Facilities & Capacity
Plymouth Printing has the manufacturing capacity to handle client needs. Since 1998, we have invested nearly five million dollars to open our plant in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and rennovate our Cranford, New Jersey facility. With two strategic modern locations, totalling almost 100,000 sq. ft. and capable of expansion, there is extensive label and insert manufacturing horsepower.
These two production facilities offer the benefit of three shifts, and equipment that provides backup support for each other. Both practice strict security measures, are ISO-compliant, and operate under current good manufacturing practices (cGMP).
Because of this abundant capacity, we can
manage extensive product inventory
programs for our clients. This gives them
purchasing efficiencies by allowing for
larger order quantities, immediate access
to finished components as needed, and
reduced warehouse costs at their
organization.
Quality Assurance
Serving the pharmaceutical and related healthcare industries for 75 years, we are acutely aware of and fully understand our clients’ needs and concerns for high quality products and services. We address these concerns and needs through strict adherence to cGMP’s using a quality system that is based on Total Quality Management (TQM) and ISO 9002-1994 philosophies.
Our standard of performance is to meet or exceed client’s expectations every time. Manufacturing employees are empowered and responsible for maintaining product quality by following documented standard operating procedures (SOP’s) and the use of written documentation that include sampling plans, in-process inspections, checklists and batch record accountability that traces finished products back to the raw material suppliers’ lots.
We strive for continuous improvement through planning, training, improving overall communications and implementing new technologies and equipment. Dependable quality is also achieved by consistent supervision and strict work instructions to:
- Segregate all work areas
- Purge all work areas prior to starting a new job
- Continuously review the
Quality System
- Conduct internal and
client-driven audits and benchmarks

Equipment & Operation
Our top of the line printing and finishing equipment is extremely reliable and versatile; the breadth of our equipment enables us to handle a very broad product line.
Efficiency and productivity are stressed within our operation, maximizing our output and allowing us to pass on quality and cost savings to our customers. Recently, for example, we were able to eliminate liner breakage and further reduce production down time on our customer’s packaging line, by suggesting a different material than the one our client initially specified.
Our equipment is updated and expanded on a regular basis. A complete listing of Plymouth’s equipment is outlined in our company presentation booklet. Our processes include:
- Sheetfed offset
