Courier, Ingram to Partner on Publisher Services

"In addition, through Courier's recent acquisition of FastPencil, thousands of self-publishers also stand to benefit by gaining access to capabilities previously reserved for the top of the industry."

Ingram will use Courier's capabilities to provide full-service manufacturing and distribution to publishers through its new Life Print program offering, which is a one-stop service experience for publishers and their manufacturing needs. Through the Life Print program, publishers will reportedly reduce their operational, print and administrative costs. In addition, the service is global, taking advantage of Ingram's print-on-demand centers around the world and well-established logistics networks.
