For more than a decade of operating in the publication and marketing arena, Advanced Communications has developed some very unique services with our customer's satisfaction in mind.

Value Engineering

Wouldn't you want to know if a 1/8th inch adjustment would save you a few hundred dollars? Whether it's possible to adjust or not, we'd still like to give you the suggestion if we see it. We'll do our best to look out for you.

Entire Job Preflight

Almost all companies offer some type of 'Preflighting' service. Many limit this to the electronic art files only. At Advanced Communications, we have a dedicated staff to check ALL aspects up front-electronic files to job specs to quotations to mail format to bind-ins, etc. Printing moves very quickly with modern technology, and we like to have all of the details worked out up front to avoid surprises for everybody.

Instant Proofing 24/7/365

Forget the old 9 to 5 routine-we realize that today's deadlines and demands dictate work at odd hours and weekends. In order to maximize progress, we've created a system that will accept your PDF files at any hour or day and begin an automated process. When you upload your file, our systems will rip, trap and organize your pages into a true online proof within moments.

Inserts, Envelopes and Small Stuff

When you are trying to orchestrate your main publication(s), it can be a real headache to try and manage several other printers that handle these other items. We've been surprised during the years that so many publication printers won't, or don't, help with these vital compliments. You won't hear "we don't do that" from us! We'll help with your bind in cards and other supporting material using our sheetfed press department, and we'll do it competitively as well.

Web-Enabled Fulfillment

With the cost of freight, you probably don't want to ship your product more times than necessary. And, with the high cost of space, you don't really want to store it all at your location either. We've got the perfect solution. Our online fulfillment system give you an actual "store" in our warehouse where you can view your inventory, place a request for shipment, select the shipping method, and even let your branches and affiliated offices do the same with password protected security.

Postal Enhancements

All companies in this industry have to know the US Postal System well, and also stay abreast of their frequent regulation changes. But there is much more than your printing partner can do to give you an edge. Are you still using PLANET codes to track the delivery of your publication? Are you using multi-point mail drops to take advantage of postal savings at DSCF or DDU entry points? Since our plant locations are within a days' truck shipment of 45% of the entire US population, chances are that we can reduce your costs through Postal logistics.
