Heritage Printing, Signs & Displays in Charlotte, NC was established in November 2009 at Harris Technology Blvd and is led by Joe Gass. Heritage Printing, Signs & Displays quickly established itself as the “Go To” wide format printer in the Southeast. February 2011; Heritage Printing, Signs & Displays expanded again by acquiring Blue Fire Visual, a leading wide format printer in the Charlotte area.
In February 2013, Leonardtown expanded to wide format printing, introducing Heritage Printing, Signs & Displays as a signage and print provider in the DC area. A sales office was established at 2639 Connecticut Avenue in Northwest Washington, DC. The Heritage Printing, Signs & Displays footprint continues to expand.
The exponential increase in wide format services and clients found Heritage Printing, Signs & Displays Charlotte needing a larger production facility, in May of 2013 they relocated to 2739 Interstate Street. This was a strategic move as Interstate St. is closely located to several national logistic providers, thus shortening delivery times to “Next Day” in many cases.
August 2015, Heritage Printing, Signs & Displays Leonardtown relocates to 2854 Old Washington Rd to share the acquired Beacon Printing production facility. The new ownership group has plans to upfit the facility with the aesthetic improvements being gradual but definitely noticeable. An open house will be forthcoming in the very near future.
