Tariff-Free Printing at Printing Partners

April 8, 2025 • By Kraig Downham, Marketing Director, Printing Partners

The U.S.-China trade war has print buyers facing rising costs from tariffs on imported materials. At Printing Partners, we offer tariff-free printing using American-made materials: Billerud’s Anthem Plus press sheets, Toyo Ink, and Lynx by Domtar. Based in Indianapolis, we ensure stable pricing, fast delivery, and support for American workers while delivering top-quality prints.

Why Choose Tariff-Free Printing?

Foreign Costs Are Climbing
Tariffs on goods from China, now at 104% as of April 9, 2025, under Section 301, make overseas printing a lot pricier (USTR). For example, a $100 print job jumps to $204—or more with shipping and possible $1.5M port fees on Chinese ships (USTR Proposal). Books might dodge this with a loophole for “informational materials” (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)), but it’s shaky and could close anytime (Cornell Law). Tariff-free printing with Printing Partners cuts out these surprise costs. As a result, you get steady pricing and protection from trade war ups and downs.

Our American-Made Materials

We source our key materials domestically to keep your printing tariff-free. Here’s what we use:

Anthem Plus by Billerud

We use Anthem Plus press sheets from Billerud, made at their Quinnesec Mill in Michigan. However, Billerud also produces papers in Sweden and Finland. Anthem Plus, though, is 100% USA-made, ensuring it’s tariff-free and supports American manufacturing.

Lynx by Domtar

For uncoated printing needs, we offer Lynx by Domtar, made at Domtar’s Johnsonburg Mill in Pennsylvania. This great paper, known for its runnability and color reproduction, is USA-made, adding another tariff-free option.

Toyo Ink

We use Toyo Ink by Toyo Ink America, produced in Wood Dale, Illinois, near Chicago. Now part of the Artience Group, this locally made ink keeps our supply chain tariff-free. Plus, it delivers great print quality.
