We are a small press. We have been a small press for seventy-five years. A press is a kind of patience — you set the type, you ink the rollers, you watch the impression, and you do not move on until the page is what you meant it to be.
That is what Franklin offers, still. Quiet rooms on Beverly Avenue, careful hands, three generations of attention. Whatever you bring us, we will print it the way it ought to be printed.

From a desk to your door.
A small shop has a way of staying close to a job. Four quiet steps, on a single roof, with one team you can call.
- I step 01
A conversation
Tell us what you have in mind — quantity, paper, finish, deadline. We talk it through and write up a clear quote.
- II step 02
Proof & approval
Send art ready-to-print, or let us help set it. We send a proof for your sign-off so the press never runs on guesswork.
- III step 03
On the press
Your job moves through the shop with the same care it would have in 1950 — minded, watched, and run with intention.
- IV step 04
In your hands
Pick up at the shop, get free local delivery in the Zanesville area, or let us ship or mail it. For mailing jobs, we sort, address, and drop everything to the post office.

A farmhouse basement, in 1950.
After serving as a medic in the military, Everett H. Jackson, Sr. took a printing class on the GI Bill, bought used equipment from a local print shop, and brought it home. Working between morning and evening milkings, he and his wife Lucille built Franklin Printing one job at a time.
Seventy-five years later, the press is still running.
Print and mail, end to end.
We print the piece, sort the list, address every envelope, apply the postage, and walk it to the post office. One invoice, one team to call, mail that actually goes out on time.
- i. Sort & address Variable-data addressing, presort, CASS-certified handling.
- ii. Bulk mail First-class, standard, and non-profit, with permits arranged.
- iii. Drop to USPS We sort it, label it, and walk it to the post office for you.
- iv. Lists & data Targeted lists, EDDM, and clean-up of the file you already have.

What customers say.
I've used Franklin Printing Co. many times for wedding invitations, save-the-dates, and party invitations, and they never disappoint. The quality of the printing and paper is exceptional. Everett and Sarah are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.
Each time they are prompt in response, use a careful eye when proofing documents, and print quickly with always high quality and fair pricing. Highly recommend supporting this local family business.
My printer failed on me and I needed a newsletter printed — 80 copies, two pages, two-sided, full color. By 3pm my newsletter was completed. I am very happy with how it looks.
The services they offer are beyond words. Customized and cost effective. Great customer service and accuracy. Quality without apology. A quiet strength in our community.
