Membership ROI Resources
Current economic conditions have had a significant negative impact on our industry. As an Association, our immediate focus now is helping our members cut costs. Print & Graphic Communications Association has a number of programs that provide professional business support in a variety of key areas. These programs have been vetted, provide great customer support and will save you money!
With profit margins continuing to be slim, most printing firms are not of sufficient size to access the purchasing power normally available to just large companies. PGCA Essential Business Solutions allow members to pool buying power and purchase goods and services like companies many times their size. Members enjoy deep discounts on products and services necessary to doing business. Members often save far more than the cost of dues.
