Together We:
At TPS Printing, we believe every printed piece should reflect the pride you take in your business. For us, it’s not just about ink and paper—it’s about helping you communicate, connect, and grow.
As a family-owned commercial printing company rooted in San Diego since 1982, we’re committed to delivering top-quality print solutions with personalized service. Whether you're launching a new product, running a campaign, or supporting daily operations, we’re here to make sure your materials work just as hard as you do.
The TPS Printing Story
For over four decades, TPS Printing has been a proud part of the San Diego business community. Founded in 1982 by San Diego natives Jerry and Nancy Wissing as The Printing Shoppe, the company began as a humble local print shop with only three employees and a vision of quality service. From day one, the Wissing family instilled core principles that still guide us today: consistent, on-time delivery, top-notch quality, and personalized care for every customer’s needs. Those family values and commitment to excellence helped The Printing Shoppe earn a reputation as one of the region’s most trusted full-service printers.
As San Diego grew into a hub for biotech and technology in the late 1980s, The Printing Shoppe grew along with it. In 1990 we relocated to a larger facility in Sorrento Valley and quadrupled our staff to better serve the area’s booming high-tech industries. In the years that followed, we continually embraced new technology – becoming one of the first local printers to offer short-run digital printing and variable-data personalization – and expanded our in-house capabilities with graphic design services, direct-to-platepress equipment, and a full bindery for finishing. These enhancements made TPS a true one-stop print shop, allowing us to handle everything from initial design concepts to final printed product and mailing, all under one roof.
Today, our pressroom combines the best of old-school craft and new-school tech. We operate advanced offset printing presses alongside high-resolution digital printers, so we can handle both large volume jobs and custom short-run orders with equal ease. By investing in modern equipment and software, we ensure every project – from a simple flyer to a complex packaging prototype – meets the highest standards of quality and consistency. Our experienced production team brings decades of know-how, which means you can trust us to deliver outstanding results on time, every time.
Throughout our growth, we’ve remained a proud, 100% locally owned and family-operated business. Jerry and Nancy’s dedication to the community is evident in how we do business. We prioritize sourcing our materials, supplies, and labor from fellow local San Diego companies, helping to support the local economy we all share. Many of our clients have been with us for years – they’re more than customers, they’re our neighbors. Being family-run (now with a second generation of the Wissing family taking active roles in the company) means every client project gets personal attention. We build long-term relationships and treat our clients like part of the TPS Printing family, ensuring you can always rely on us for honest advice, friendly service, and that extra mile to make your project perfect.
Over the years, our name has evolved but our heart has not. For a long time we were known as The Printing Shoppe – in fact, “TPS” originally stood for The Printing Shoppe – and as our company grew, we embraced the shorter name TPS Printing as a modern take on our legacy. What hasn’t changed is our family’s passion for helping other local businesses succeed. When you work with TPS Printing, you get more than a vendor; you get a dedicated partner who truly cares about your success, fueled by the same family values and hometown pride that started our journey back in 1982.
Our Community Commitment & Values
At its core, TPS Printing is driven by a customer-first philosophy and a love for our community. We understand that your printed materials represent your business or organization – and we take that responsibility seriously. That’s why your success is our primary focus in every job we do. Our team works closely with you, offering guidance and expertise at each step, to ensure each job reflects the quality and attention your brand deserves. Whether it’s a simple run or a complex print solution, we’re dedicated to delivering results that make a lasting impact.
Being a family-run company isn’t just a fact about our ownership – it influences how we treat our customers. We believe in personalized service and building real relationships. When you call or visit TPS Printing, you’ll talk to a real, caring team member (often one of the Wissings or our long-time staff) who will listen to your needs. We make it a point to understand your goals so we can recommend the best solutions and catch the little details that make a big difference. This hands-on, personal approach has earned us long-standing partnerships across San Diego. Our clients know we’ll pick up the phone, solve problems, and even accommodate rush requests whenever humanly possible – because that’s what neighbors do for each other.
We’re also deeply invested in San Diego’s community beyond just business. Over the years we’ve supported local schools, nonprofits, and events with donated printing and sponsorships (seeing our work at a community fundraiser or Little League game is a special point of pride for our team). We mentor local design students and participate in local business networks to help our region thrive. In everything we do, we aim to reflect the values of integrity, fairness, and friendliness that our family and our city stand for.
When you choose TPS Printing, you’re supporting a local, family-owned partner that in turn supports others right here in San Diego. We’re honored to play a role in our clients’ success stories – and we never forget that our own story, from 1982 to today, has been written with the trust and support of this wonderful community.
