Established in 1985 in Hartland, Wis., Color Ink began as an extension of a commercial art studio, which offered print brokering services.

In 1989, the company relocated to Sussex, Wis., where it occupies a 100,000-square-foot building and employs nearly 100 people. The firm has worked on projects for companies such as Coca Cola and Dyson.
