VIP started in 1974 as a spin-off from Circulation Management, Inc. (CMI), a circular hand distribution company that originated plastic bag door-to-door delivery on Long Island in 1969.
Its clients, as VIP, are primarily the major supermarket chains.
In 1980, CMI became a distribution broker and in 1988 sold its delivery contracts to what eventually became Newsday’s hand delivery company.
In 1988, VIP went from a pre-press company & print broker to a full service printer with the aquisition of press.
By 1992, VIP had state-of-the-art, Apple-based pre-press equipment & presses.
VIP employs over 35 people to meet its customer’s requirements.
