Customer Service
Our courteous and well-trained sales staff will make absolutely certain we understand your project and are fully able to accommodate your printing and promotional needs, schedule and budget.
Our quality control staff inspects and ensures each phase of production so that Brunner standards are met. We believe each and every printed piece that our company produces stands on our reputation.
Electronic Pre-press
Service, quality control, and timely delivery can only be guaranteed from in-house production. In the past, we have had to depend on outside services that other printers still use, which could delay a deadline.
Our in-house, pre-press equipment gives us the capability to give you the highest quality product and fastest delivery of your job. Our artists are very quality oriented and creative to design your job for you. Give us your concept and watch your idea come to life.
Want to design it yourself? That'll work for us too. We have PageMaker, Publisher and Corel Draw on the PC. On the Macintosh, we have Quark XPress, Pagemaker, Illustrator, Freehand, and Photoshop so we can use almost anything. However, please call before you start and we can give you lots of tips to help you help us give you a quality product. If you don’t have compatible software, no need to fret - at Brunner, we have the best of both worlds. We have one of the few remaining full-process cameras left in the area and we can shoot from your furnished copy.
We can furnish you with almost any type proof you require - digital color copy, blueline, color key, or match print. We also welcome you to see your job on press. With our new Screen, 4-up imagesetter, complete with trapping software, in line processor, and punch, our imagesetting capabilities will ensure that there is no delay in processing your job. In addition, our lithographic strippers can use any existing film you may have.
Our Proud History
Brunner, Inc., was founded by Francis J. Brunner in 1930, and was incorporated in 1932. The firm had two employees. During its first 19 years the company grew, slowly but steadily, as a job printer, until 1949. That same year Mr. Brunner decided to offer creative design services directly to his customer. The company was fast becoming known as a “creative printer”. One interesting fact is that a bicycle was used for several years as Brunner’s free pick up and delivery service. Today, we continue that personal touch of customer service as we grow to become one of the oldest printers in Memphis. And yes, pick up and delivery is still free.
Francis Brunner knew there was a market in the area for a printer offering creative design services. He hired a freelance artist and began preparing layouts, initially just for letterheads, submitting these as a sales aid when calling on a customer or prospect. Each design sold opened the door for new business, since it was used on statements, envelopes, business cards and other materials.
As the result of a monthly mailing, his business grew tremendously and had to hire extra employees to produce the jobs. This was followed by a thrust into the product sheet and promotional materials area. A series of self-mailers and advertising pieces was developed for clients and it was a tremendous success.
Brunner was off and running. In 1962, the company moved to its current location. We now offer a full staff of salespeople, graphic artists, and a production crew with over 100 years of combined experience.
Our founder's creative touch and seven-pronged sales approach has evolved into today's creative planning, electronic pre-press, skilled presswork, bindery, color copies, in-house screen printing, and assorted advertising specialty items–all from one source and all geared to providing customers with the ultimate in printing services.
