About Compton & Sons
Compton & Sons is a St. Louis-based out-of-home (OOH) printing company that provides print management services to agencies and brands throughout the United States. In 1853, we began printing sheet music like "The Flying Trapeze," progressing to large bill posters, and by the 1900s, we were printing multi-sheet billboards for some of the most recognized brands of the time. Since then, we have successfully produced thousands of outdoor posters for installation by OOH vendors from coast to coast.
Our experience has taught us to adapt and remain on the cutting edge with the latest technologies and materials. All Compton posters are certified for polyethylene (PE) poster panels (a fully recyclable poster substrate). We implement quality control checks throughout the entire production process, and customize the proof process to fit your needs and timeline - we provide online proofing in a digital format and scale proofs on the actual material.
Furthermore, our multiple production facilities allow us to provide the fastest turnaround, and all projects are treated with priority status. At Compton & Sons, you receive personalized quality service - you communicate with one contact, receive one invoice, and get end of day email updates and progress reports on the status of your job.
