· POLITICAL CAMPAIGN PRINTING · APTC UNION CERTIFIED
The Print Shop California Campaigns Have Trusted Since 1960
From the first round of mailers to the final GOTV door hanger, Mitchell prints the full campaign arsenal under one roof — every piece carrying the APTC union bug your endorsements require.
Built Around the Campaign Calendar
Campaign managers don’t need a printer who treats their work like a side project. Filing deadlines, debate dates, mail drop windows, GOTV crunch — every phase of a campaign has a print timeline attached to it, and missing that timeline can cost you a race.
Mitchell has been printing California campaigns for sixty-five years. We know what slate mailers cost to drop in a primary versus a general. We know what door hangers your field team can actually distribute in the last 96 hours. We know when an endorsement letter has to land in mailboxes to move votes. That institutional knowledge is what you’re hiring.
WHAT WE PRINT
The Full Campaign Arsenal — Under One Roof
Slate Mailers & Candidate Mailers
Full-color slate mailers, candidate-specific mailers, IE pieces, and endorsement mailers. Printed to your specifications, with bleeds, finishing, and packaging coordinated for your mail house.
Door Hangers & GOTV Literature
Door hangers for GOTV pushes, palm cards for precinct walks, push cards for events, multilingual pieces for diverse districts. Packaged in bundles your field team can grab and go.
Yard Signs & Banners
Corrugated yard signs (single and double-sided), H-stakes, large vinyl banners for rallies and endorsement events, table-top signage for fundraisers.
Walk Pieces & Palm Cards
The handouts that your volunteers leave at every door. Printed lightweight enough to carry by the thousand, sturdy enough to survive a clipboard.
Campaign Merch
Buttons, t-shirts, lapel pins, bumper stickers, tote bags — the gear that turns volunteers into walking endorsements.
Event & Fundraiser Printing
Invitations, programs, name tags, donor recognition signage, step-and-repeat backdrops for press events.
THE UNION BUG
Why Endorsed Campaigns Print Union
If your campaign carries a labor endorsement, a building trades council endorsement, or any major Democratic club endorsement — your printed materials almost certainly need to carry the Allied Printing Trades Council (APTC) union bug.
Many endorsements make this a hard requirement. Some make it a strong preference. Either way, the bug signals to labor-aligned voters that your campaign’s values match its vendors.
Mitchell carries the APTC label on every piece we produce. Not as an upsell. Not as an option. It’s how we print.

Campaign Emergencies Are Our Normal Workflow

“Mitchell has been our union printer for more campaign cycles than I can count. APTC bug is non-negotiable for our endorsements, and Mitchell’s quality has never failed us. Fast, professional, and they answer the phone — which you’d think would be a low bar, but ask anyone who’s run a campaign.”
— Maria R., Campaign Manager, Los Angeles
