We are Direct This year we have made a significant investment in the expansion of our direct mail capabilities with the opening of our brand new 73,000 square foot lettershop facility down the street from our headquarters. Bringing this capability in-house provides greater control, higher quality assurances, and a more streamlined, efficient workflow. It also eliminates the need for another vendor, providing you with a turn-key solution. To realize this goal, we have brought together recognized industry experts, as well as best-in-class technology. Truman Pope, VP Mail Operations, has over 25 years of industry experience, and has spearheaded this initiative. Truman and his team bring knowledge and expertise that will optimize the postal stream, ensuring that your mail will deliver as predictably as possible, and with the maximum penetration discounts. Our full service lettershop enables SPC to take your program from concept to in-home. Whether you are executing an acquisition, loyalty, or retention program, let us show you how we have already optimized DM costs and effectiveness.

We are Green. From the inside out, we are continually working to reduce our environmental impact and provide you with sustainable solutions. We are triple certified with the Forest Stewardship Council, Sustainable Forestry Initiative, and PEFC, and we also participate in the Direct Marketing Association s Please Recycle program. Our Chain of Custody certifications (CoC) ensure that your printed products can be traced back all the way to sustainable, well-managed forests. More specifically, a number of our staff have been certified as FSC Xperts and are here to help you choose environmentally appropriate and socially responsible papers. We recycle most all of our waste products (e.g. paper, corrugate, inks, plates, etc.) and use soybased inks whenever possible. We also have taken the added measure of joining the Green Business Alliance to guide the reduction of our carbon footprint. For example, we recently converted lighting in our main plant to LED. So, while everyone is singing from the green hymnal these days, saying you re green and actually being green are two very different practices. Let us show you how we can help greenify your next project. FPO A strip of Seed Paper Tipped On text to print on seed paper: This paper contains wildflower seeds. Thoroughly soak the paper in water.
