Our Mission Statement
Our Story
On January 2, 2022, a torch was passed from father to son when Greg Doucette finalized the purchase of Print House from his father, Paul Doucette, who has owned and run the company since 1983. Greg who is now the official President of Print House says his highest priorities are customer satisfaction, expanding service offerings, improved processes, employee happiness and the commitment to becoming a greener and sustainable company.
Circle Graphics, a family-owned duplicating shop on Huntington Avenue, was a regular customer. In 1982, Paul paid a visit to the owner in hopes of selling the latest equipment. The call didn’t turn out as planned. Recently widowed, the owner expressed an interest in selling the company. Paul did his homework. The company was growing and the location was perfect – in the middle of the expanding Longwood Medical District of Boston. Long story short, Paul bought the company.
Paul carefully acquired a few pieces of used equipment, made some repairs, and began growing the small business. Paul recruited a good team and began to spend his time developing a customer base.
The company foundations are strong and will remain intact. Yet, there is no end in sight on the horizon. They plan to grow and evolve with technology, capabilities, and more options for their current and future clients, while concentrating efforts to keep their environmental impact as minimal as possible.
Print House has been dedicated with a can-do attitude; thus, their high-quality printing and graphic designed product line and services keeps steadily growing. From direct mail to promotional products, no orders are too large or small.
It’s important to have a good place to work. I try to lead by example – I’ll never ask someone else to do something that I’m not willing to do. It’s critical to keep an open dialogue. We’re all looking for new ideas and better ways to operate and I depend on the team for suggestions. Sure, problems occur and it isn’t always easy, but here, everyone pitches in to provide the best for our customers.
Environmental Sustainability
For all of us, awareness of our impact on the environment that surrounds us has evolved over time. A lot has changed in the past 30 years and the forestry and printing industries have become increasingly focused on sustainability issues.
Print House has been proactive in our implementation of solutions that benefit the environment. Here are a few examples:
- Conversion from oil-based to soy-based inks
- Installation of “chemistry-free” platemaking systems that don’t generate hazardous waste
- Recycling of all paper waste
- Donation of excess paper to local schools
In the early days, it was evident that the printing industry was faced with environmental issues. As an industry, we’ve come a long way. For my company, environmental responsibility has always been a key concern. We’ve always stayed a step ahead, improving processes and moving forward to reduce our environmental impact whenever we can.
Our Team
Printing isn’t an easy business. Even with all of the technology and automation, it takes an excellent team to get projects done accurately and on time. Print House has succeeded over the decades with dedication from our family of employees.
