A History of ExcellenceThe history of Firehouse begins long before we were a commercial printer. We took our name from our original building which was an active fire station since 1896. The fire department sold the building and grounds in 1971 and The Firehouse Colorlab was born.

Firehouse catered to the consumer and commercial photography

markets offering a wide range of services. Our reputation as the premier commercial photo lab in Indiana began.But, 18 years later, the photo lab industry began to change. Firehouse was at a cross-roads and needed to evolve. The business was purchased by

brothers Tim and Terry Corman. Firehouse retained what consumer business it could and aggressively targeted commercial print clients. Firehouse evolved from a small, consumer photo lab in the 1980’s to a wide-format, commercial printer in the 1990’s. We were early adopters of digital imaging equipment and remain on the leading edge of technological advances.

In 2003 we came to the conclusion that the business had outgrown our Fire Station. We found a new home with the needed space and

modernized infrastructure. We broadened our scope to not just regional, but global commercial accounts. As part of our global expansion, we opened Firehouse BV in the Netherlands in 2011 which gives our clients a unique opportunity to reach new markets. In 2015, Firehouse doubled our production footprint in our US facility to add new equipment, warehousing and more fulfillment space.

Terry Corman 1991

Everything that can be automated, will be automated.This prophetic phrase has never been more accurate than it is today.

At Firehouse, automating the print production workflow has been a game changer. Stronger client/vendor integration can super-charge print production. Automation eliminates waste, reduces errors and saves time and money. With Firehouse automation, client jobs enter production faster than ever before. In fact, by automating these traditional workflow steps, the printing process can be fully optimized.

That has the potential to speed production by nearly 30%!

SustainabilityFirehouse views sustainability as a top priority. We replaced printers using solvent-based ink with models that have zero-VOC or low-VOC profiles. We offer numerous sustainable print materials so clients can recycle their graphics with peace of mind.

Our Packsize on-demand packaging system makes custom boxes precisely sized for each job. This saves cardboard, packing filler and reduces shipping weight. Firehouse has installed energy efficient lighting throughout our production facility and updated our internal power grid for added efficiency.

Firehouse has implemented a robust recycling program that captures and recycles nearly every substrate we offer.
