, and collective pride in doing each job well.
From a purely business perspective, we know a happy work force makes a superior product, and a superior product makes a happy client. From a more personal perspective, we’re a family-owned business, and we highly value our work family.
We’ve built our business to feature a broad menu of options for clients. Our experienced staff and diverse capabilities make us agile, a strength that translates into better service, higher quality, greater flexibility, and a keen attention to detail.
We demand high character, top craftsmanship, and accountability from our team, and we deliver those same attributes to our clients. We’d love to work with you.
OUR HISTORY
OUR STAFF
About John Jr.
- At Mainline since 2011; in industry since 2011.
- Matt and I are the third generation of Parkers to work at the plant. We want to continue to build onto Mainline’s 60-year-old foundation and reputation. And there is of course a little bit of “don’t screw it up!”

About Matt
- At Mainline since 2014; in industry since 2010.
- I have a master’s in accounting and I have always been a numbers guy, so it’s nice to work with numbers on a daily basis. I like Mainline’s laid back environment. We are a small family-owned company, and a lot of employees have been around a long time, so the familiarity and comfort everyone has with each other makes it a pretty easygoing place to work, and I believe that translates into great outcomes for our clients.

About Joey
- At Mainline since 1983; in industry since 1981.
- We will design or modify a machine to fit the special needs for a customer’s project. We invite the customer in to explain our process and how it can facilitate their work. The rules here are simple: everyone has to bathe at least once a week! In other words, we don’t operate under the weight of needless rules.

About Brian
- At Mainline since 2001; in industry since 1996.
- We constantly work with clients to produce a better product that will meet or exceed their expectations and stand out from the crowd. From top to bottom, Mainline has great people with many years of printing experience. This is a family-owned company that’s large enough to handle most requests but still small enough to be nimble and responsive to a customer’s needs and, in some cases, emergencies. We’re not like everyone else.

About Joe
- At Mainline since 1990; in industry since 1981.
- I’m most inspired by two things: giving my children an opportunity to succeed and playing a role in the manufacturing of creative projects. I appreciate the opportunity to work with creative people and see their ideas and projects through production. It’s gratifying when their expectations are met or exceeded!

About Paul
- At Mainline since 1993; in industry since 1984.
- We are large enough to get the job done, but small enough to be incredibly nimble in responding to our customer’s needs. For example, while our normal turnaround for our weekly label release is two weeks, we have been able to react to complete schedule overhauls by our customer within two to three days of the release due date, and some individual orders in less than 24 hours.
