Who is Hillview Design Print Media?

A brief glimpse into the past, present, and future of The Printer you can count on from Design to Delivery

For printing industry leader Hillview Design Print Media , the passion to help companies build their business is what fuels them. Being a successful print company since 1987, the staff of Hillview Design Print Media has seen it all from major economic challenges to unparalleled success in their business.


Since 1987 , Hillview Design Print Media has purchased 8 printing businesses in all. It all started when current President Beth Walker was working for Rainbow Press in San Jose, California, in 1997. The previous owner decided to sell Rainbow Press. Beth, who had worked in printing all along, decided to take the plunge and buy the company.


As with any new venture, the first year was slow, but only for a short while. The company grew from $187K the first year to over $400K within a short period. Beth invested in building strong relationships with her clients, rather than “just selling.” People came to her through word-of-mouth advertising. That set the ball rolling and she bought Hillview Printing in Milpitas in 2004 that almost doubled the size of Rainbow Press. She kept the Hillview Printing name. Beth was on a journey of becoming a printing conglomerate. She bought Murphy’s printing in 2005 when its owner approached her for the deal, she took over CC Graphics , Impress 2000 , Innovative Print Media in 2008-09, and Campbell Graphics in 2012. Most recently, Beth bought Norman Paul’s Print Center in Campbell in October 2017. “I am proud of my accomplishments,” said a beaming Beth. “We have come out of the 'bad economies' a little bruised but stronger than ever!”


Beth is a philanthropist who believes in paving the way forward. She embodies cooperative networking. She has been a part of many groups and given her innate quality to help. She has won Local Member of the Year , National Member of the Year , and many Excellence Awards . But her most ‘prized’ award is the Spirit of Success Award by AT&T . She was the only one from the entire Western region that year to be handpicked for this prestigious award.


Beth is currently involved in BNI Highrise group that meets weekly at the Silicon Valley Capital Club and is the Managing Director of the Morgan Hill / South County Polka Dot Powerhouse (a national women’s networking group). Beth takes the most pride in helping women entrepreneurs grow their businesses.


Beth is a great mentor and if you have questions about building your own business or buying out another company, feel free to invite her for coffee! Beth is more than willing to share some robust insights. Beth's resilience, business acumen, and compassion will definitely redefine how you do business.


The future of Hillview Design Print Media is bright. Since our humble beginnings when Beth purchased Rainbow Press, Hillview Design Print Media has grown by over 800% and continues to climb.


In an era of diminishing customer experience and service, Hillview Design Print Media goes above and beyond by treating our clients like family.


Hillview Design Print Media is the only family-owned print company in the Bay Area that utilizes an unrivaled 5 step process for commercial printing and promotional products. We call it “The Hillview Way”
