OUR HISTORY

A century of new technology – and a steadfast commitment to our customers.

1917

We began our business back in 1917, founded by Val Peter, a German immigrant, newspaperman and printing craftsman.

1956

We proudly broke ground and built our current facility at 16th and Grace, just north of downtown Omaha.

1957

Our first offset sheet-fed press was installed, allowing us to provide our customers with even higher-quality, cost-effective printing services.

1961

We installed the first 4-color web press in Omaha, allowing for very large, cost-efficient runs.

1968

We installed the first heat-set 4-color web press in the Midwest.

1971

We added a second heat set web press.

1985

In 1985, we continued our mission to stay on top of the latest printing technology by implementing photo typesetting.

1999

We took that commitment a step further in 1999 by installing a new digital prepress and plate equipment.

2003

In 2003, we added a fully digital prepress.

2004

To further streamline our prepress process, we implemented direct-to-plate printing.

2008

We installed a Komori S840P, which prints in full color on both sides of a sheet in one pass, making it much faster and more cost effective than traditional presses. The Komori prints up to eight colors, plus aqueous coating on one side in one pass, or four colors on both sides in one pass, plus aqueous coating on one side. It handles a 28×40-inch sheet of light or heavy weight.

2013

Digital Press installed, which saves both time and money on projects, while accommodating shorter runs.

2016

More than $1 million was spent on comprehensive facility upgrades, helping to ensure that we’re utilizing the latest, most efficient printing technology for the highest-quality results.

2017

Interstate Printing Company celebrates its 100th anniversary. The anniversary is celebrated with the addition of new equipment and an new look and feel for the brand.
