Company History

Craig LeMasters founded Graphic Detail (now known as GDI) in 1996. The company’s beginnings were simple. It all started with one small vinyl cutter, a computer and two employees in the basement of Craig’s Akron home. Nights and weekends turned into full work weeks and additional employees were soon added. As the business grew, the company moved into a small retail store in 1998 and again into a larger commercial building in 2002.

Today, GDI is one of the most well-respected, full-service graphic arts and manufacturing companies in the country. Our new 14,000 square-foot state-of-the-art facility based in Kent, Ohio, is home to a staff of 15 designers, craftsmen and associates with a combined total of more than 100 years of knowledge and experience.

While the company has significantly evolved over the years, one thing has remained the same. Craig – GDI president and CEO – still follows the same simple philosophy: “Give each customer the best product faster and less expensively than anyone else in the industry.”

It’s a philosophy that GDI is proud to stand by and one that our many loyal customers can attest to as well.
