“If your approval process lives in someone’s inbox, you don’t have a process. You have a hope.” – Bryan Bolger, VP of Operations

Bryan has seen it more times than he can count. A great team, a regulated mailing ready to go, and the final sign-off is buried in an email thread from three weeks ago. Someone’s asking which version is the real one. Audit prep turns into a scavenger hunt.

That’s not a people problem. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺. Good people end up as the glue holding disconnected systems together.

When approvals, versions and audit trails are built right into the workflow, that weight comes off. The answer is already there, the right version is the only version, and audit prep is just another Tuesday.

Your team gets to focus on the message. The system handles the discipline.

Saturday night we swapped the pressroom for a gala. ✨

Jessica Moss represented Bolger at Women Mean Business 2026, WomenVenture’s annual celebration of the women building businesses across the Twin Cities. Short version: she had an absolute blast and came back fired up.

Some context: women entrepreneurs receive only 𝟮% 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹. Two. Percent. For more than 25 years, WomenVenture has been working to change that by opening doors to capital, coaching and opportunity for women who want to build something of their own.

Then it got personal. 🧡

One of the night’s honorees was Rachel, owner of Sweet Salon & Barber Shoppe in Chanhassen. Jessica has been sitting in Rachel’s chair since they were both in their early 20s. With WomenVenture’s help, Rachel took her salon from a dream to a business that’s all about cuts, color and real community care. Watching a whole room celebrate her was something else.

As a family-owned Minnesota company, we know what it takes to build something from the ground up and keep it going. Behind every small business is someone who bet on themselves, and a community that showed up for them.

Congrats, Rachel. And thank you, WomenVenture, for making sure more women get that shot. 🥂
(And yes, that hair? Rachel’s work. 💇‍♀️)

Your file looked perfect on screen. Cute. 😅

You hit send, and then the waiting starts. You’re hoping what shows up matches what you approved, because once it leaves your desk, your name is still on it.

So here, your file doesn’t just go to a press. It goes to people.

Prepress catches the font that didn’t embed and the 72 dpi image that was about to print blurry. Press operators pull sheets to make sure your brand color is your brand color, not its slightly sad cousin. By the time it’s cut, folded and finished, 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘀 have been on it.

A PDF has never once caught its own mistake. Our people catch them for a living.

Which means the only surprise when you open the boxes is how good it looks. 🧡

The step nobody puts in a brochure. 🧡

That’s Juando, jogging a stack before it goes under the cutter. Basically, he shakes every sheet into perfect alignment so the blade hits the exact same spot on sheet #1 and sheet #1,500.

Skip it or rush it and the trim drifts. A margin gets chewed up. A border goes crooked. The photo on your recipe card loses its edge. Nobody notices this step. They only notice when it goes wrong.

So why should you care?

Because 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝗉𝖺𝗋𝗍 𝗈𝖿 𝗒𝗈𝗎𝗋 𝗉𝗋𝗈𝗃𝖾𝖼𝗍 𝗒𝗈𝗎’𝗅𝗅 𝗇𝖾𝗏𝖾𝗋 𝗌𝖾𝖾 𝗂𝗌 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝗉𝖺𝗋𝗍 𝗍𝗁𝖺𝗍 𝗆𝖺𝗄𝖾𝗌 𝗂𝗍 𝗅𝗈𝗈𝗄 𝗋𝗂𝗀𝗁𝗍. Juando has been doing this for 30+ years. He can tell a stack is off before the machine does.

Earplugs in, hat on, hands on the paper. That’s who’s handling your work.

The Pillars That Truly Hold the Place Up 🏛️✨

Our architectural pillars are not quite typical; concrete mixes with reused timber, bricks give way to stones, and art covers the walkways. Our interior looks nothing like a stereotypical corporate office; it was designed that way on purpose. Dik and Carmen created this place so that it would reflect the essence of who we really are: grounded in craftsmanship, respectful of character, and people-centered.

Our mismatched pillars are the pillars of our story. You do not create a legacy of 90+ years plus with cold perfection; you create a legacy with true texture:

🫂Bolger’s People: The loyal operators, binders, planners, and problem solvers who come with dedication and pride every single day.

🗞️Respect for the Craft: Recognizing the solid foundations of the print world while moving towards modernization in space and technology.

🎨A Creative Spirit: An environment built on art, warmth, and camaraderie of people who get to know each other’s names.

Presses, automation, and paper stocks are important, yet they are only the equipment in the room. It is the human pillars that keep it all up. 💜

Good Food, Good People, Zero Dropped Balls 🌭🥨

Today was all about the smell of crockpot brats, sauerkraut, and constant laughs in our Como and Kasota breakrooms for Bolgertoberfest. These are the days that make 90+ years of family possible.

