Company history

Children Eric, Gina and Kyle Danner later joined the business and transitioned it to a personalized direct marketing and commercial printing provider, under the name of Mail Print. NextPage was born in 2013 when three strong regional print providers, Mail Print, L & L Manufacturing and Graphic Services, merged to form one company. The ownership of NextPage is Eric Danner, Gina Danner and Larry Wittmeyer, Jr. The three had worked on projects together for over twenty years and decided that the printing landscape in the region was primed for something new.
