Business Wire
Today, Standard Register (NYSE:SR), a leading provider of
document services, announced it has completed the majority of a $10
million refresh of its national network of digital printing
centers, aimed at heightening customer service, expanding overall
capabilities and improving environmental sustainability.
Since January, the company has transformed five of its regional
print centers into “super centers,” equipping each with high-speed,
high-quality color printing, and in-line finishing and bindery
capabilities. In addition, the regional centers and Standard
Register’s three largest satellite facilities were upgraded with
the latest high-speed, monochrome printing equipment as well as
wide-format printers.
Advances in production have been complemented by new digital
workflow technology. Rolled out across Standard Register’s entire
digital print network, the software allows Web-based orders to move
from customer desktops through the production process with minimal
intervention. It automatically routes jobs to the printer center
most convenient to the customer, which dramatically improves
fulfillment times and reduces freight costs for the customer.
“This investment creates a strategic advantage for us and
significant value for our customers,” said Joe Klenke, vice
president of manufacturing for Standard Register. “The marketplace
is changing. Customers want and expect high quality, customized
printed materials, yet they want to reduce their time to market.
We’ve aligned our resources and enhanced our capabilities to meet
those expectations.”
According to Klenke, the new capabilities also create growth
opportunities in Standard Register’s commercial, healthcare and
industrial businesses, particularly among marketing and training
professionals. With specially-equipped super centers in major
markets, he said that the company can respond to delivery
requirements for customized booklets, flyers, mailers, kits,
binders and posters, with calibrated color that rivals offset print
quality.
Implementation of the new digital printing fleet is also
yielding important benefits for the environment. “Our new fleet is
more energy-efficient, requiring 37 percent less energy to
operate,” Klenke reported. “It is enabling us to lower ozone
emissions, and reduce both paper and toner waste.”
In addition to five regional super centers, Standard Register
operates a network of 14 satellite print centers that are focused
on meeting local market requirements and fulfilling the needs of
national customers on a local basis. The company will continue to
upgrade the remaining 11 satellite facilities with new monochrome
printing into 2011.
“The transformation of our digital print network is another
strategic step in achieving organizational excellence – an
excellence that will translate to exceptional service for our
customers, significant efficiencies for the company and a greener
environment for our communities,” said Joe Morgan, president and
CEO for Standard Register.