At the root of every perfectly printed sheet, complicated mailing job, or automated process is the people enjoying this food: Pressmen, Bindery Teams, IT Architects, and Account Managers who watch out for each other day in and day out.

As soon as we get together to eat lunch, tell some tales, and catch our breath, we're not just celebrating the fall. We're making sure that the trust and teamwork and camaraderie that will carry us back into the print shop once lunch is done.

Great work has always started with great people.

366 Years of Craft: Why Retention Protects Your Bottom Line ⚙️🎉

In an era of high turnover and transactional manufacturing, stability is not just a nice culture metric. It is your greatest operational defense. When print runs are complex, deadlines are tight, and brand standards leave zero margin for error. You need seasoned operators, office personnel, and everyone in between who know the role inside and out, anticipate friction before it occurs, and treat precision as second nature.

For our September milestones, we totaled the numbers across this single team: 366 combined years of institutional knowledge, technical mastery, and operational grit.

From dik marking 52 years to our newest teammates setting the standard at year two, that staying power is why enterprise brands trust Bolger to deliver without surprises.

Huge congratulations to our September all-stars:
dik B. – 52 Years
Pat W. – 42 Years
Tom H. – 31 Years
Bill N. – 31 Years
Shawn M. – 30 Years (Major Milestone)
Roni A. – 30 Years (Major Milestone)
John F. – 26 Years
Mike B. – 24 Years
Rich S. – 21 Years
Todd D. – 16 Years
Dan J. – 16 Years
Andy P. – 14 Years
Megan L. – 8 Years
Mariel B. – 8 Years
Joe J. – 5 Years (Milestone)
Daisy S. – 3 Years
Rocio P. – 3 Years
John C. – 2 Years
Noel G. – 2 Years
Elizabeth H. – 2 Years
Pakou V. – 2 Years
Kenny C. – 2 Years

Whether you have been here across five decades or are just getting started, thank you for bringing your best to the floor every day.

Why the Coming Wave of New Talent Will Be Great For Your Supply Chain 🎓🌱

This week, more than 2,000 Blue Devils came ready to learn and impress at the UW-Stout Polytechnic Career Conference. We traveled to Menomonie because the future of print manufacturing and technical design begins in places like that.

If you run an enterprise brand, marketing team, or any complex operation, this is what you need to know:

The new generation is entering manufacturing, packaging, and design with sustainability as an absolute prerequisite rather than a marketing pitch. They don’t question whether operations can be clean, efficient, and sustainable. They question how quickly we can scale such solutions.

For our clients, this translates into savings and improved reputation directly.

When our industry has a pool of talented and innovative workers:

🌳It results in smarter workflows that reduce waste and eliminate unnecessary material and shipping expenses.

🌳It provides proactive environmental accountability that helps you comply with difficult ESG requirements without additional administrative efforts.

🌳It provides long-term operational stability created by a 90+ year family business investing in the next 10 years of problem solvers.

Thank you to UW-Stout, Career Services and everyone who came to challenge the old paradigms and push the boundaries further.

When the people creating your collateral are as passionate about the planet and processes as you are, everyone wins.

It is easy to assume the secret to business longevity is constant reinvention.

In reality, the companies that last decades usually master the opposite: knowing exactly what not to touch.

When our Account Executive Jessica Moss attended the MSPBJ Family-Owned Business Forum, the conversation among iconic Twin Cities leaders kept circling back to three quiet, foundational truths:

Guard your identity fiercely. When Dayna Frank, CEO of First Avenue & 7th Street Entry, was asked what will never change about their venue, she pointed straight to the painted stars on the exterior walls. Public trust lives in the things you refuse to compromise, even when everyone else is modernizing for modernization’s sake.

Pruning is how you grow. Aaron Meyerring of Electric Fetus shared how they let go of a wholesale business model to focus entirely on their storefront. You do not build an enduring brand by trying to be everything; you build it by being unmistakable at one thing.

Find people who treat the work personally. Jessica asked the room what makes non-family team members thrive in multi-generational companies. The answer was immediate: care. At the end of the day, no strategy or process replaces working with people who take quiet pride in the details.

Tools, formats, and technology evolve, but the core of an enduring organization remains the same: stand for something specific, do it exceptionally well, and build relationships that outlast a single transaction.

Which of these resonates most with how you lead your own team? Let us know in the comments, or connect directly with Jessica Moss to talk about what you are building.
