Three generations of printing.
A family print shop serving Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland since 1957.
It started with Christmas cards.
Our story began in 1957 in Blue Island, Illinois, when William's grandfather, the first William Simmons, printed his very first line of Christmas cards. That small start grew into AC Graphix House.
Over the decades the business flourished under William's parents, Lee and Elaine Simmons, serving thousands of businesses, from local retailers to national brands. In 1999 the shop moved to Lansing, Illinois, and in 2014 we moved to Highland, Indiana to better serve our Northwest Indiana neighbors. We have been here ever since.

Third generation
William, his grandson, leads the shop, pairing new technology with the same family work ethic.
Printing is in the family.
Today William Simmons, named for his grandfather, is a third-generation printer who has been hands-on in the family business since childhood, starting with stuffing envelopes at age seven. Over the years he has brought in digital, wide-format and variable data printing while keeping the craftsmanship and work ethic passed down through the family.
Alongside him is his wife Tiffany, whose heart for people shapes how we treat every customer. When you call AC Graphix, you are working with the family, not a call center.
