While many companies are feeling the pressures of the current economy, some have found a way to flourish. Tampa Bay Graphics, the Bay Area’s premier printing and graphics firm, has announced they will soon expand with an additional office in Brandon to better serve their growing clientele in both the Tampa Bay Area and nationwide.
“Tampa Bay Graphics started with just two people.” Owner and head designer Dustin Drudy remembers. But that didn’t last long. Soon the company had to acquire a sales team, press operators, a customer service team, and more. “Now we’re one of the country’s premier printing firms.” Concluded Drudy.
This new 4,000 square foot facility yields the room necessary for the company’s state of the art printers, graphic design studio, and now an extensive direct mail department. Separated into two distinct areas—the staff’s offices and the press area—the new facility will enable Tampa Bay Graphics to efficiently cater to the needs of their clients. The press area has room for several large state of the art Heildelberg offset printing presses, a web press, and several smaller units. The staff area houses the graphic design studio, the direct mail department, the sales team, and the customer service department.

They are my ‘Go-To’ print company.”
Stories like this aren’t uncommon for Tampa Bay Graphics’ customers. Drudy has numerous letters from clients—ranging from landscaping to realtors—who have seen a marked increase in sales since using his services.
“It’s wonderful getting feedback like this.” Exclaimed Drudy. “We love what we do. Everytime we expand, it means our clients are seeing results. What’s better than that?”
Tampa Bay Graphics’ headquarters is located in downtown Saint Petersburg, Florida. The firm offers graphic design, editorial, printing, list, and bulk mail services. In addition, the facility houses a 1,500 square foot photography studio on-site called Studio Seventeen41 available for rent or for use to get exactly the right images for the firm’s designs.
