Allen Press Expands Local Sales Presence

Allen Press, Inc. is pleased to announce that Paula Gibbs has been promoted to Sales Executive. Gibbs joined Allen Press in February 2017 as an Account Manager.

As Sales Executive, Gibbs will lead sales efforts in the eastern Kansas region, including Lawrence, Kansas City, Topeka and Manhattan. Gibbs will work closely with the Allen Press marketing and operations teams with a focus on growing digital printing, direct mail and marketing communications services.

“It’s our goal to be a printing, direct mail and marketing leader in Lawrence and the surrounding areas. Paula is a natural fit to build community relationships and to help local businesses grow,” said Maria Preston-Cargill, Allen Press Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Paula’s experience in multiple areas of the industry and her enthusiasm for printing will serve her and her customers well as she takes on this new role.”

Gibbs’ experience in the print industry includes roles in direct mail, print production, customer service and fulfillment. In each role, she excelled by putting her customers first and thoroughly understanding their printing goals and expectations.

When asked about her enthusiasm for print, Gibbs said, “Printed pieces are things you can hold in your hand and physically pass along to others. Whether it is a magazine or postcard, each piece has a story. That story is an invaluable marketing and communications tool for businesses with a message to share.”

Gibbs especially looks forward to building new relationships in the Lawrence community. “I’m excited to meet new people, shake hands and communicate what Allen Press can do for local businesses,” said Gibbs. “Allen Press has been a successful locally owned company for over 80 years, and I want our community to know that they have a reliable direct mail and printing partner, right here in Lawrence.”

RRD Announces New Solution to Help Retailers Better Customize In-Store Marketing Materials

R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company introduced a retail solution that streamlines the process of creating in-store promotional materials, while reducing production time and labor costs. Through its work for 52 of the National Retail Federation’s top 100 retailers, RRD found that many retailers still rely on manual processes for creating their visual merchandising materials for floor displays, aisle end caps, window signage, and more. This entails everything from creating the design of materials and converting files from one format to another, to proofing and editing – tasks which are all time and labor intensive. To solve these challenges, which are particularly acute in today’s environment, RRD developed Variable Content Automation for Retail. This new offering enables companies to create tailored-to-location marketing kits while cutting the project cycle from as many as 15 steps down to as few as four.

Taylor Corp. Unit Installs First Konica Minolta AccurioJet KM-1e Enhanced Inkjet Press (piworld.com)

Taylor Corp. acquired its first production inkjet press in 2009, and it has been a proponent of the technology ever since. But, given that the company — ranked sixth on the 2019 Printing Impressions 400 list of the industry’s leading print service providers — consists of 80 subsidiaries operating in 25 states and nine countries, any technology naturally would need time to make its influence felt throughout an organization of such vast size. Inkjet technology gained a higher profile within the Taylor family when a business unit of one of its companies recently became the first printing site in the world to install an AccurioJet KM-1e sheetfed color production inkjet press from Konica Minolta. The press, an enhanced version of Konica Minolta’s successful AccurioJet KM-1 platform, is expected to broaden the range of what the business unit and its parent company can produce, achieving new levels of quality and cost efficiency for both. The B2+ format, LED-UV AccurioJet KM-1e went into full operation at FolderWorks, a division of Navitor, at Navitor’s North Mankato, Minn., headquarters in March.
