Commercial & direct mail
Brochures, catalogs, postcards, books, direct mail, and recurring commercial print programs.
Print work that fits what you actually run.
NPS™ reviews each buyer's project and identifies qualified production partners based on capabilities, equipment, location, timing, capacity, and overall fit. When an opportunity fits your company, NPS™ may invite you to review the project and provide pricing. You decide whether the opportunity is right for you.
Reviewed before it reaches you
Work that arrives reviewed.
NPS™ gathers and reviews the buyer's project information before inviting a production partner to consider an opportunity. You receive the available project details, provide pricing to NPS™, and decide whether the opportunity fits your operation. NPS™ remains the buyer's main point of contact.
Participation in the NPS™ production network is available only to active members of the National Print & Sign Owners Association (NPSOA) and is subject to NPS™ review and approval. Active membership must be verified before a production partner can be approved and activated; you can learn about membership at npsoa.org.

The Work
The work we source.
Buyers come to NPS™ for everything from everyday volume runs to specialty projects. NPS™ evaluates each one and matches it with the production partner built for it.
Apparel & signage
Shirts and uniforms, banners, posters, displays, and large-format work for retail and events.
Packaging & specialty
Cartons, foil, die-cut, kitting, fulfillment, and the projects that need a true specialist.
How it works for you
Approved, then considered.
Once approved and activated, your company may be considered for project opportunities when your capabilities, location, and capacity align with a buyer's project. You may accept or decline any opportunity. You provide pricing to NPS™, NPS™ provides pricing to and invoices the buyer, and NPS™ pays the production partner.

Partner Benefits
What you get.
Opportunities that fit
When a buyer's project aligns with your capabilities, equipment, location, capacity, and other project requirements, NPS™ may invite your company to review the opportunity.
Details gathered up front
NPS™ gathers and reviews available project details before inviting a production partner to consider an opportunity, helping reduce unnecessary back-and-forth before pricing.
Matched to your capabilities
NPS™ considers what your company actually produces, the equipment you operate, and the work you specialize in when determining whether to invite you to review an opportunity.
You produce, NPS™ coordinates
NPS™ manages the buyer relationship and remains the buyer's main point of contact. Your company focuses on producing the work to the approved project requirements.
Clear terms up front
Payment and project-handling expectations are defined in the NPS Production Partner Agreement before any opportunity is offered.
A network, not a marketplace
NPS™ is not an open directory or bidding marketplace. The production network is built deliberately, with each company reviewed and approved before activation.
