About the Company

Founded in 1949 by Melvin Cohen as a small black‑and‑white photo lab, District Photo grew during the last half of the 20th century into a large wholesale photofinishing lab serving mid‑Atlantic retailers and a national mail‑order film business. In the late 1990s, under Neil Cohen’s leadership, DPI acquired a photo business in the UK and transitioned from a mid‑Atlantic film developing lab to multiple state‑of‑the‑art digital labs shipping millions of photos worldwide every day. Today, District Photo is one of the largest variable data printing companies in the world, with facilities comprising over a million square feet of manufacturing space and a global reach that sets them apart in the digital printing market. The company operates seven production fulfillment facilities in the United States (Maryland, Kentucky, Arizona), England, the Czech Republic, and Australia, delivering millions of prints, greeting cards, books, calendars, blankets, mugs, and other gift items yearly.
