Winning Federal Government Print Jobs to Boost Business

CHAMBERSBURG, PA—March 13, 2012—Rarely a week passes by without news of print supplier layoffs, financial losses and plant closings. Look no farther than fourth quarter 2012 earnings reports, as illustrated by RR Donnelly & Sons Company’s loss of $326.7 million attributable to soft demand.

One way to overcome soft demand is to look beyond traditional commercial markets and develop new markets that are dependable. The best of these is the United States Government Printing Office (GPO)—the only federal agency authorized by Congress to manage printing for the executive, legislative and judicial branches. The GPO awards more than $300 million each year in work to private sector printers.
