Monarch Direct was founded as the Big Red Q Quickprint Center at the A.G. Edwards Plaza in Port Charlotte, FL.

1990
Franchise Name Changed
Digital Printing Services at Quickprint Center near Punta Gorda FL

The name was changed to the Quickprint Business Center and moved to the Carrousel Mall.

Franchise Name Changed

Then, in 1998, the Quickprint Business franchise was dissolved and the name was changed to Monarch Printing & Design. The name was chosen because of the colorfulness of the butterfly and the amount of color work the business was turning to from the initial black & white work the “Quickprint type” shops were known for.

2000
Location Changed

In 2010 the company moved to the other end of the building and tripled its space with a production facility and a customer service and design suite. In April Monarch purchased a local Sign & Wrap Company, Wrap Sign & Design. This has helped the company grow into one of the leading sign & wrap companies in Charlotte County.
