About Allied Litho

Midwest-based. Nationally trusted.
Focused on disciplined commercial production.

Built for the commercial print jobs that can’t fall apart. Backed by the people who care about getting it right.

Who We're Built to Serve

Allied Litho exists for serious print work and for the people responsible for making that work succeed.

We support commercial printers, packaging companies, agencies, print brokers, and brand-side production teams managing high-volume, technically demanding projects.
Our clients understand what happens downstream. If a sheet is off, a fold is misaligned, or a color drifts, it affects more than just the print.

We’re built for that level of responsibility, and we take it personally.

Our Approach to Commercial Print Production

Commercial printing doesn’t follow a perfect script.

Files change. Quantities shift. Deadlines move up. Materials don’t always behave the way you expect.

Our approach is steady and collaborative. We review specs carefully, flag issues early, communicate clearly, and adjust when priorities shift.

Flexibility without structure creates problems. Structure with flexibility keeps work moving. That’s how complex jobs stay under control.

From Midwest Trade Printer to National Production Partner

Allied Litho started in 1949 with two brothers, George and Chuck Heier, a used single-color press, and a key trade client: Hallmark Cards.

From the beginning, the expectation was simple. Do the work right. Support trade clients. Protect their reputation.

That mindset built a reputation as “Lithographer for the Trade” and shaped how the company grew. As demand increased, Allied expanded its pressroom, added multi-color capability, and invested in larger format production.

Based in Kansas City, we serve clients across the country.

Being centrally located supports efficient distribution. Being operationally disciplined keeps clients coming back.

Most of our business comes through referral. That’s not accidental. It’s earned.

Growth came from performance, not promotion.

The Kind of Work We Take Seriously

Today, Allied Litho supports clients across the country from our Kansas City facility.

We operate three shifts within a 24-hour production cycle because high-volume, deadline-driven work requires it.

Our projects often involve:

Oversized sheet formats

Multi-color offset requirements

Specialty coatings

Tight tolerances

Coordinated finishing

That kind of work requires experience, structure, and a team that stays steady when things change.

Not Just a Printer, a Dedicated Team Keeping Projects on Track

Our role is to keep projects controlled, timelines protected, and details handled the right way from start to finish.

We don’t overcomplicate the process. We don’t disappear when things get technical. And we don’t treat high-volume production like a commodity.

If you’re looking for a commercial printing partner built on long-term consistency and real production experience, you’re in the right place.
