We are the go-to print facility for publishers
Blue Island Newspaper Printing has been serving the Chicagoland area since 1971. As a family owned business we have been meeting the needs and exceeding the expectations of our local publishers over 50 years. More recently, with innovations in technology and digital workflows, we have also been able to serve regional, national and global markets. Our wide range and years of experience have proven invaluable to publishers that need direction automating their pre-press processes, and getting quality printing accomplished on time, every time.
