Your Local Printing Press

Custom creations abound at Minuteman Press in the heart of Avondale Estates.

Minuteman Press offers expert-quality printing and physical branding services. Established in November 2018, they are in their eighth year and have a new, expanded location in Avondale Estates at 127 Center Street, next to Billy’s Sandwich Shop. Now, their shop and production space are all under one roof, enhancing and expanding their capabilities. With more square footage comes more equipment, and Minuteman Press is thrilled with its two digital presses, along with their finishing equipment and wide-format equipment. Laser cutters, engravers, embroidery, and screen-printing devices all bring exceptional potential to every project. “We’re pretty diverse,” Eric Burrill, the owner of Minuteman Press in Avondale Estates, says. “We have a lot of capacity to customize business branding for our customers, and be able to work with them not just on print. We can do much more than that for them.” Promotional products, custom business branding, and opportunities for multiple customer touch points are all on the table. 

Eric has dedicated himself to business development since 2006, and this latest venture highlights his passion for fellow business owners. As a locally owned and operated business, they are dedicated to serving fellow local businesses and residents for all their printing needs. He understands the power of visual branding and enjoys bringing customized designs to life. Marketing materials and branding are essential for a successful business, and Minuteman Press works diligently to make every person’s design shine, utilizing every element to its full potential. There are also fabulous gift opportunities. Personalized cards, coffee mugs, and ornaments bring a sentimental touch to any occasion. Some customers even print photos of their pets onto custom t-shirts, which is as fun and sweet as one can imagine. Eric shared that Minuteman Press helps create custom prop items for movie sets, which is always an exciting collaborative project. Unique awards can be produced from scratch, and they pour their efforts into deeply meaningful projects such as funeral programs. 

Minuteman Press crafts projects for the City of Avondale Estates and the City of Decatur to provide physical branding for events such as flyers, tickets, menus, or, most recently, a Winter Wonderland passport booklet. Eric cites one exceptionally special production project, where they produced a bound historical book for a local 84-year-old author. Minuteman Press loves this community, describing it as “unique, active, and constantly developing for the better.” They mirror those same qualities and especially love to sponsor local events as they truly believe in bringing neighbors together. Recently, Minuteman Press took over TOCO Instant Print, a 51-year-old staple in the community. These types of acquisitions help widen their reach while keeping the heart of local businesses run by neighbors that make Avondale Estates and Decatur stand out in the scope of Atlanta. With their newly minted space and growing network, they’re the ideal go-to for all your printing and production needs.  At the heart of Minuteman Press is producing materials that help build businesses and strengthen community organizations through impactful outreach. They find immense satisfaction in serving fellow local businesses, neighbors, churches, and charities. “Whether it helps them in their personal life or in business,” Eric says with touching sincerity, “It’s always a special thing.”
