NLN Managed Services for Print are ideally suited
for those organizations that don't have print production, procurement
or sourcing expertise but still require end-to-end visibility and accountability
over their entire print supply chain. NLN Managed Services for Print
can be engaged to supplement your own staff on a project basis or to
manage a company or organizations entire print production and spend.
NLN Managed Services for Print are delivered by a leading team of print
management experts and have helped global companies reduce print-related
costs by 20% or more.
NLN's Print Management Advisory (PMA) service was recently engaged
to provide Design for Manufacture (DFx) guidance and to assist
a client in identifying design and production inefficiencies and to help
control print spend for a sales/marketing project. The PMA service quickly
identified an alternate direct mail spec that eliminated the need to insert
a coupon into the mailer and implemented additional changes that allowed
for automated mailing, thereby reducing postage costs – the total
saved in just this one engagement was over $600,000 dollars.
