Our

History

Mr. Manuel Green started hand engraving on his kitchen table in 1938. By 1954, Precision Rubber Plate Inc. became a supplier to Procter & Gamble’s Soap and Granules division.

Within the first year of working with P&G, Mr. Green developed a product that revolutionized the printing industry: PRINT CARDS. For the first time, artwork was prepared in miniature form, so graphics could be approved before corrugated containers were printed. Thus began the history of innovation at PRP.

From customizing manufacturing equipment to pioneering and continually improving print plate technologies, PRP is an industry leader.
