Braintree Printing Makes List of Top 100 Firms

Braintree Printing, a digital and offset printing company serving printers and print brokers throughout the Northeast, holds steady on Quick Printing Magazine's annual Top 100 List, ranking 4th in sales per employees and 28th overall in 2011.

Quick Printing's Top 100 is published each year to spotlight the leading small commercial printing companies in North America. The list ranks printers by sales figures, growth, number of shops and employees, sales per employee and sales per shop.

Braintree Printing reported 2010 sales of $5.97 million and ranked exceptionally high in the Sales Per Employee (SPE) category. The company's 26 employees generated $230,000 in printing and copying sales last year. This figure outranks all of the top 20 printers nationwide, including the number one ranked company.

According to Quick Printing, printers that show SPE in excess of $200,000 are rare, placing Braintree Printing in an elite group. "Sales per employee is perhaps the best indicator of a company's overall fiscal health," noted Quick Printing's editor Karen Hall.

As the economy rebounds, the printing industry sees promise ahead. Top 100 sales in 2010 were up 3.85% overall for a total of $532 million. Hall suggested that printers, "enjoy a moment of celebration before rolling up our sleeves and getting back to work."
