Beautiful print work for beauty brands.
From campaign lookbooks to press kits - built for beauty brands.
In beauty, the printed piece is a product. The finish on a lookbook cover, the color accuracy of a lip shade in a catalog, the weight of a press kit in an editor's hands - these details signal whether a brand belongs at the prestige level or not. Thomas Group Printing works with beauty brands that hold every touchpoint to an uncompromising standard. We're based in Manhattan, in a city that runs on beauty industry deadlines, and we've built our operation to deliver accordingly.

Beauty print work is unforgiving. A lip color that reads wrong on a catalog page undermines the product it's meant to sell. A press kit that doesn't feel premium signals the wrong things before it's even opened. The margin for error is essentially zero - and we've been working at that standard for over a century.
Color that matches what's in the bottle.
Cosmetics brands live by color accuracy - a foundation range, a lip collection, an eyeshadow palette all have to reproduce faithfully in print. Our press operators work with calibrated profiles and Pantone matching across substrates so what's on press matches what's on shelf.
Finishes that feel as good as they look.
Soft-touch lamination, spot UV, foil stamping, embossing - the tactile quality of a printed piece carries as much brand meaning as the imagery on it. We handle premium finishing in-house, so the spec you choose is the result you get, without a second vendor in the chain.
Short runs without short-changing quality.
A limited-edition launch kit, a press preview mailer, a boutique retailer sell-in package - beauty's best print work often happens at low quantities. We produce short runs with the same press attention and material standards as high-volume orders, every time.

We're not just a printer, we're a full-service production partner.
Beauty print is detail-intensive at every stage, from choosing a substrate that holds color the way prestige packaging demands, to ensuring a press run is consistent when a product color is the whole point. We manage the full production journey with the checkpoints and communication your team needs to stay in control.
Consultation
We work through substrate, format, and finish options before a file is ever submitted. For beauty clients, that often means evaluating uncoated stocks, soft-touch laminates, and cover weights that align with how the brand wants to feel in someone's hands.
Prepress
Every file is reviewed before it goes to press - color profiles checked, rich blacks flagged, bleed and safe zones confirmed. Beauty files often involve dense photography and color-critical product imagery, and our prepress team is experienced with exactly those pitfalls.
Production
Our press operators manage ink density, color profiles, and registration throughout every run. For beauty output - where a product color is a brand asset - consistency from first sheet to last isn't a goal, it's the baseline we hold ourselves to on every job.
Finishing & Fulfillment
Soft-touch lamination, foil stamping, spot UV, saddle stitching, perfect binding - all handled in-house. We coordinate delivery around your launch date or retailer deadline, so your press kit lands when it needs to and your campaign materials ship on schedule.

Built for the teams that care about the details.
Beauty print is rarely a one-person decision. The creative director is protecting a visual identity that's been refined across every channel. The marketing manager is working backward from a launch date with no room to slip. The founder is holding every printed piece to the same standard as the product itself. We've structured our operation to serve all three - with the expertise, communication, and consistency each role depends on at every stage of a production run.
Creative Directors & Brand Designers
Your job is to make sure the printed piece reflects the brand as precisely as the packaging does. We collaborate closely on substrate selection, color approval, and proofing so there are no surprises between the design file and the finished piece.
Marketing Managers & Brand Managers
Launch calendars don't move, and neither do retailer ship dates. We build production schedules around your fixed dates, manage proofing efficiently, and give you clear status at every step so you're never chasing an update when you have other fires to manage.
Founders & Heads of Product
You're holding every printed touchpoint to the same standard as the product in the box. We work with founders who care about that level of detail - and we match it with a production process built on 110 years of doing this at the highest level NYC demands.
