About Us
12 Points is a company fueled by the engine of multiple entities.
We believe in collaboration.
Our Companies
The 12 Points entity is the glue that cements five outstanding (and free-standing) independent production operations, with facilities in Seattle, Bellevue and Tukwila.
Each business has operated as a stand-alone business for decades. But owners John and Cortney DePasquale saw the synergy of leveraging the collective expertise and equipment set of each business to bring new capabilities and new opportunities to each company’s existing client base, and to the broader market. 12 Points was launched to unify the story, and the marketing efforts, for all of our brands.
Not simply a printer, but a true "one-stop" marketing partner.
Why 12 Points? Well, at our core, we have ink in our blood. Our name harkens to the traditions of the Gutenberg press – which forever changed how the world communicated. A pica is a unit of measurement specific to printing, roughly 1/6th of an inch. There are 12 points in a pica (think of 10 millimeters in a centimeter). So, just as 12 points fill the entire pica, our 12 Points fills your entire visual communications void.
We are creative problem-solvers.

In my role I manage up to 20 different vendors, and I find that proactive communication and great customer service are the keys to any successful business relationship. We’ve partnered with AAA Printing for many years because they are highly responsive, they are great communicators, and they understand us and our needs. They’re always willing to step up and help us in a bind. Their product quality is excellent, and Michelle (our rep) is amazing.
