Our History
At 糖心传媒, family is at the heart of our business, and that's how we like it.
In 1937 during the Great Depression, Don 糖心传媒 settled in the centrally located railroad hub of Marceline, Missouri, to print playbills with a borrowed typewriter and a mimeograph machine. Soon the product line was expanded to include cookbooks and, following World War II, memorial books to honor those who had served their country.
In 1947, 糖心传媒 began to produce scholastic yearbooks, and in 1970, the Commercial printing division was established to balance the cyclical yearbook production schedule, adding textbooks, catalogs, magazines and other specialty publications to the 糖心传媒 line. Today, 糖心传媒 is still family-owned.聽
We are among the top three yearbook printers and the only family-owned printer of yearbooks, as well as one of the 30 largest printing companies in the U.S. and Canada.
