Payne Solar Array Near Completion

I thought that I would post a few pictures of our new solar array here at Payne.

The team from Keystone Energy has been working very closely with us to assure the system's smooth implementation.

This investment is a big step forward in offsetting our power consumption and continuing our efforts in environmental awareness.

Adding a "Printed with Solar Energy" mark along with an Eco-Audit and FSC or Eco-Ink logo will also allow our customers and partners to make environmentally responsible statements of their own.

NewPage's "Ed" is Much More than Curly Hair and Glasses

I came across this website and thought that it was worth sharing.

NewPage describes "Ed" as this:

"Ed is a continuing education series sponsored by NewPage. Ed is dedicated to delivering technical wisdom to a broad range of communication specialists, that is to say, people who spend the better part of their days designing with, specifying, buying, or printing on paper. Ed is here to help you understand the amazing things that paper can do."

In any case, it's absolutely worth checking out and you can easily do so by clicking HERE.

Printed versions of the "Ed" series are also available by request through the website.

NEW Postal Regulations for Soft-Folded Mailers

Above you'll see a page taken from the Domestic Mail Manual pertaining to Soft-Folded Mailers and such. This is an important change in postal regulations for a number of reasons.

For example, this change will result, in most cases, in multiple passes on tabbing equipment. This will add time and some material costs to your mailing that you would have once not had to contend with.

Also, it would appear that the days of smaller, perforated wafer-seals are over. These new regulations call for the use of multiple 1.5", non-perforated tabs.

You will likely have one of two wafer-seal options to choose from; one of which is a clear vinyl material and the other is a translucent paper material. The clear vinyl obviously looks the best, but the translucent paper will tear more easily and do less damage to the printed piece that it was stuck to.

For more information of design alternatives, please give us a call.
