Doug Koke

Doug Koke is not just the President of QSL Print Communications, he is the heart and soul of the company. A true aficionado of the craftsman trade of printing, it is not uncommon to see Doug on the production floor running a machine or consulting with a pressman. Doug loves to be a part of the printing process.

Commercial printing is the Koke family legacy. Doug’s grandfather, Joseph Koke, began a printing company in Eugene in 1907. There has been a Koke-run printing company in Lane County ever since. One hundred years later, in 2007, Doug created Koke New Century, Inc. as a launch pad for the next century of Koke printing. With this new company, Doug acquired QSL Print Communications, another family-owned business with a long history and exceptional reputation in the community. In the years since, Doug has created Quick Service Auction Printing and acquired two other local storefront businesses; instaprint and Century Print. Together, these businesses make up the most comprehensive commercial printing service in Lane County!

Doug’s commitment to service, growth, and technological advancement of the print trade has laid the groundwork for the next generation of the Koke family. As Doug prepares for retirement, Melissa Koke is preparing to take the helm. While the last century focused on the building of a family legacy, the next century will see that legacy pursue new systems of efficiency, automation, and sustainability that will ultimately reinforce the artisan values of a long-treasured craft.
