"Our goal is to take customer satisfaction

This objective has always driven the development and expansion of

Celebrating over 20 years of service to the Chicagoland Print community!
In August of 1985, Jerry Freund unceremoniously invaded his brother,
Bill Jr.'s, downtown Chicago apartment and set-up shop. Along with
his wife, Mary, and father Bill Sr., the family team launched Mid-American
Printing Systems as a print brokerage firm. With years of experience
in print sales, Jerry saw an opportunity to differentiate his organization
from other printing companies, by making print ordering easier,
specifically by guiding clients in decision-making and handling
difficult projects that other printers wouldn't consider accepting.
After cramping his brother’s style for a few months, Jerry,
Mary, and Bill Sr. searched for a permanent home, and found space
in Chicago’s West Loop. As the team moved into its new space,
and worked hard to establish Mid-American Printing Systems, sales
began to grow. Clients really valued the personal attention and
guidance that Jerry, Mary, Bill Sr. and the growing staff, provided
to them.
Just two years later, the print brokerage firm evolved into a manufacturer
of print products. The expansion into manufacturing set the stage
for Mid-American's customer-needs growth strategy.
In 1993, Mid-American Printing Systems continued to respond to customer
needs and began expanding into other print-related services. Many
clients expressed frustration in coordinating large projects with
designers, mail houses, and printers. In an effort to ease the task
of project management, Mid-American Printing Systems developed the
capabilities to provide "The Total Print Solution" to
clients, adding graphic design and mailing and fulfillment services
to its offering.
Today, as a $9 million company, with 50 employees, (and third-generation
Freund family members on staff!), Mid-American Printing Systems
takes pride in providing Midwestern print buyers a one-stop print
solutions center. The company's team continues to work hard to make
print buying easier for clients and now offers StaccatoŽ screening,
digital printing, custom online ordering solutions, and full lettershop
services in addition to conventional offset printing services.
Mid-American Printing Systems
looks forward to serving the Chicagoland and Midwest print buying
community for years to come…
