The company sells predominantly through independent distributors, as well as to many of the company’s competitors.

Adams McClure, LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary, also sells direct to a small number of customers, where sales are generally through advertising agencies. The printing industry generally sells its products either predominantly to end users, a market dominated by a few large manufacturers, such as R.R. Donnelley and Sons, Staples, Inc., Standard Register Co. (a subsidiary of Taylor Corporation), and Cenveo, Inc., or, like the company, through a variety of independent distributors and distributor groups.

On November 30, 2022, the company acquired the assets and business from School Photo Marketing (‘SPM’) in Morganville, New Jersey.
