Print Service Provider Track:
Topic:  Finishing & Fulfillment: Linking Digital Print to the Mailstream
in General Commercial Print Environments

Date:   Thursday May 19, 2005
Time:   11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Speaker

Océ customers Dana Place and Brian Weiner of One to One Gulfcoast are a
part of this experienced panel.
Many commercial printers have identified fulfillment as an important
value-added service for their clients, but how have they successfully
implemented it? General commercial print environments have unique
requirements for flexibility as customers bring in a range of print
applications…unlike direct mail or data center printing environments
where one application dominates. The right strategy for any service
provider depends on building application volume in key large accounts,
and then promoting that application across the customer base. Key
applications to be discussed in this session include postcards, folded
self-mailers, and mail that is inserted into envelopes.
