Bio Paragraph
Work
The proof is in the printing. Our client list is our source of pride as we continue to serve a wide range of clientele throughout Chicagoland, the Midwest and the world beyond.

Services
Our team approach to client service at GAS starts with your salesperson and flows through our production staff and each department as we work together to do what it takes to meet and beat all your expectations. Communication, expert job planning and performance are what keep our clients satisfied. Serving our clients is what keeps us satisfied.
Production/Estimating
Whether you need 500 business cards or 50,000 annual reports, our sales staff communicates your project to our estimating department to provide quick and accurate quotes as we begin the process of engineering a solution to producing your job on time and within budget.
This estimate is the blueprint for our skilled production team to properly plan and produce your unique project. The complex nature of changing schedules and expectations requires a skilled and flexible production team that is sensitive your needs from start to finish. Communication is the key to getting your job done right the first time — every time!
Prepress/Color/Proofing
For over 25 years, we have provided the finest craftsmanship in color scanning and retouching. Whether we scan your original prints and transparencies or enhance high-res digital imagery, our pre-press and color departments combine artistry with the technology and know-how to enhance any image. The result: consistent color magic that gets the most out of your one-color halftones or your four-color process work.
Our 24-hour work cycle allows us to provide fast and accurate proofs the following day. Our Kodak approval and digital Dylux systems give us the flexibility to proof your project on multiple substrates. We can accurately reproduce any PMS or match color (including metallics) along with your 4-color process printing. With the latest in calibration software, we can ensure what you are seeing on our color proof will match our printed sheet.
Presswork/Bindery
Our technology extends beyond pre-press into our pressroom and bindery. We have partnered with Heidelberg, the number one manufacturer of printing presses in the world.
Our skilled pressmen combine craftsmanship and expertise with our Heidelberg state-of-the-art direct-to-plate technology to produce high quality, one- through six-color printing.
We can add a variety of in-line coating options to complete you print run. Join us for a press check or let us match your pre-approved proof during our 24-hour workday. Our bindery will complete your project as we follow through on the blueprint and finish the final steps to move your job along. Cutting, folding, expert die-cutting and complex bindery operations are handled seamlessly by our skilled staff and trusted vendors when an outside service is needed.
Mailing/Fullfillment
Our mailing and fulfillment departments can provide the final touch to completing your project.
Whether itis hand-assembled folders or complex mailings or packouts and drop shipping to multiple locations, our two-shift fulfillment and shipping department will get your project delivered on time. We can also manage your mailing list, including mail merge and customization on your printed piece.
Our in-house fleet of delivery vehicles provides daily local deliveries and computerized UPS and Fedex systems. Our commercial trucking options allow us to provide you with real-time information on your packages and shipments as we complete the delivery of your project.
