Printers (excludes business cards stationery)
Purchasing and Payment Services issued a compressive Invitation to Bid to develop a list of Pre-Qualified printers (excluding NU stationery and Business Cards). To develop the list, Procurement worked with a large cross-section of the University departments/schools including Global Marketing, Kellogg, McCormick, Alumni Development, Feinberg, and Pritzker. Each vendor has considerable experience working with Northwestern University. All vendors were rigorously evaluated on a variety of factors such as equipment inventory, quality, past performance, minimum order, delivery turnaround and pricing methodology. The following nine printers were determined to represent the best value to Northwestern.
All of these vendors are under contract with Northwestern University; therefore, you do not need to sign any contracts or forms for individual projects.
- Amsive LLC
- Cushing
- Dupli-Group
- C2 Imaging
- Graphic Arts Studio
- Lake County Press
- Lane Press
- MCR (Marketing Communication Resource)
- Sunrise Hitek
Obtain Multiple Estimates
It is Procurement’s recommendation that when you have a print project (brochure, pamphlet, magazine, flyer, etc.), solicit a quote from at least three of these vendors to ensure that you are receiving the best possible price for your project.
