Print & signage for local government
Newsletters, utility-bill inserts, park signage, meeting notices, and annual reports — produced by a local vendor who answers the phone, takes your PO, and has the W-9 in your inbox before the meeting ends.
Paperwork-friendly by design
Cities and townships buy print constantly — the newsletter, the utility insert, the park-shelter sign, the budget summary — and every purchase has to survive an audit. We are set up for exactly that: itemized written quotes your office can cut a PO against, the PO number carried through proof and invoice, a W-9 within one business day, and a proof-before-print approval step that gives your file a paper trail. Based in Buffalo, we serve the roughly two dozen cities and townships across Wright County and the surrounding area — close enough to deliver, close enough to fix.
- Written quotes for your file
Itemized, free, usually within one business day — bid-file friendly.
- POs & exemptions handled
PO numbers on every document; send your ST3 once and it is on file. See vendor info.
- Approval trail included
Nothing prints until your office approves the proof — and the approval is in writing.

Government purchasing FAQ
Yes. You get an itemized written quote — quantities, sizes, materials, finishing — usually within one business day, at no cost. If your policy requires multiple quotes on file before ordering, we are glad to be one of them.
Both. Send the PO and its number appears on the quote, proof, and invoice; the W-9 arrives within one business day of your request. Details on our vendor information page.
Send your Minnesota exemption certificate (Form ST3) with your first order and your account is set up accordingly from then on.
Yes — that is what EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail) is built for. It reaches every address on the carrier routes you pick without a mailing list. See route and household counts by ZIP and our mailing services.
Yes. A single park sign, one box of inspection forms, a banner for one festival — there is no minimum, and reorders later take one email because your files stay on file.
