Leaders in print, design, and mailing services.
With over thirty years of experience.
About Us
PPS was originally founded by a member of the Kirby family, a retired postmaster, to hand-sort mail for the Post Office located on 8th Street in Amarillo. In 1996, the Kirbys acquired one of the first mechanical readers/sorters in the Texas Panhandle, which allowed for mechanical sorting of mail. In 2000, the Austin family purchased PPS and moved the business to its current location on 9th Street. Since then, we have added a second PPS location in Lubbock and a sister company, Variverge, with locations in Dallas and Amarillo. With the introduction of more modern mailing equipment, we have also expanded our team to include in-house graphic designers and a print room, transforming us into a full-service direct mail company.
In January 2021, PPS acquired Zip Print, a long-standing full-service commercial printing company, which further enhanced our printing capabilities. Currently, we are operating at 920 SW 9th Avenue, Amarillo.
By providing excellent customer service and fast turnaround times, we have become a trusted business partner for hundreds of companies across the Texas Panhandle and the Texas Plains. Serving clients from various sectors—including retail, non-profits, agriculture, education, and banking—we are proud to be an industry leader with over twenty years of experience.
PPS & Zip Print combine design, print and mail experts under one roof with a unique flow of skills to work with your budget, meet your deadline, and extend excellent customer service for great results.
