Our Story: 45+ Years of Print Excellence

From a small print shop in Santa Ana to a nationwide HOA mailing partner — the journey of Forest Printing and AssociationMailer.

Est. 1979

Built on a Foundation of Quality and Service

In 1979, Forest Printing opened its doors in Santa Ana, California, with a simple mission: deliver exceptional print quality and reliable service. What began as a small commercial printing operation quickly grew as word spread about our commitment to craftsmanship and on-time delivery.

As Southern California's housing boom brought thousands of new homeowner associations into existence, we found ourselves increasingly serving the unique communication needs of these communities. HOA boards and property managers needed a partner who understood their tight deadlines, compliance requirements, and the importance of clear, professional communications with residents.

Over the decades, we invested in specialized mailing equipment, USPS automation technology, and streamlined workflows specifically designed for the association mailing process. What started as an add-on service became the heart of our business. AssociationMailer was born from this focus — a dedicated brand representing our deep expertise in HOA print and mail services.

Today, from our facility at 1714 E Wilshire Ave in Santa Ana, we serve hundreds of HOAs and property management companies across the United States. Our team of print specialists, mailing experts, and client services professionals continues the tradition that started over four decades ago: quality work, delivered on time, every time.
