About this page: ReplicaPrinting.wiki is an independent record compiled from replicaprinting.com, the company’s Google Business Profile, USPS publications and general references. It is not operated by Replica Printing Services and does not take orders. Hours and prices change; confirm with the company at (858) 549-5380. Sourcing rules: editorial policy.

Founding date

The company dates itself to 2001. Its home page carries the line “Serving San Diego Since 2001,” its website metadata repeats it, and the about page says Replica Printing Services has been supporting businesses in the greater San Diego area since 2001.[1][2] The Poway and San Diego service pages say the company has been a trusted local printer since 2001.[3][4] No independent record of the founding, such as a dated newspaper item, was found for this reference, so 2001 is reported as the company’s own statement.

Some older wording on the site still counts the years from that start. The services page says the company has printed business cards, flyers, posters and other marketing materials for “nearly 20 years,” and the Poway and San Diego pages say “for 20 years.”[5][3][4] Those phrases fit copy written around 2020 or 2021 and have not been updated; measured from 2001, the company’s stated history was 25 years in 2026. The resolution guide on the company blog, dated 2019, says the company has provided printing services in San Diego “for over two decades.”[6]

Ownership

The about page, headed “Meet Us, Try Us, Know Us,” names Ryan Stevens as CEO/Owner and says the company is owned and operated by him. It describes him as a San Diego native and a San Diego State alumnus, and says he believes in building a trustworthy team that customers can count on; outside work it mentions family time, golf, softball and volleyball.[2] The Poway and San Diego service pages call Replica family-owned and operated by a close-knit team of printing experts.[3][4]

The official pages reviewed do not say whether Stevens founded the company in 2001 or acquired it later, and this reference does not guess. No other staff members are named on the pages reviewed. The company’s blog posts carry a generic company byline rather than named authors.[7][8]

Mission statement

The about page sets out the company’s mission as providing businesses of all sizes with exceptional customer service, the highest print quality, reliable turnaround and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. It says Replica is dedicated to “powering our clients through print,” collaborating from start to finish on a solution that elevates the client’s business.[2] These are the company’s words; the reviews and directory records that bear on them are summarized on reviews and reputation.

Long-standing clients

The home page features a testimonial attributed to the chief executive of a business-communications firm who says that firm had used Replica for 18 years for workbooks, flyers, posters and forms.[1] Other testimonials on the company’s testimonials page mention training manuals, posters, an 8-foot banner, books, a club newsletter and directory, and a credit application for repeat ordering.[9] Testimonials chosen by a company are marketing material; they are mentioned here only to show the kinds of work customers describe, and are not quoted at length.

The Poway location

The business location recorded here is 12170 Tech Center Drive, Poway, CA 92064. The company’s locations page names that address as its Business Center/Production Facility, and it is the address in the header of every page of the official site and the only address on the contact page.[10][1][11] The Poway service page says the office is just off Scripps Poway Parkway and Tech Center Drive.[3] A fuller description, with a map, is on Poway production facility and location and contact.

The print blog

The company has published a print blog since at least 2018. Early posts covered print versus screen reading (2018), image resolution (2019) and bookbinding (2019); reprographics posts followed in 2024; and from 2026 the blog published longer guides on digital versus offset printing, coated and uncoated paper, paper weight, file formats, Pantone spot colors, postcards, trade-show printing and same-day printing.[12][6][13][14][7][8][15][16] Several 2026 posts quote industry percentages without naming a checkable study; this reference uses the blog only for the company’s own practical guidance, such as its 300 DPI and 1/8-inch bleed advice.[6]
