Crown's Profile

Crown Printing has the advantage of second generation leadership with the future in sight. Founded by Ralph Rust in 1967 Crown Printing occupied a small shop on East Gary Street in Lakeland. It was at this limited facility that Ralph developed Crown Printing’s reputation for personalized service, and excellence in printing. Ralph passed over leadership of the company to his son Mark in 1998. Under Mark’s direction a renewed vision for the future was developed and a new larger facility was constructed at their current location. The vision continues to grow with the third generation now involved with the company’s printing and multi-media operations. At Crown Printing relationships are made for the endurance of years and not limited to the next job.
