Sharkey Graphic Solutions, located in Casco, Maine, was founded by Craig Sharkey in 2009 and is committed to a philosophy of beauty, structure, customer-confidence and community. Hard work, honesty and performance have allowed SGS to defy all the rough economic downswings and display excellent growth in an otherwise shrinking market.

Working as a Preflight Technician (digital file troubleshooter), for a multi-million dollar company, Craig became immediately aware of an industry-wide problem: Design files for printing were often problematic and/or improperly built. Quality, on-time delivery, customer confidence and profitability were all being negatively affected.

Sharkey Graphic Solutions LLC, means guaranteed print-ready files at fair and competitive pricing. Not just another ‘everyday designer’ but a provider of real solutions that consistently meet or exceed customer expectations. SGS continues to grow daily and is currently the trusted graphic designer for hundreds of clients, including more than a dozen area printers and print-brokers.

In May of 2012, Sharkey Graphic Solutions, LLC continued their growth with the purchase of Little Guy Press. Formerly located in Auburn, Maine, Little Guy Press was already an SGS client; a small community-minded print company dedicated to serving the ‘Little Guy’ and larger companies in the Lewiston/Auburn area.

In a rapid and seamless transition Sharkey Graphic Solutions immediately brought their ‘right-the-first-time’ processes and superior purchasing power to all the clients at Little Guy Press, instantly providing them with superior design, new product lines, extended free delivery area and in most cases a better product for a better price.

Many customers have asked how SGS offers such a consistently high level of quality at such competitive pricing. Craig answers, “In this current economic climate, everyone is struggling. We live and work like so many others in Maine. We waste little and spend wisely. Converting a portion of our home into the business helped us keep start-up costs down and overhead expenses to a minimum. By keeping operating costs under control, we can continually invest in superior technology our customers count on. Things like cutting edge software upgrades; ultra high-speed internet; continued education; expanded services; secure file storage; protected file backup, etc. with less impact to customer pricing and more impact on customer satisfaction.”
