From a Small Print Company to #146
Calitho’s story began in 1985 as a small commercial printing company in the San Francisco Bay Area. We built our business one project and one customer at a time, with a focus on quality, service and doing the job right.
Four decades later, that small print company has grown into something much bigger!
Today, Calitho is a full-service California print and packaging manufacturer with capabilities that extend well beyond commercial printing. Custom packaging, folding cartons, influencer kits, retail displays, wide-format graphics, structural engineering, kitting and fulfillment have all become part of what we do as our clients’ needs – and our industry – have evolved.
Our Concord, California facility brings these capabilities together under one roof, giving our clients greater efficiency, quality control and flexibility from concept through completion.
But even with new equipment, expanded capabilities and more complex projects, one thing hasn’t changed: our people are at the heart of Calitho. We’re fortunate to have a hardworking and experienced team, including many employees who have been with us for years, even decades. Their knowledge, craftsmanship and commitment to our customers have played an enormous role in getting Calitho where it is today.
Growth Also Means Looking Ahead
We continue to invest in technology, equipment and new capabilities while finding better and more responsible ways to produce the work our customers depend on us for. As an FSC®-certified printer, we offer responsibly sourced paper stocks and sustainable print and packaging options designed to reduce environmental impact without sacrificing quality, performance or presentation.
That combination of experience and a willingness to keep evolving has helped a small printing company founded in 1985 become the Calitho of today. And that’s what makes #146 especially meaningful!
It represents how far we’ve come, the people who helped us get here and the clients who have trusted us with their brands and projects along the way. We’re incredibly proud of the recognition and even more excited about where we go from here.
