I and the rest of our team would like to extend a hearty welcome to you (especially readers of Rosalie Marcus' PromoBiz blog), ASI Member Distributors (visit us on ASI Social Networking and on ASI ESP) and PPAI Member Distributors.

We manufacture the galleryboard packaging line which is environmentally friendly and specifically designed for promotional programs.  The galleryboard line features over 300 ready-made Gift Boxes, Press Kits, Binders, Folders, Mailers and Desk Accessories. We offer custom designs as well.

The line is manufactured in the US with our employees, and ships quickly - usually within 7 business days from artwork approval.

Every item in our line is made from 100% recycled content fiberboard and ecologically sound paper-stock.  We recycle in our operations and office and offer telecommute options to our employees. 

You can decorate any item in the line with one (or more than one) of four imprint methods.  Choose Screen Printing (great for pantone colors and moderately tight registration), Offset Printing (for high qty, tight registration and CMYK colors), Vignettes (digitally printed name-plates with no minimums) and Blind Deboss. 

We have been a member of the promotional industry for a decade - winning many awards for customer service, printing, and sales support.  Just this year, ASI name us to their 1st annual HOT LIST, we were named one of Houston's Fastest 100 growing businesses, and PPAI awarded us the Most Beneficial Sales & Marketing Aids.

Here is a quick list of these award winning support tools --

Referral program (all end-user leads go to promotional distributors)
