Editorial
The voice of the graphics industry.
Born from the integration of three trusted publications (A&E, Printwear, and Sign & Digital Graphics), GRAPHICS PRO serves apparel decoration, awards & customization, and signage & printing professionals across print and digital media.
Editorial Mission
Impartial. Educational. Practical.
We are the culmination of decades as the dominant industry voice in three related and aligned segments: awards & customization, signage & printing, and apparel decoration. In addition to the monthly print and digital issue, GRAPHICS PRO delivers how-to education, shop profiles, industry and product news, and business strategies through its website, GP Today e-newsletter (every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), product newsletters, webinars, and more.
Editorial decisions are made independently of advertising. Articles must be impartial, unbiased, and noncommercial. Sponsors do not influence story selection or receive favorable coverage in return for media spend.
