EVERY COMPANY HAS A STORY.
OURS IS JUST BASED ON FAMILY.

Woods Printing Company is a family owned and operated, commercial printing and mailing facility located in Southwestern Indiana. Since 1971, we have been the chosen printing partner for prominent manufacturers, non-profit agencies, furniture companies, small businesses, and universities throughout the region.

Our founder, Maurice C. Woods, started our company out of the basement of his home with no guarantees of success. However, Maurice knew business was much more than just printing. It was about providing every customer with the highest level of service, quality and respect, no matter their size.

 
Today, our original “home-based print shop” is a distant memory and the printing capabilities we now provide are of the highest standards and constantly improving. However, the one thing we are certain has not changed for over 45 years is our focus on you, our customer. We know just like every print project, there are no two customers alike. It’s this combination of quality printing and service that helps us get to the heart of your print campaign and truly bring your material to life.
 
Whatever your project calls for, we have the equipment, experience, and personalized service to take your project to the next level. Just one look through our capabilities will show why we are “The Brand Behind The Brand.”

1st GENERATION

Maurice C. Woods was born October 29, 1931, in the small town of Harrodsburg, KY. Raised on a tobacco farm, Maurice quickly learned the importance of hard work and determination. At the age of 17,
Maurice left his humble hometown to study accounting in Louisville, KY. Although he thought accounting was going to be his lifelong career, it only took one step into a Louisville accounting office to
realize he was mistaken. No way was a man who only really knew the fields of Kentucky going to be comfortable in the confines of a cubicle.

Maurice spent the next couple of years working various jobs. However, his career and his life would soon find him. After finishing an apprenticeship as a pressman, he knew the printing industry was
where he belonged. He also met the love of his life, Emma Lou (Kelsay) Woods, and the two married in 1950. Shortly thereafter they gave birth to their only daughter, Sharon, and his path was set. In 1962, Maurice was offered an opportunity to be a foreman for Shamrock Printing in Holland, IN. Maurice, and his family, loaded up their belongings and made the move. It was here that Maurice was
truly able to hone his management skills and come to the realization he needed to start his own printing company. Although not an easy decision, and many future sacrifices would have to be made, in
September of 1971 Maurice opened the doors of Woods Printing Company.

Although Maurice loved putting ink on paper, printing did not define who he truly was. Maurice C. Woods loved his family, loved his church, and loved his community. He was not only a businessman, but
a leader, philanthropist, jokester and friend. He knew the importance of caring and compassion, and brought those qualities to everyone around him.

2nd GENERATION

In 1982, the second generation of Woods Printing Company began when Maurice’s daughter, Sharon Springston, and son-in-law, David, officially came into the business. Sharon had been
working a career in interior design and David was an electrical engineer designing electronic parts for organs (the instrument and not the ones that keep you alive). Under David and
Sharon’s management, Woods Printing Company saw a large amount of growth. The company grew from 11 employees to 25, multiple expansions of the physical plant occurred, and major
advancements in equipment and technology were made. In 2004, the biggest and most vital decision was made in Woods Printing Company’s history…to become a 4-color process shop. Until this time,
Woods Printing Company had been built on business cards and forms and 1,2, and 3-Color jobs. Actually, Maurice had been quoted as saying, “I’ll never have color presses in my shop
because all they are is a damn headache.” Luckily, David and Sharon went against this logic and decided to make the major investment into 4-color presses and recreate the company into a more high-end,
custom 4-color printer.
