Primex Plastics Reedsburg First Supplier Certified SGP Facility

The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP), the leading authority in sustainable printing certifications, announced today that the Primex Plastics Corporation facility in Reedsburg, WI is the first supplier facility to become SGP certified. SGP has been certifying print facilities since 2008, but recently expanded the program to include supplier facilities.

“Primex Reedsburg has been a dedicated supplier of printable plastics since inception in 1986 and a long-time supporter of SGP’s sustainability mission,” said Blake Pace, General Manager, Primex. “Having had a front row seat to view continuous improvement on the part of companies that participate in SGP, when the opportunity arose to seek certification ourselves under the expanded supplier certification, we jumped at the chance.”

To continue to meet the needs of the industry, SGP announced the expansion of the certification program to include suppliers and Primex Plastics was the first to achieve recognition. “The facility served as the SGP program’s beta for this expanded program which now opens the way for others to achieve SGP certification,” said Marci Kinter, Chair, SGP Technical Committee. “Primex’s certification illustrates the importance of working with like-minded suppliers.”

Darwill Transforms to White Paper Inkjet Production to Enhance Speet to Market for Datat-Driven Direct Mail

Darwill, Inc. is a national, integrated marketing company that offers proven direct marketing solutions for companies of all sizes. Founded in 1951, it is a family-run business with a commitment to deliver the highest quality solutions that drive ROI for its customers. Today, Darwill circulates over 500 million pieces of direct mail per year, executing every aspect of a direct mail campaign for companies in nearly every industry. Several years ago, Darwill decided to transform from its roots as a sheet-fed commercial offset printer to using white paper continuous feed inkjet production. Driving this move was the fact that customers were beginning to ask for more sophisticated, personalized direct marketing applications. “We saw that we couldn’t compete efficiently when it came to certain types of direct marketing applications because of the equipment configuration that goes with being a sheet-fed operation. We first looked at possibly getting a web press for these applications and then we decided to go straight to continuous high-speed inkjet because it was the cutting-edge technology and offered what our customers were requesting.” Mark DeBoer – Senior Vice President, Darwill
