With more than 150 years of combined industry expertise, no one knows more about keeping your costs at a minimum and your productivity at its maximum.

In addition to providing high-quality print supplies they also provide a fundraising platform to help support the families of our troops and other non-profits. They proudly donate a percentage of all compatible imaging supply sales back Operation Once in a Lifetime. They make hiring veterans a priority and are expanding both their offerings and contributions nationwide.

The Change We Seek™
Caliber Technologies is proud to be a Social Enterprise with a focus on environmental responsibility and honoring the heroes of our Armed Forces.
In 2011, they hope to double their contributions to Operation Once in a Lifetime - a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created to make the dreams of U.S. soldiers come true. Operation Once in a Lifetime provides free financial and emotional support to U.S Service members, their families and veterans regardless of rank, deployment, physical condition or branch or service. Simply put, if you serve, then you qualify. When you buy from Caliber Technologies, you help this cause with every page you print. They are proud to buy local and source our vendors who manufacture inside the US. Their main product line comes directly from their manufacturer just 3 miles north of the corporate office in Los Angeles County. By buying products from the US, they minimize their carbon footprint and support local economies. In addition, this product line is composed of approximately 70% recycled materials and is made in an ISO 14001 certified factory.
