About the company

Founded in 1949 by Melvin Cohen as a small black‑and‑white photo lab, District Photo grew 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 film developing to multiple state‑of‑the‑art digital labs shipping millions of photos worldwide daily. Today, District Photo is one of the world’s largest variable‑data printing companies, with over a million square feet of manufacturing space across seven production‑fulfillment facilities in the United States (Maryland, Kentucky, Arizona), England, the Czech Republic, and Australia. The company delivers millions of prints, greeting cards, books, calendars, blankets, mugs, and other gift items annually.
