PBO Welcomes New Sponsor!
The professionals at Synapse Print Management find the right sources for - and then completely manage - print projects ranging from simple to complex. Among their innovative solutions are SynBID, their proprietary online bid procurement solution that procures project bids from Synapse's network of 1,000+ print suppliers, while leveraging the buying power of their multi-million dollar print spend.
We also love their timely Synapse Green Program, which exclusively bids FSC-certified suppliers utilizing a wide range of environmentally-friendly materials and production processes. For more information, visit www.synapseprint.com. Have a lovely week!
