About Us
"What I really enjoy is when customers come to us with something they want to accomplish, and they can't find another resource who can do it or who is willing to do it."
~ Gary Stewart
Trade Printers manufactures business forms and related products. Creating innovative solutions that address business forms challenges is a company specialty. Trade Printers has made a dramatic impact on the business forms industry by developing time- and cost-saving innovations that organizations have been enjoying for years.
A History of Innovative Problem-Solving
In 1976, Gary Stewart founded Trade Printers Inc. with two partners. By the early 1980s, Stewart held the patent for the first-ever integrated label. He continued to invent additional patented solutions that have served the business forms industry extremely well.
Stewart's patents include the following:
- Patent #4,379,573 dated April 12, 1983
- Patent #4,598,935 dated July 8, 1986
- Patent #5,482,328 dated January 9, 1996
- Patent #5,630,627 dated May 20, 1997
- Patent #5,637,369 dated June 10, 1997
Employees Invested in Top-Quality Work
As Trade Printers expanded its reach, Stewart bought out his partners. In 1990, he partnered with his employees instead by establishing an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This arrangement helped promote employees' pride in their work by giving them responsibility for and ownership in the business.
High employee retention, excellent quality and a commitment to success all drive exceptional products and superior customer service at Trade Printers.
