Dupli began as a small, four-person envelope jet house when Kemper Matt Sr. purchased the company in 1980. What started as a modest operation quickly evolved into a growing print and production powerhouse, fueled by an unwavering commitment to quality and the drive to always do right by our customers. Over the decades, Dupli’s growth has been built on the dedication, craftsmanship, and hard work of our employees, people who treat every project like it matters and every client like a partner.
Today, Dupli has grown far beyond its envelope-jetting roots. Our capabilities now include commercial printing, apparel decoration, marketing products, direct mail, fulfillment, and coated products, giving our customers a true end-to-end production partner under one roof.
