From our Corporate Solutions Group
The primary focus of the Corporate Solutions Group (CSG) at Graphic Communications is to provide print procurement solutions to end user-companies that spend significantly — and want to save significantly — on the cost of printed materials. We show you how to “Find the money. Get the money. Keep the money.”
The CSG helps national and global organizations recognize that the benefits of an organized paper and print procurement program include price, development, implementation, and supplier consistencies. This makes a standardized, centrally managed approach to printing possible, which is infinitely more efficient than fragmented print management strategies.
“We don’t shy away from complex print procurement cases. In fact, we’re really the first company to bring together all the components of paper and print management into the same framework at this level of understanding,” said Graphic COO Ken Russell. “We know paper, we know printing, we know process, and we have the advanced technology. It’s a unique confluence of things that even the best business consultants can’t offer. We don’t just consult. We execute. And our print procurement solutions strip away the things that don’t have value to you.”
The Corporate Solutions Group provides end-user customers like you the best price, service, and quality for all your paper and printed material needs. We leverage the brick and mortar assets of our parent company, Unisource, while retaining a signature brand of personal service and the flexibility of a pure print brokerage that only we can. If you’re struggling to understand, control, and manage your paper and print expenses, we are the one-stop choice for print procurement solutions that reduce your print spend.
Print procurement solutions: what we provide
We work with end users to create, implement, and manage national paper and print programs that measurably lower the total cost of printed materials. Corporate clients can either buy commonly used paper directly from us or can instruct their print vendors to buy from us at pre-negotiated prices. For less commonly used products, we offer comprehensive access to virtually every major manufacturer’s product line — always at competitive, preferential pricing.
An enterprise print management partnership with our company means the transparent sharing of information that readily identifies supply chain cost savings opportunities. The Corporate Solutions Group promotes unsurpassed choice, flexibility, volume-leveraged purchasing, supply assurances, and uninterrupted workflow. As highly experienced print procurement consultants, we employ best-in-class technologies and custom reporting to continuously monitor and improve the performance of your paper and print program.
Big print spenders: who we help
The CSG works with any company that manages a significant annual spend on printed materials. This includes, but is not limited to, banks, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, telecommunications firms, computer software and hardware manufacturers, and travel and entertainment providers. We also work with consumer-driven organizations, including those in the electronics, retail, cosmetics, and apparel sectors.
We are of great value to companies with strong national and global brand recognition driven at least in part by printed communications such as direct mail, in-store collateral, magazine inserts, and freestanding inserts, to name a few.
Directed-buy paper program: how we do it
Many companies have experienced substantial savings when they gain visibility and control of their print supply chain through strategic print procurement. The objective of our directed-buy paper program is to help you control the cost of paper, and therefore, the total expense of printing. Publishers have known this for years. The CSG can help you get in the game.
We have the elements for your success: the expert print sourcing solutions, the creative marketing solutions, and the expansive resources to bring it all together. We will help you capture and interpret all the details of your paper and print spend, resulting in consistent and disciplined purchasing, and ultimately, a lower overall cost of ownership.
Let Graphic Communications do for you what we’ve done for countless others for nearly 30 years — take the paper off your desk and push it into the world of your consumers!
