Our Printing Legacy From Benjamin Franklin

FolgerGraphics traces its earliest roots back to August 15, 1667 when Abiah Folger was born to Peter and Mary Folger. The Folger family was part of the Nantucket Island whaling community that flourished off the Massachusetts coast. In 1690 Abiah married Josiah Franklin and their son stepped boldly into the hallowed pages of American history. He was Benjamin Franklin, founding father, statesman, scientist and especially printer and publisher.

The printing blood that flowed through Benjamin Franklin's veins still flows today in the Folger family. After more than half a century the urge to print and publish still runs strong at FolgerGraphics. Founder Dick Folger's first "newspaper" was a hand-printed sheet that was secretly passed around in his sixth-grade classroom. The lead story, "Mrs. Nassahn Flushed Down the Toilet" (complete with a cartoon) got the young publisher some detention time, but launched a lifetime publishing career that continues (more discreetly) today.

While studying journalism at UC San Jose, Dick Folger founded the Valley View newspaper. He later started the Union City Leader and other newspapers serving the East Bay. Today FolgerGraphics prints nearly 100 newspapers and magazines.

The printing industry has changed dramatically over the years. As newspapers, publishers, and businesses adjusted to new technologies and changing customer expectations, many printing companies struggled to adapt. Throughout those changes, FolgerGraphics continues to evolve by investing in modern production capabilities, building long-term customer relationships, and focusing on dependable service.

More recently, the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped the way many printing companies operated. During that period, FolgerGraphics expanded its ability to support customers with flexible production schedules and after-hours workflow solutions. What began as a way to meet customer needs during an uncertain time has become one of the ways we continue to provide responsive service today.

From digital printing and offset production to finishing, mailing, and fulfillment, FolgerGraphics remains committed to helping customers deliver their message accurately, efficiently, and on time.
