1 Tickets, Tags and Labels Shine in 09 Practical products set the pace for sales success Pre-converted Specialty Substrates from GPA Headquartered in Chicago, GPA Specialty Substrate Solutions made an addition to its Ultra Digital product line. The company s new specialty application substrates allow for pre-converted door hangers and table tents. (The material is also used to produce pocket presentation folders.) The products are produced on 10-pt. Kromekote Plus White gloss cover in a 12x18" sheet size, and engineered for optimal ink adhesion. They also bear RIT certification, which guarantees flawless performance on HP Indigo digital presses. Door hangers are formatted as four-up sheets, while the table tents come two-up with individual bases. The specialty application substrates are pre-converted for easy finishing. Built-in perforations, glue strips and scores mean easy post-press assembly and fast turnaround. Furthermore, they are excellent for short-run, personalized marketing using variable text and images on HP Indigo digital presses. The door hangers only require guillotine cutting, and are effective as marketing pieces, parking passes and leave-behinds on sales calls. To finish the table tents, guillotine cut and apply the base to use with P.O.P. promotions, informational displays and sales programs. Design possibilities are endless, and the versatile substrates provide maximum visibility to get messages noticed.

Just think of all the reduced-price tags and tickets retailers need and the labels for liquidated items, not to mention going-out-of-business signage. But seriously, the best service distributors can provide to customers right now is to help them distinguish their products and services from the competition and promote their events. For the money, tickets, tags and labels provide effective and efficient ways to accomplish such goals. Here, Print Professional offers a few quick-picks to kick-start the new year.
