CAPITAL PRINTING

Business Services > Printing and Publishing Services

Capital Printing Company was founded in 1929 and for 90 years has grown and prospered with the changing landscape of print by responding to the needs of our clients and the demands of the marketplace.

E.R. and Alma Harrell opened Capital in 1929 and within 3 years E.R. passed away leaving Alma with the responsibility of running a growing printing company. Alma was one of Austin’s first female business owners and helped to run the company until her death in 1968 and George Haberlin then became owner of Capital Printing Company.

During the 40’s and 50’s, printing jobs for the State of Texas kept the presses going. In the early 70’s, Capital was the largest publication and magazine printer in the State of Texas. Barkley Edwards and Bill Raby bought Capital Printing in 1973 and ran the company for over 13 years until Barkley took full ownership in 1986. In 1983, they built a new state-of-the-art plant where Capital currently resides. Capital imported the first 8-color double perfecting press into the US in 1993 to support the growing association client base. In September of 2018, a month shy of his 80th birthday, Barkley celebrated 60 years working for Capital Printing Company.

Copy Craft, owned by Danny Stockton, bought Capital Printing from the Edwards’ in 2005 and operated the business for 4 years before Mark Hayes with the Slate Group purchased Capital and helped to expand the equipment capabilities and grow the company into a regional printer.
