traditionaL print
Look to FCL to attain the highest quality results for all of your traditional printing needs. We recognize
that today’s marketplace is more competitive than ever before. At FCL we are extremely vigilant about
providing the highest quality traditional print to set your materials apart from the crowd. With sheet-fed,
half-web and full-web presses all under one roof, we are able to competitively produce a variety of printed
products. When larger volume rollouts happen, our half-web and full-web presses can fill the quantity void
that are too large for sheet-fed presses, keeping the project priced economically. Our presses collate, fold,
bind, glue and pattern perf inline for maximum return and a uniform, high-quality final product that can
sometimes go straight into a carton.
digitaL print
FCL’s digitally printed pieces come off press with impressive image quality and a smooth offset like
finish while allowing marketers the option of complete variability from piece to piece. The advantages of
short run customization are virtually endless. We are able to change data and photos in one run, without
plate changes, pinpointing your target audience with customized data. Advanced color management
technology with closed loop process controls enable vivid and consistent color rendition allowing our
digital presses to maintain benchmark color consistency, from page to page and job to job. This being
said, FCL is one of the only printers in the country who is G7 Certified across all print platforms. Count on
members of our highly trained staff to demonstrate just how much our department can enhance your
next digital printing or digital direct mail project.

our advanCing
teChnoLogies.
Today, advancing technologies touch everything we do that goes into every design we print.
Our high tech, hands on approach combines technological know-how with an immersive process
that fosters a collaboration and partnership between your business and FCL.
From data metrics to inventory management and automated workflow systems, technology translates
into powerful possibilities — giving you real time, total control over every aspect of all of your
communications collateral.
The power of pre cross media transforms target markets into qualified valued customers. We help our
customers drive results and increase profits for their business by offering cross media marketing services
that help our clients do more with less.
Our integrated marketing services provide real-time views of your campaign’s ongoing performance
metrics through a fully customizable online dashboard. You’ll know exactly what’s happening and when —
giving you the insights and data to skillfully reconnect with your most loyal patrons.
It takes even more than our mix of products and solutions to form the optimal marketing advantages

success in the marketplace.
automated WorkFLoW:the more produCtive WaY to go.
FCL’s exceptional services go beyond ink-on-paper. In fact, few printers have the experience we possess
for taking designs from finishing through warehousing to inventory management, fulfillment — all the way
to distribution. Whether it’s B2B or B2C, we assure that your materials get where they’re going quickly
and efficiently — with drop shipping and data management. Our overall goal is to make your job easier.
How? By skillfully integrating project management, packaging and fulfillment services with the current
processes and core business. At FCL, we apply our processes and tools ensuring optimal operation of
our manufacturing and distribution supply chain minimizing manufacturing costs, transportation costs,
and distribution costs. Our vendor managed inventory system proactively checks inventory against
a manufacturing schedule and replenishes collateral automatically. By increasing our overall service
offerings, we increase your profitability and efficiency.
To ensure your direct mail projects include optimized postage, we will provide all the necessary address
standardization, address cleansing, and mail sorting required to be eligible for all postage discounts.
We’ll also analyze your files and provide postal logistics, planning and strategy for maximizing savings.
Which means we achieve even greater savings by co-mingling pieces with other mailings, or delivering
large bulk mailings directly to Sectional Center Facilities (SCF), Bulk Mail Centers (BMC), or Destination
Delivery Units (DDU), and then passing the postage discounts to you.
You can bet on it — whether it’s B2B or B2C, we have the total capabilities, and then some, to make sure
your materials get where they’re going.

if you ask around, a lot of people will tell you that print is dead. We disagree. print is a more
viable option for marketing and communications than ever before when you consider the
opportunity to leverage everything digital. statistics show that campaigns that combine
printed direct mail pieces with internet advertising yield up to a 25% higher response rate than
using internet alone.
our understanding of merging the printed piece with technology – both online and in the
workflow process – allow you to leverage the best of both worlds. Our communications
experts are here to help you leverage every possible opportunity that’s available to you today.
When we look back at everything we’ve helped our clients accomplish, we can proudly say
that we are masters at skating to where the puck is going, not where it is.
