As a preferred vendor and strategic partner for many organizations, we know how to
operate within vendor-managed inventory and supply chain management systems.
Electronic Workflow System Send files and review “soft proofs” online for faster
turnaround, and check tracking information for shipping.
Warehousing and Fulfillment For long-term or ongoing projects, FCL can store
materials pre-packed to your specifications, or custom pick-and-pack them based on a
grid furnished by you. We provide a custom-built web page where you can see exactly
what materials you have in inventory in real time, by quantity, cartons, and more.
Simply click on any item, indicate the quantity desired and give shipping information.
Within a predetermined amount of time, the materials will be pulled from inventory,
prepared for shipment and shipped.
Vendor Managed Inventory System Our VMI system proactively checks inventory
against your manufacturing schedule and replenishes collateral automatically. As new
materials are printed and added to storage they are logged into the database where
you can track them.We also provide detailed reporting including order history, activity,
product inventory and transactions.
Custom Kitting We offer labor-intensive services and detailed management for
simple to complex programs, including planning materials, distribution management,
monitoring schedules and ensuring accuracy.
Distribution Whether it’s B2B or B2C, we’ll make sure your materials get where
they’re going. We utilize UPS Worldship, Federal Express Café System and data
processing. We also provide data management, distribution list formatting, electronic
tracking, same-day distribution, freight scheduling and international shipping.

your business more successful. Contact us at 800 274 3380 to discover how

Relationships matter. Customers need more than just a low price; they need their
projects done right and on time. They also need to trust the people and the
company with whom they work. We know our customers by name, and we treat
every customer, big or small, with respect.
Our relationship-building includes our employees. Our team-oriented atmosphere
creates an environment where everyone is willing to go the extra mile. And that's
crucial in an industry where you may get a job on Friday from a customer who
needs it done by Monday. Focusing on relationships has worked out well for us;
our employees average eighteen years with the company, and many of our customers
have been with us for twenty or thirty years.
The efficiency of our experienced workforce enables us to run a lean operation
despite our continuing investments in the latest technology and equipment.
By taking a traditional relationship-building approach, we've built a successful
business that's ready for whatever the future brings.
We're in this business to build long-term relationships.
That's why we keep our promises every day.
Our team-oriented atmosphere
creates an environment where
everyone is willing to go the
extra mile for our customers.
