When a person purchases a Land O’Lakes product, that person is counting on the full resources of your company to satisfy his or her needs, whatever they may be. Whether it’s butter, cheese or any of the other 600+ dairy products that are marketed worldwide, they know they can count on getting more than their money’s worth with your products. At Gannett Offset-Minneapolis, we provide that same commitment in meeting the needs of our customers.

Let’s take a moment and specifically address the reasons why all of us at Gannett Offset are confident in our ability to meet your needs with the production of the Land O’Lakes Recipe Collection:

* Customer Service – we are very proud of the level of service our customer service representatives (CSR’s) provide to our partner clients. Your project becomes their project, and it’s given whatever care and feeding is needed to assure it will be completed as promised. Nobody does it better than a Gannett Offset CSR.

* Pre-press – we have placed an order for a Purup-Eskofot CTP system which will be operational in December of 2000. We are capable of working with Quark, PageMaker, Freehand, Adobe PDF and a whole host of other software and file applications. We can accept your files in a wide range of media including electronically via FTP. We are happy to work with the format you are comfortable with and confident using.

* Printing – our pressroom is equipped with four heatset full web presses that deliver outstanding imaging that will give your Recipe Collection the high-quality look it deserves. In addition we have sheetfed presses for shorter runs and Didde mini-webs for insert and customer response cards and other smaller format applications.

* Bindery – our finishing area is fully equipped and includes three stitchers, all with digest capabilities, for flexibility in scheduling and the ability to turn your project very quickly if time frames require. We also have cutting, folding and tipping capabilities.

* Poly-bagging – in-line poly-bagging, with in-line mailing utilizing ink jet or Cheshire labeling, gives us yet another option to fill the needs of our customers.

* Mailing - Our mailing capacity is robust. In June and July of this year, we averaged 3.5 million pieces mailed per month. We attend national Postal Forums, are a member of the Postal Customer Council and have a solid relationship with Twin Cities area postal personnel that goes back many years. We know mailing, and how to make the system work for the benefit of our customers.

* Location – we are conveniently located just a handful of miles west of Land O’Lakes’ headquarters just off of highway 694 in Maple Grove which makes it easy for press checks, proofing and contact with Gannett Offset personnel.
