History
Print and engraving room..

The Artcraft Company has grown to be the premiere specialty printer in New England. More corporations, law firms and financial service firms turn to us every day for their engraving and printing needs than any other printer. There are two reasons for our extraordinary growth.

First, the advent of sophisticated digital technology combined with more modern machinery has meant that engraving is no longer the time consuming and costly process it once was. In fact, it has become one of the most widely used printing methods among corporations and professionals, particularly for their corporate identity systems. We continue to invest in new technology every day. We believe in our future.

We also believe in the power of engraving. Having attributes of both form and function, engraving enhances corporate images while providing security to original documents. Providing aesthetic characteristics such as opacity, the ability to render fine lines and achieve unparalleled brilliance with metallic inks, engraving is often specified to convey professionalism and quality. In fact, many businesses, and especially law firms and financial service practices, benefit from the built-in security factor of engraving (the impression created on the back of the stock) which identifies true documents from fraudulent ones. Engraving, unlike other printing methods, is also 100% laser guaranteed.

Secondly, our team prides itself on providing the highest level of quality and service. Because of the exceptionally high standards the Artcraft team has set for itself, our clients have come to expect the best: timely turn around times, friendly and competent staff and the finest stationery available. Anywhere.
