Buying Power Partners

The following firms offer special incentives to members of the Graphic Arts Association, and often provide direct support for GAA programs. Not all programs or incentives will be right for every company, and we understand that your business decisions must be made on what’s best for your particular situation. However, we recommend that you contact these firms first if you are in need of their particular services or products. Members are receiving significant savings working with GAA’s business partners because the funds saved by these firms on promotion and through increased business can be passed on to you in discounts.

If you need information or have questions about any of these programs, please call the GAA office at (215) 396-2300.

FSC Group Certification

GAA has joined 16 Printing Industries of America affiliates to form the Regional Affiliate Certificate Group (RACG) offering manufacturing printers with access to FSC chain of custody certification at group rates, making this, the first printers' group created in North America.

The group FSC certification program offers substantial savings with an annual cost of $1,695.00. Participation is limited to printers (not as yet, brokers) with sales of less than $5 million. It will necessitate the FSC required paper trail maintained by the printer and an initial audit, the cost of which is included in the $1,695.00 fee.

If you are already certified, you may change to this program to take advantage of the reduced cost. An explanation of the process and an enrollment form is found by clicking here.
