Plymouth, Mich. – Alliance Franchise Brands announced today that its print, mail and marketing brand, Allegra Marketing Print Mail, and its signs and graphics concept, Image360, have been named to the 2020 Printing Impressions 350 list.

This year’s ranking, coined “The Covid-19 Edition,” is considered the world’s most prestigious and comprehensive ranking of the largest printing companies in the United States and Canada. Solidifying the brands’ extensive reach and market share, Image360 and Allegra collectively ranked at #15 or within the top 5 percent of largest printing companies in North America.

“It’s such an honor to be recognized by Printing Impressions with this industry-leading ranking,” said Mike Cline, Chief Development Officer for Alliance Franchise Brands.

This recognition proves our reputation within the industry and we’re excited to start off 2021 ranked among the most powerful printing companies across the continent.”
