Peczuh Printing & Paperbox Holds Successful Open House

Peczuh Printing & Paperbox recently held an open house at its facility in Price, Utah. We sat down with CEO Frank Peczuh Jr. to learn more about the inspiration behind the event, the company’s culture and passion for print, and what’s next for Peczuh Printing & Paperbox.

Printing Impressions (PI): Tell me about Peczuh Printing & Paperbox and the recent open house.
Frank Peczuh Jr.: For more than six decades, Peczuh Printing & Paperbox has built its reputation on craftsmanship, innovation, and community. This fall, it opened its doors to customers, vendors, and friends for a rare open house, its first since 1994. The event celebrated the installation of a new eight-color Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106 LED-UV perfecting press and marked another step in Peczuh’s ongoing evolution as one of the most capable and forward-thinking printers in the western United States.

PI: Was this your first time hosting an Open House?
Peczuh Jr.: Yes. This was the first open house we’ve held since opening our Price, Utah, facility in 1994, so it was a rare occasion for us. Normally, we host smaller, targeted visits for customers that focus on specific needs or technologies. This event was our first large-scale gathering in many years.

PI: What inspired you to host this open house, and what were your main goals for the event?
Peczuh Jr.: The installation of our new Heidelberg perfecting press was the primary inspiration. Its addition prompted us to remodel our office area and make several upgrades to the pressroom. Once the press was in full production, and performing exceptionally, it felt like the right time to open our doors, celebrate these milestones, and thank our customers, vendors, and employees who helped make it possible.

PI: How did you curate the demonstrations and technology displays to showcase your company’s capabilities?
Peczuh Jr.: We focused on three key themes: sustainability, technology, and productivity. Our team partnered with representatives from Heidelberg and several of our industry partners to demonstrate how these elements come together in our daily work. The goal was to give attendees a firsthand look at our methodology and our continued investment in craftsmanship, innovation, and the future of print. Equally important was the opportunity to highlight our ongoing commitment to process improvement and environmental responsibility. Sustainability is a guiding principle across all areas of our business.

PI: What kind of feedback did you receive from attendees?
Peczuh Jr.: The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Attendance exceeded expectations, and guests stayed for extended conversations over food and tours. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the dialogue ranged from technical discussions to personal stories about long-term partnerships. Both customers and employees expressed pride in the event, and many commented on how it reflected the company’s family-oriented culture and commitment to quality.

PI: Did the open house lead to any new partnerships, projects, or business opportunities?
Peczuh Jr.: Yes. We had several meaningful conversations that have already led to new project discussions. Just as importantly, it strengthened long-standing relationships and opened doors to future collaborations. The event reminded us how much value there is in simply connecting face-to-face with our customers and partners.

PI: How did you involve vendors, equipment manufacturers, or brand owners in the event?
Peczuh Jr.: We invited them to attend, participate, and share their perspectives directly with our guests. The event wasn’t just a showcase of Peczuh — it was a celebration of collaboration. We wanted our partners to stand alongside us as part of the story, since their technology and expertise are integral to what we deliver to our customers every day.

PI: Is this something you will do again?
Peczuh Jr.: Absolutely. As new projects and investments take shape, we plan to host more events like this. It’s an excellent way to express appreciation to our customers, employees, and vendors while highlighting our commitment and passion for print we’re making as a company.

PI: Do you have any advice for other printers who want to hold their own open house?
Peczuh Jr.: Keep it simple, personal, and genuine. Focus on creating a friendly, engaging environment rather than a scripted presentation. Serve good food, encourage conversations, and make space for people to reconnect. The best events feel less like marketing and more like community.

“Our open house wasn’t just about a new press; it was about people. It was about celebrating the partnerships, friendships, and craftsmanship that make this industry special. The technology may change, but the heart of printing has always been about connection.”
