Print Distribution Services
Spectra offers an unsual set of advantages to clients who need both print services and fulfillment. We operate a full service print facility and a fulfillment center that serves national and international clients, and both departments can be fully integrated. This integration unlocks valuable benefits for our clients, who save money at nearly every stage of the entire fulfillment chain. Partner with Spectra to combine your third-party services under one roof, managed by one expert team.
Spectra’s Print Services
A print distribution project begins with getting materials designed, planned, and printed. Spectra’s process is intuitive and convenient for the client. Our many years of print experience allow us to quickly review your project, clarify key points, and get a digital proof created for you to review. Once you approve the proofs, your project is printed quickly on our digital presses, which provide unprecedented quality and consistency across print runs. They are capable of quickly switching between print jobs, increasing the speed with which we can accomplish each client’s print projects.
Mail Distribution Services
For print projects like official corresondence, account updates, financial statements, and billing requests, Spectra offers expert mailing service. Our facility uses industry leading systems by Pitney Bowes to coordinate mailing with the US Postal Service, including running checks on address lists for number errors, duplicate entries, and other potential mistakes that can result in documents being mailed to the wrong recipients.
Spectra’s clients also enjoy lower rates on postage, thanks to Spectra’s high volume of business with the US Postal Service and special methods like commingling. These savings enable organizations to mail official notices with security, efficiency, and affordability.

Data Security
Spectra places the highest possible priority on the security of our clients’ data. All of our print distribution services are conducted in our SOC 2 Type II certified facility, in an environment that is 100% HIPAA compliant. Our team understands data security standards as they relate to data access, network security, and the posting of personal information online.
Spectra offers pressure seal mailers and other secure mailing methods to give clients assurance that the sensitive PII and PHI contained in their documents is concealed from view until the authorized recipient opens it.
Personalization is a key advantage that digital printing companies provide over older analog methods. The digital presses used at Spectra are capable of printing individualized content on every piece in a print run. That means that single-piece mailers like flyers can include the recipient’s name and even unique images. These customization possibilities greatly increase the impact of direct mail campaigns, maximizing advertising dollars.
Fulfillment Integration
For many print projects, fulfillment services are an important component in the process of getting printed materials from our facility to your customer. Because our print facility and our fulfillment department are both in-house, our clients save a huge amount on the costs normally associated with transferring materials from the print services provider to the fulfillment center. This integrated approach is particularly valuable for clients who need to print educational materials, training resources, and similar products and then store them in preparation for shipping to B2C or B2B customers.
Spectra coordinates the activities of its print department and fulfillment department to ensure that a client has sufficient inventory to meet customer demand, without printing too many copies and tying up much-needed capital. As the relationship with a client progresses, Spectra gathers more and more customer order data and becomes better at predicting future demand for materials.
Online Storefronts
Spectra’s online storefront service is a cornerstone of our fulfillment system. This versatile, powerful system gives the client the ability to offer both print and non-print products to customers on a B2C or B2B basis. Spectra stores the inventory and prints materials in-house, then kits orders as they come in and ships them out right away.
Spectra’s storefronts are completely “white labeled” and branded to each client’s specifications. They allow for different sections for B2B and B2C customers, and they also provide the ability to curate product offerings for customers in different categories. Many franchise or corporate clients give their B2B customers the ability to enroll in different levels, or tiers, with different products available to those in each tier. When a customer logs into the online storefront with their unique username, they see only the materials that they are able to order.
