Vermont's Only Envelope Specialists

Jet Service Envelope Company was created in 1975 as a subdivision of the Modern Printing Co. which was founded in 1915 by V. Lafargo, a publisher of Italian and English language newspapers in Barre. Garth W. Blow purchased the company in 1945 and expanded the the business into the leading printing establishment in Barre. In 1957, the Granite City Press was purchase and consolidated in the Modern Printing Co., which continued to grow and move to bigger locations.

In the 60's Modern Printing Co. added offset presses and was able to better serve the public, by combining offset and letterpress, a money saving technique that was relativly unheard of at the time. The next innovation was the addition of an offset two-color envelope press. This would allow for a much more efficient manner of printing that would increase the printing production of envelopes by 25%. This additional production ability would prove to be a cost-cutting measure that allowed the customer to see a real savings in cost.

In 1987, it was decided that the envelope printing part of Modern Printing was out growing the space that it occupied. It was planned at that point to purchase a 19-acre tract of land located on the South Barre Access Road and begin construction of a new plant to custom-fit the envelope company's needs. In July of 1988, Jet Service Envelope Co. moved into its newly constructed plant with its then three envelope presses and began expanding at a comfortable pace. In 1994, a fourth envelope press was added to allow for increased production. And again in 1996, with a decision to start a creative split 10-hour day shift that would allow for an additional increase of 25% more production.In 2000, a fifth envelope press was added to allow for increased production. Today Jet Service Envelope offers 4 color process printing with the addition of the 4 color envelope press, There are only 6 specially designed envelope printing presses in Vermont and all 6 of them are at our Barre Vermont location

In November 2005 we upgraded to electronic prepress and laser prepared plates. This technology allows for a complete chemical free system, creating a safer work place and more enviromentally freindly process.
