About Rocky Heights Print & Binding

Twenty years ago, two sisters — JaAnne and JoAnne — started a printing company out of a garage in Alabama. Both were working mothers with full-time jobs and no experience in commercial printing, but they had an entrepreneurial fire inherited from their mother. Two decades later, Rocky Heights Print & Binding employs more than 70 people and ships books and printed goods to businesses, authors and publishers across the country, becoming a trusted name in independent and self-publishing.
