Metro print firms are well represented at Made in NYC, an online resource that promotes manufacturing in New York City.

Printing Services is one of nine industrial categories that can be searched for local providers, and within it can be found 132 graphic communication service providers that have registered at the site. The listings, which are free, contain capsule descriptions and contact information.

Made In NYC is an initiative of the New York Industrial Retention Network (NYIRN) and the Industrial + Technology Assistance Corporation (ITAC), non-profit organizations that support the retention and development of manufacturing in the five boroughs. According to Made in NYC, the city “still has a vibrant industrial sector” of 6,000 manufacturing businesses that employ 81,000 people. The initiative’s primary mission is to connect these businesses with buyers who want to purchase manufactured products locally.

Made in NYC also endorses green manufacturing, and it invites listees to declare their products or services green. (It does not certify these claims.) Among the printers’ listings, 19 bear the green apple logo denoting environmentally friendly manufacturing practices.

The site also contains links to various sources of assistance for metro manufacturers.
