Taking Traditional Offset Printing To New Heights.

You deserve two things: customer care that’s second to none, and printing that dazzles and delights. At Derby City Litho, we’re equipped for your success, with the presses, pre-press systems, proofing capabilities and finishing equipment to ensure that your project looks gorgeous.

Our offset press gives you the flexibility to use your Pantone colors, metallic inks and a wide range of finishes. Need touches like embossing, foil stamping, bindery, die-cutting and folding ­even edge-to-edge envelope printing? As Louisville’s premiere offset printer, we can do all that and more.

Short on storage space? Let us warehouse your printed pieces, then use your own online “storefront” to check inventory levels and order deliveries to as many locations as needed, 24/7.
