"This system doubles our current productivity speeds and triples our overall capacity," Hagler commented.
Papa John's established its in-house Preferred Marketing Solutions, in the mid-1990s to reduce costs and gain greater control of its considerable print volume.
The division has grown consistently at 20 per cent -22 per cent per year-over-year the past five years.
Printing for outside customers has grown from 10 per cent to 40 per cent of overall volume and Hagler predicts that figure will jump to 50 per cent in 2007.
Hagler explained: "Our franchisees are not required to buy their printing from us.
The new press system gives us a clear advantage in competing to earn their business and the business of outside customers." Founded in 1984 and based in Louisville, Kentucky, Papa John's now has almost 3,000 restaurants in 49 US states and in 23 countries.
Seventy-five per cent of the restaurants are independently owned franchises.
The printing division provides complete pre-press, sheetfed, web offset and bindery capabilities, as well as in-house postal handling and direct mail services.
