Who We Are
We are proud to be celebrating our 13th year as a leading resource for digital printing in the U.S. Our philosophy of superior customer service is what drives founders Jim and Karen O’Brien every day. Each has decades of experience in the print or direct mail marketing industries and a dedication to customer service that is unparalleled in the industry.
While the printing industry dramatically over the last two decades, Jim and Karen have stayed one step ahead all along the way from traditional printing to the digital revolution. In fact, ThinkShapes Mail has been completely digital since its inception in 2010. It is one of the only printers nationwide that combine shaped mail with advanced variable data customization. This can boost direct mail response rates into the double digits.
ThinkShapes Mail’s expertise extends into personalization such as QR codes and scratch-offs, researching the right direct mail list and providing the die lines for a shape that will jump out of the mailbox. Our shaped trade show handouts are always a show favorite, while our print-on-demand booklets save waste, space, and money.
So whether you’re a Fortune 500 or an up-and-coming start up, we can provide custom printed solutions targeted toward greater success.

“They set the bar in Tampa Bay for digital print because they care about the products they produce as well as the timelines we need. It is their flexibility and attention to small details that I found helpful.”
