Postal Reform Under Review

"The health of the U.S. printing industry is tied directly to the health of a nationwide mail delivery system. We look forward to providing whatever assistance we can to the commission," notes Ben Cooper, PIA's executive vice president for public policy.

The broad issue of postal reform was ranked by the PIA as a top priority for the 108th session of Congress. Historically, printers have been involved in postal issues primarily as a support to their customers; however, in recent years, it has become clear that while many customers have advertising and communications alternatives, printers are more directly tied to the postal service itself.
