Project Samples

Our Resources Give You Value
As one of America's leading media and marketing companies operating businesses centered on magazine and book publishing, and television broadcasting, Meredith purchases over $250 million of printing, paper, and distribution annually. Meredith Print Advantage manages hundreds of projects each year, from business reply cards, to magazine inserts, travel publications, direct mail collateral, and fulfillment services.

Our Standards Are High
We expect more from our service providers and ourselves. We use a detailed certification process to assure the companies we align with have the state of the art technical capabilities and a proven ability to deliver what is promised.

We Take Quality Seriously
Print Advantage's Quality Analysts give each project their undivided attention while on press. Our Quality Analysts (the same ones used by our award winning magazines like Better Homes and Gardens and Traditional Home) define expectations prior to press by evaluating the supplied materials for your print program. Once on press, they set the color expectation from the very start of your project, to insure color consistency throughout the entire press run.

It Must Be Our Upbringing
When you grow up in the printing business, you learn a thing or two about delivering what you promise and working with people who know how to get the job done.

As part of Meredith Corporation, one of America's leading media and marketing companies, Print Advantage is introducing the next generation of print management - delivery when you expect it, exceptional print quality, competitive rates, and a print professional to handle all of the details, even the ones you didn't think to ask about.

Meredith Print Advantage History
Meredith Print Advantage began as an added value service to Meredith advertising clients. Many clients would ask for a quote for both an insert and ad space in a Meredith title - they wanted to know the rate to print the insert and place it in the magazine.

As the requests grew, we recognized the insert print business could become a stand-alone business. That's why Meredith created Print Advantage as a separate department in 1995.

Since then, our business has grown from primarily printing inserts for Meredith publications to supplying inserts that encompass all other publications within a given print program, and also printing stand alone programs such as travel brochures, direct mail programs, and many other large scale print programs.
