A revolutionary idea — modernizing the production and content of yearbooks — in search of soldiers.

That’s where this American story starts. Decades in the yearbook industry and thousands of conversations with advisers and kids confirmed for our founders the need for custom, boutique options for staffs making yearbooks. Our founders needed a company large enough and nimble enough to bring their more perfect solution to life. 

Enter Taylor Corporation. One of the top-five graphics communications companies in North America, privately owned Taylor keeps inspiring all of us to find a better way. We work with the biggest brands on the planet. The same leading-edge presses printing corporate reports, brochures and catalogs for the brands you wear, the stores you visit and the sites you shop also print our books. All from one massive and modern complex in North Mankato, MN, which houses our innovation center and corporate offices for all Taylor divisions.

Taylor innovates. Period. Just consider our any-device page creation platform, our up-to-the-minute color calibrations and our real-world deadline structure giving staffs months longer to submit covers, endsheets and pages. We like to remind people we built our web-based page creation platform on HTML5 in 2017, and employ an entire team of programmers to keep it running briskly and dependably. 

AMERICAN YEARBOOKS IS A BOUTIQUE BRAND among a family of more than 50 Taylor companies. If you’ve walked in a bookstore, given or used a gift card, walked through a mall, ordered wedding invitations, been in charge of prom decorations or been wowed by story-high graphics in your favorite sports stores, you’ve seen Taylor.

* Respectfully, we understand Taylor is a popular family name. One we share with, but are not affiliated with, the Texas-based yearbook printer which used to be known by the same surname.
