1. About the ACCJ and What Membership Means

Established in 1948, the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ACCJ) is one of the most influential international business organizations in Asia. Representing hundreds of global corporations, mid-sized enterprises, innovative startups, and individual executives operating in Tokyo, Kansai, and Chubu, the ACCJ plays a central role in fostering international trade, economic cooperation, and bilateral commerce between Japan and the global business community.

Being listed as an ACCJ Company Member reinforces our mission: providing international companies, expat executives, trade show exhibitors, and foreign founders with a verifiable, reliable, native English-speaking commercial printing partner in Japan.

2. Why Operational Trust Matters to Foreign Businesses in Japan

When foreign companies establish operations, launch products, or exhibit at major trade shows in Japan, selecting vendors is a matter of risk management and trust.

Foreign marketing teams, procurement officers, and event managers often face significant friction when trying to order commercial printing through traditional Japanese channels:

1. The Language & Communication Barrier

Domestic Japanese printing platforms operate 100% in Japanese. Ordering interfaces, paper specification forms, and pre-press error logs are written in Japanese Kanji, making self-service ordering risky for non-Japanese speakers.

2. Pre-Press & Font Conversion Failures

Automated Japanese printing portals automatically reject non-Japanese vector fonts or non-standard canvas sizes, returning automated error codes without human pre-press support.

3. Payment & Billing Locks

Domestic Web-to-Print sites require domestic Japanese credit cards, local furigana billing names, or domestic bank transfers (*Furikomi*), blocking overseas corporate credit cards.

4. Zero Event Venue Logistics

Domestic online printers ship exclusively via standard postal courier to residential or office street addresses. They will not coordinate direct booth delivery to exhibition halls or hold packages at hotel reception desks for arriving business travelers.

Print Japan eliminates all of these pain points. As an ACCJ Company Member operated by Mochiron Co., Ltd., we combine the speed and precision of local Japanese commercial printing facilities with 100% native English communication, human pre-press file checks, international credit card acceptance, and direct venue logistics.
