Our Mission Is Your Success Hello and welcome to PIP! It is such an honor to preside over one of the leading franchise companies that essentially paved the way to create the quick printing industry and become one of the fastest growing industries during the 1970s. When Bill LeVine opened the first Postal Instant Press in 1965, or PIP as we know it today, he built it into one of the leading commercial printing plants in Southern California. When we acquired the brand in 1996, we evolved the service offerings and positioned PIP as a technological leader in printing as well as signs and marketing services. We recently commemorated PIP’s 50-year anniversary where PIP franchisees from around the country celebrated at the company’s Annual Convention in Washington, D.C. My father had the sincere privilege of knowing Bill LeVine as a friendly competitor in the quick print space and honors the legacy of carrying on the PIP brand. Today, there are several locations that have been operating since the 1970s, only this time, many are run by sons and daughters. Younger generations are reengaging in the business now that the industry and marketplace needs have evolved resulting in the PIP brand now offering signs, marketing services, promotional products, websites and online storefronts as well as graphic design, digital printing and mailing services. Our vision for success has always been rooted in one essential belief―support our network. As a result, PIP offers a clearly defined business model that allows our franchise owners to follow a proven system while operating independently. Our management team is the best in the industry with numerous years of experience teaching, training, coaching and supporting business owners. We would be honored to talk to you about the possibility of becoming one of our franchise owners. We always have room in our family for more and here is where you can realize your dream of independent business ownership.
