It was 1985, the Niners were back in the Superbowl, Michael J Fox was going Back to the Future, folks were humming “we are the world” and Michael Robert Sawyer founded Trade Printing. Michael Previously had been a partner in "X-pert Printing" and in three years after an aggressive expansion program, he tripled sales. Looking to capitalize on the high tech changes coming to the printing industry, he sold his interest in X-pert Printing and opened Trade Printing.

Over the years TRADE has thrived as a premier print and
graphic communications shop serving the San Francisco Peninsula and beyond.

In 2009 Michael decided to expand to offer online and offline
marketing and brand solutions along with TRADE’S established printing specialties.
