In 2026, the United States reaches a historic milestone—250 years since its founding. What began as a bold experiment in freedom and self-governance has grown into a dynamic, resilient nation shaped by innovation, hard work, and a shared commitment to progress. Throughout that history, American businesses have played a vital role—driving economic growth, connecting communities, and supporting the exchange of ideas. Today, that legacy continues.
PRINTING United Alliance is proud to join Business for America in their nonpartisan Together for 250 (TF250) campaign, a nationwide initiative that brings businesses and associations together to commemorate this milestone through meaningful, unifying engagement.
The campaign encourages companies to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary in ways that resonate with employees, customers, and communities—highlighting the role of business in strengthening civic connection and fostering shared purpose.
By joining TF250, the Alliance reaffirms its commitment to the values that have long defined both the printing industry and the nation: innovation, opportunity, and service. As an industry rooted in communication and the free exchange of ideas, printing has been, and continues to be, central to the American story.
