RPI Expanding Atlanta-Area Personalized Photo Book, Corporate Collateral Manufacturing
SEATTLE, WA—June 5, 2014—RPI, a leading provider of personalized print services for businesses worldwide, today announced it is expanding its Atlanta-area facilities by 70 percent in order to accommodate growth in its printed photo merchandise and corporate communications business units.

“It’s an exciting time at RPI,” said Rick Bellamy, CEO at RPI. “Demand for fast delivery of sophisticated and personalized print products by consumers and brand marketers is on the rise. By expanding our facilities near Atlanta, RPI will be well-positioned to respond quickly to this demand with technology-driven solutions for our customers in the United States and across the globe.”
