NEW MILFORD – New Milford Printing has expanded its business through the recent acquisition of J&J Printing Co. New Milford Printing purchased J&J, also in New Milford, June 3. 

J&J has been owned and operated by Shari Barron since 2007.

“I look forward to welcoming J&J’s customers to our printing family,” said owner Gary Boros. “We’re excited to establish relationships with them and fulfil their printing needs seamlessly.”

The acquisition comes following a longtime business relationship between the two members of the printing industry. The print shop is working with Barron for the next few months “to ensure a smooth transition,” Boros said.

New Milford Printing encompasses all printing needs, including design, printing, finishing and mail. “We have a lot of capabilities, and we do it all right here,” said Boros, emphasizing all work is done at its 221 Danbury Road shop.

Among the services and products offered are booklets and publications; business stationary such as cards, letterhead, forms, and notepads; postcards, greeting cards, and invitations; and marketing materials, including signs, bookmarks, coupons, door hangers, fliers, newsletters, posters and menus.

The business serves Litchfield, Fairfield and New Haven counties and beyond.

Its biggest client is the U.S. military. New Milford Printing is the sole printer for the military’s coupon program. The shop prints and mails one million coupons a month to bases around the globe for use at commissaries. 

In addition, it makes the signs and displays for the commissaries.

David Schriber, owner/operator of Club Getaway in Kent, has been using New Milford Printing for 13 years. He said the company prints all his “brochures, maps … literally everything.”

“They’re very accommodating,” Schriber said, noting the quick turnaround he has had for many of his orders.

In addition to New Milford Printing, Boros’ family owns and operates three other businesses, Lace & Ink, which specializes in custom printing and accessories for weddings and special events; Signworks Studios LLC, a custom sign company that produces carved, dimensional and illuminated signs, sculpted concrete, vehicle wraps, banners and more; and Northeast Aquatraction, which offers marine flooring.

Boros’ wife, Patti, a graphic art designer, son Brett, and daughters Tara and Kate are all part of the team at the businesses.

Boros bought New Milford Printing, located in the south end of town, in 2011. Boros said New Milford Printing had for years been a company that focused on commercial printing, but, with the expansion of the Internet, customers sought the business’ services for personal products and accessories. “You have to keep up, and you have to adapt. I look forward to our continued growth.” 

Barron opened J&J Printing in the north end of town in 2007, following employment at other local print shops, including New Milford Printing.

He said he is exploring a soft launch for e-commerce.
