Based in the Kansas City suburb of New Century, KS, USA, Stouse is a trade-only specialty print provider that supplies applications such as labels, decals, magnets and signs to a wide range of clients. The company opened its doors as a screen and flexographic printer in 1977 and has since grown significantly in more than 40 years. At any point in time, there are some 3,000 active jobs in the shop.
