Integrated Printing Solutions, a premier provider and innovator of print solutions and strategies for some of North America’s largest businesses, and has been certified by Visa, MasterCard and American Express to receive, store and personalize all of its branded products.

“These approvals allow us to cover the majority of open loop markets and further penetrate the secure card market” said Bill Konves, Vice President of Sales and Market at IPS. “Considering the company decided to enter into the secure card market in December 2009, we already are realizing incredible success.”

While these certifications have gone a long way in improving company capabilities, Bennett and Konves also credited the IPS staff for its ongoing efforts to make IPS a more competitive organization.

The privately held company provides solutions in card and card personalization services, on- demand digital card printing and fulfillment, distribution and warehousing, commercial printing and direct mail, as well as print management for the retail, health care, prepaid card, financial and advertising industries.

The ability to manage highly sensitive data, component inventories, custom reporting and all mailing services is the company’s core competency.

Shipping and receiving is controlled through a secured loading dock. Trucks either delivering or receiving products are physically secured to the building prior to loading or unloading. Jobs are tracked from beginning to end using job control logs.

All jobs are subject to audit while in process. All cards and jobs are balanced before release to the mailing facility. The entire production area is a dual-custody environment. This assures that at least two employees will always be present in the production area.
