History of Central Ohio Graphics

Central Ohio Graphics...limited only by imagination.

Central Ohio Graphics acquired offset printer, The Spahr & Glenn Company (Founded in 1857). This acquisition added the experience of large format offset printing to our capabilities.

The name Meredith-King was officially dropped. All mailing functions previously under Meredith-King were continued under the Central Ohio Graphics moniker.

Service was expanded to direct mailing with the addition of Meredith-King Direct Mail (founded in 1924). The partnership resulted in a truly full-service printing and mailing operation unequaled throughout Columbus, Ohio.

Central Ohio Graphics was incorporated.
