Tickets and ID Badge
Imagine the time you would save when preparing for a large event by printing individual personalized identification badges and tickets all at one time. This product contains three tickets: 1) Presidential Inauguration and Gala Ticket; 2) Senate Dinner Ticket; 3) Congress Bag Ticket. It also contains an Identification Badge that is laminated front and back and has a slot for the clip or strap to slide through. The paper and laminate are laser compatible, and each ticket, the badge and carrier are consecutively numbered with a four digit number using our Variable Imaging technology. This solution illustrates the continued interest we have seen in combination forms, it provides a cost savings and is more environmentally friendly; only one form is produced instead of four. It also reduces the amount of time required to personalize the product with the individual information and there are no mismatches.
Generic samples are available on request.

Marketing Materials
The Flesh Company manufactures generic samples of our products and we provide them to our distributors free of charge. We also designed brochures to correspond with the samples that feature our various product lines. These brochures are digitally produced by Spectrum DX A Flesh Company. The samples and brochures are inserted into folders and can be tailored to a specific need of a distributor.
When PSDA announced the FOCUS Series of tradeshows for 2008, we further separated our product line into nine vertical markets. Folders were created for each vertical market and samples specific to each of these markets were selected. These sample packets were available for our distributors and potential distributors to take with them at the FOCUS tradeshows. We would also mail them when requested.
