My career began at Xerox in 1979. At the time, I had no idea that nearly two decades there would eventually lead me to start my own publishing and manufacturing company. Those years taught me the importance of strong relationships, smart systems, and doing what you say you're going to do. Lessons that still guide how we run Vervante today.
One of those relationships led me to a Silicon Valley startup, where I helped develop an on-demand book printing solution long before it became common. I found my stride in that environment, where creativity, technology, and opportunity intersected. It was there that I learned how powerful it can be when ideas are given the space and support to grow.
When the company was later acquired by Barnes & Noble.com and ultimately shut down during the dot-com crash in 2000, I saw it not as a failure, but as a turning point.
That's when Vervante was born.
I set out to build a different kind of company. One designed to remove friction, encourage exploration, and help creators move their ideas forward. From the beginning, Vervante has been about letting creativity flow by providing the tools, guidance, and partnership needed to turn concepts into tangible products.
Over the years, Vervante has become a trusted partner for entrepreneurs, coaches, authors, and brands creating planners, journals, books, card decks, workbooks, and curated product kits. We specialize in boutique-quality printing, whether you're producing a small test run or scaling into larger volumes, all supported by in-house warehousing and fulfillment.
As we enter our next quarter century in business, our philosophy is clearer than ever: Print with Intention.
Printing with intention means starting with your customer. Who are they? What problem are you helping them solve? What experience do you want them to have when they open the box, turn the pages, or use your product day after day? When those questions guide the process, creativity flows more easily, and the result is a product that feels purposeful and considered.
We help our customers make thoughtful choices, from formats and materials to finishes, packaging, and fulfillment. Every decision supports the bigger picture of creating products that are useful, memorable, and worth keeping.
We're known for combining creative vision with operational excellence. We print in the U.S., offer small-batch and scalable manufacturing, manage inventory, and ship directly to your customers from the same facility. Throughout the process, we keep you in control, including giving you access to your customer data, because your relationship with your customers matters.
At Vervante, you don't get a faceless vendor. You get a partner. A team that listens, understands your goals, and brings decades of experience to the table. I'm still deeply involved in the business and enjoy working directly with customers to help shape their ideas into tangible products.
Vervante was built for people with something to share. If you have an idea, a message, or a vision and want to bring it to life with clarity, care, and intention, we'd love to help you let your creativity flow.
We're so glad you're here!
Cindy Tyler, CEO & Founder
