OUR STORY

In 1969, John Dion was faced with a decision: if he wanted to stay in his role as a middle-level manager for a printing company, he was going to have to pack up and move south. Instead of uprooting his family, with just a couple of printing presses and a tabletop label press, he decided to start his own business in the cellar of his house.


Fast forward to over 50 years later and that basement print shop has grown to a full production facility with multiple flexographic and digital presses, as well as state-of-the-art finishing and inspection equipment.


In 2021, Dion was acquired by Inovar Packaging Group, whose mission is to serve the needs of specialty consumer and industrial products companies who value short lead times, innovative solutions, technical support, and local service while also offering multiple locations and production options for redundancy and flexibility.
