In this episode of the Shop Jersey Shore Podcast, host Lisa Mazzuca sits down with Erick from Atlantic Printing and Design to talk about how modern printing goes far beyond business cards, and why having a trusted local print partner can make all the difference for your business or personal projects.
With multiple locations serving Ocean and Monmouth Counties and clients across the country, Atlantic Printing and Design has built a reputation for combining creativity, technology, and customer-focused service into one seamless experience.
More Than Just Printing
Atlantic Printing and Design is exactly what the name suggests, but also much more. Their team handles both design and production in-house, which allows them to maintain quality control and deliver faster turnaround times.
Their services include:
- Business essentials like business cards, flyers, folders, and envelopes
- Book printing and binding
- Large-format printing such as banners, posters, and signage
- Promotional products and trade show materials
- Apparel printing, embroidery, and direct-to-film (DTF) printing
Whether you’re preparing for a trade show, launching a new business, or planning an event, they offer a one-stop solution to bring your ideas to life.
A New Space, Expanded Capabilities
One of the biggest recent milestones for Atlantic Printing and Design is their move to a larger production facility in West Creek (Eagleswood Township). The new space, formerly a state trooper barracks, has been completely reimagined to support a more efficient production workflow.
This upgrade allows the team to:
- Handle more projects in-house
- Improve turnaround times
- Expand into new services like large-format printing and garment decoration
- Deliver even better pricing by reducing outsourcing
It’s a move that reflects their continued growth and commitment to staying ahead in an evolving industry.
Why Working With a Printer Early Matters
One of the most valuable takeaways from the episode is the importance of involving your printer early in the process. Designing for print is very different from designing for digital. File setup, sizing, color formats, and bleed requirements can all impact the final result. Atlantic Printing and Design works closely with clients to provide templates, guidance, and expertise that help avoid costly mistakes and delays.
If you’re starting a project, reaching out before finalizing your design can save time, money, and frustration.
Serving Businesses and Individuals
While many of their clients are businesses, Atlantic Printing and Design also works with individuals on personal projects. And they treat every job, big or small, with the same level of care.
Some recent examples include:
- Custom coloring books for children
- Mounted canvas gifts
- Invitations and event materials
- Funeral programs
- One-off custom t-shirts
Their willingness to take on smaller or unique projects is part of what sets them apart. As Erick explains, saying “yes” whenever possible helps build lasting relationships and often leads to bigger opportunities down the line.
Rooted in the Community
Atlantic Printing and Design isn’t just a business in the Jersey Shore, they’re part of the community. The company regularly supports local organizations, including schools, nonprofits, and community groups. From donating printing services to sponsoring events, their team is committed to helping local initiatives grow and succeed.
Their philosophy is simple: when the community thrives, everyone benefits.
Built on Experience and Growth
The company’s story is one of dedication and steady growth. Owner Joey Flores started in the printing industry in the Philippines before bringing his expertise to the United States in 1989. Through years of hard work, mergers, and expansion, Atlantic Printing and Design has grown into a network of multiple locations serving a wide range of clients.
That growth continues today, with new technologies and services constantly being added to meet changing customer needs.
What’s New and What’s Next
With their expanded facility, Atlantic Printing and Design is continuing to invest in new capabilities, including:
- In-house embroidery services
- Direct-to-film (DTF) printing for high-quality, full-color apparel
- Perfect binding for books and magazines
DTF printing, in particular, opens up new creative possibilities. Unlike traditional screen printing, it allows for detailed, multi-color designs without the same limitations making it ideal for smaller runs or more complex artwork.
Getting Ready for the Busy Season
As the Jersey Shore gears up for the spring and summer seasons, now is the time for businesses to prepare their marketing materials, signage, and promotional items.
If you have an idea but aren’t sure how to execute it, Atlantic Printing and Design encourages you to reach out. Their team thrives on problem-solving and helping clients find the best possible solution.
