Leading print and marketing solutions provider earns recognition among largest U.S.-based franchise systems

DENVER, Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AlphaGraphics, a leading franchisor of printing and marketing solutions, has been named to the 2026 Franchise Times Top 400, ranking No. 190 with more than $330 million in systemwide sales.

"AlphaGraphics continues to grow because our franchise owners understand what businesses need and know how to deliver solutions that make an impact," said AlphaGraphics Vice President of Franchise Development Bill McPherson. "Entrepreneurs want a business that gives them room to build relationships in their own communities while providing the systems and support of an established global brand, and that's exactly what AlphaGraphics offers."

The recognition comes during a period of growth for the printing and franchise sectors. Franchise Times reported that sales across the category increased 7.4% in 2025, making it the third-fastest-growing major franchise sector included in this year's analysis.

Local Expertise Backed by a Global Network

AlphaGraphics franchise owners provide businesses with a comprehensive range of print, marketing and visual communications services. Solutions include digital and large-format printing, signs, direct mail, promotional products, design services and marketing solutions.

"Our franchise owners aren't simply selling print products," McPherson said. "They're helping their customers solve business challenges. Whether a client needs signs for a new location, a direct mail campaign to reach new customers or a complete visual communications strategy, our owners have the tools and expertise to bring those ideas to life."

A Franchise Model Built for Growth

The Franchise Times Top 400 is based on global systemwide sales and provides sales and unit growth data on the largest U.S.-based franchise brands. The 2026 ranking found that combined annual sales among the largest U.S.-based franchisors increased 4.3% in 2025 to $784.6 billion.

Franchise Times Editor in Chief Laura Michaels said the annual ranking gives both franchisees and franchisors a clearer picture of system performance across the industry.

"Backed by more than 25 years of research, the Top 400 provides sales and unit growth data points that are essential to understanding franchise system performance," Michaels said. "Our team of researchers and reporters provides comprehensive segment analysis that is used by existing and prospective franchisees to evaluate a brand's health and by franchisors to gauge how they stand up against their competitors."

The Franchise Times recognition adds to a growing list of accolades for AlphaGraphics in 2026. The company ranked No. 21 on the Printing Impressions 300 and No. 91 on Franchise Direct's Top 100 Global Franchises list.
