Graphic Dimensions History
Graphic Dimensions was founded in 1994 by Jay Scammell and five industry veterans in Atlanta, Georgia. Their basic philosophy was, and still is,
"Do each job quicker and better than anyone else and never promise what you can't deliver - never let the customer down." To this day we still
deliver all orders of less than 500,000 in five days or less.
The company started with one pack-to-pack imprinter in an 8000 square foot facility producing short run continuous business forms
and checks. Since that time, Graphic Dimensions has grown to three facilities, greatly expanded our product lines and continues to
prosper as a trade only manufacturer.
Following are some highlights of the company’s history:
|
