One of our valued retail customers presented us with the opportunity to expand our product sales in their stores provided we could adapt our point-of-sale packaging for an immediate roll-out. Documedia worked with its manufacturing partners to complete the design, production, and delivery of 25,000 full-color prime packaging labels, all within 36 business hours of the call to action. We were able to meet the new packaging guidelines in the time allotted, proving we were responsive to our customer’s needs, and delivered our product in time for our customer to realize immediate resale revenue.

Thanks Larry and I just wanted to say that it was both easy and efficient to work with you on this order for our new citations. Thanks so much and I will definitely be using you for our future reorders.
-Sandie Kimball,
Police Services Secretary, City of Rancho Santa Margarita
My project was to develop a representative “coffee table” book of historical photos and a comprehensive history of my organization in recognition of a major milestone anniversary. Documedia was selected as the printer and publisher for this project, and with the combined efforts of Larry Cree and designer John Morrison, we were able to produce a fine addition to our organization’s history collection. The first 100 copies of this beautiful book were delivered just last month, after many months of collecting, composing, editing, finessing, and – finally, publishing. All the organization’s staff will see for themselves how wonderful their heritage is! We anticipate needing more copies of this soon! Thank you so much, John and Larry, for your immense patience and professionalism with this project.
