ABOUT ADi GROUP

When ADi Group opened its doors in 1949, the company (then called Advertisers Duplicating) owned and operated one of the first web-fed offset printing press in the United States.

In those early years, a philosophy was born — use the latest technology and leading processes to improve and streamline the way clients do business. For the past six decades, they’ve done exactly that – Growing in to much more than a printing company.

ADi Group has consistently led the way in offering new and innovative print-related solutions to clients — a tradition that continues today with the i-print solutions process. i-print solutions is an online print management system designed to make it easy and efficient to create, order, proof, and distribute corporate printed material across town, across the country or around the world.
