BRAINERD, MN – September 9, 2024 – CJK Group, Inc. announced today that it has relaunched Digital Lizard, a national leader in digital printing (formerly a part of Kodi Collective). 

Digital Lizard is a leading digital printer offering high-quality, specialty print solutions. With facilities in Mahwah, NJ; Las Vegas, NV; and Post Falls, ID, Digital Lizard provides a wide range of printed products and on-demand ordering and fulfillment services. Their diverse clientele includes small businesses, designers, high-end real estate agencies, franchises, travel and hospitality brands, and corporations with large sales forces. 

In March 2023, Digital Lizard was integrated into Kodi Collective to meet market demands for more streamlined marketing execution services. Following the acquisition of Kodi Collective by CJK Group in February 2024, the holding company recognized an opportunity to reach a broader and more diverse audience with Kodi Collective’s advanced digital print capabilities and equipment. This prompted the decision to revive the Digital Lizard brand, enabling the company to deliver more focused and personalized service to its customers. 

"We quickly learned that Digital Lizard was a memorable brand that resonated in the market,” said Harry Vinson, President of Digital Lizard. “Not only was the name so strong, but our unmatched strengths in both equipment and expertise enabled them to support everyone, from a single designer printing high-quality greeting cards to sell online, to larger enterprises requiring a streamlined, end-to-end workflow for their remote sales teams to print personalized marketing collateral on-demand. Combined with our ability to ship within 24 – 48 hours, Digital Lizard offers a unique service with national reach that is not widely prevalent within the industry.” 

Founded in 2005 in Hayden, Idaho, Digital Lizard began as the print production division of a leading personalized real estate magazine. Recognizing the rising demand for personalized print, they expanded to include innovative digital printing technologies, catering to industries such as healthcare, entertainment, financial services, and manufacturing. Their growth led to the opening of additional facilities in Las Vegas and New Jersey. In 2017, Digital Lizard joined LSC Communications, enhancing their global reach and supporting marketers, publishers, brands, and retailers. Today, as a part of CJK Group, Digital Lizard continues to provide fast, specialty print products using cutting-edge digital print technology.   

"We are thrilled to revive such a strong brand," said Chris Kurtzman, CEO of CJK Group. "This move aligns perfectly with the needs of our digital print customers across various industries, both large and small. It will enhance our flexibility and responsiveness to market demands, fostering national business growth. We aim for this brand to become the go-to, on-demand digital printer for businesses of all sizes across the country. Long live the lizard!"
