IT ALL STARTED IN A CHICKEN COOP

Lawton Printing Service’s founders, Frank A. Lawton and his father Frank H. Lawton, hatched a successful family business in 1940. Their humble beginning started as a two-man shop in a remodeled chicken coop behind the family’s home. Their hard work, honest business practices, and commitment to providing their customers with imaginative solutions blossomed into a thriving company that has withstood the test of time.

During its earliest years, the company was mainly engaged in the production of printed materials. Meeting the company’s goal to become a full-service printer for each of their customers allowed them to grow Lawton Printing Services to the ever-evolving business it is today.  As the company grew, Lawton Printing was recognized as innovative and bold in accomplishing tasks for its customers.  Frank A. Lawton even designed and developed specialized equipment to produce file folders for a large client because the equipment to automate the production of these folders was not readily available. This ingenuity created the beginning of FILE-EZ Folder, a successful business for the Lawtons.

This entrepreneurial, can-do attitude continues to permeate the company culture at Lawton Printing Services. We pride ourselves on doing what it takes to get the job done for our clients.
