Seaway Printing is a family-owned company in Wisconsin. The address is in Green Bay, but it’s on a development land outside the city with more businesses being built next to Seaway Printing.

The auto-splicer enables the offset press to run virtually uninterrupted, and for now, CEO Kevin Heslin tells how the machine produced 100,000 sheets uninterrupted, leaving Seaway Printing as one of the most efficient printing companies in the world.
