Our Story
Thunderbird Press was founded in 1967 by Dave Forrest Sr. Nearly sixty years later, it's still a Forrest family business, now led by Dave Jr., with his daughter Jade helping carry the company into its next generation.
What's kept our doors open all these years isn't just printing. It's the customers who trust us with their work. The paint manufacturers who need labels ready for the production line. The food brands getting products onto grocery store shelves. The industrial companies shipping products across North America. The marketing managers who need a trade show banner by Friday. The office managers who simply need their catalogs delivered when promised.
We've built our business by taking care of those customers. By standing behind our work. By answering the phone when there's a problem and making it right.
The equipment has changed over the years, but our values haven't. We're still committed to quality, reliability, and the kind of personal service that's becoming harder to find.
Sustainability
Printing responsibly is part of doing the job right. From the paper we source to the way we run the pressroom, here's how we keep our footprint low.
- Responsibly sourced materials
- We prioritize Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified papers, so timber is harvested responsibly, and offer post-consumer waste (PCW) recycled stocks up to 100%.
- Eco-friendly inks and chemistry
- We use vegetable- and soy-based inks that minimize volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and our digital presses run low-emission, non-toxic toners.
- Rigorous waste mitigation
- Advanced digital imposition software maximizes sheet real estate, drastically cutting pressroom paper spoilage.
- A responsible recycling loop
- All paper scraps, aluminum printing plates, and plastic packaging are reclaimed by certified local recycling partners.
- Energy-efficient operations
- Automated LED lighting and power-saving standby modes cut energy use, and we consolidate shipping routes to minimize transport emissions.
