Pacific Printing Industries (PPI) and the PPI Educational Trust are nonprofit trade associations dedicated to providing a variety of benefits and money saving programs to Visual & Graphic Communications Companies and individuals in six states: Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Oregon & Washington. Our purpose is to deliver what it takes to help our members become more successful and profitable in their businesses. To accomplish that goal, we provide personal and professional development programs for both owners and employees.

The Alliance brings Business Services to small and medium media companies and even individual creatives who are typically underserved in insurance and discounted business services:

• Group health, business, and life insurance at money-saving rates
• Opportunities to network with peers and collaborate with other types of communications firms
• Discounts on business essentials like software and office supplies and educational programming.

Education is the cornerstone of the programs we offer. Since it is business-centric education, it encompasses an evolving suite of formats, including breakfast and lunch meetings, management seminars and classes, webinars, conferences, and hands-on technical training. Our insurance offerings through alliances with Federated and Vigilant Benefits for Employers are also very popular, offering relevant, low group rates tailored to the needs of our industry.
When your company joins PPI, your company also becomes a member of Printing Industries of America (PIA), the world’s largest graphic arts trade association, representing an industry with more than 1.2 million employees and serving the interests of more than 12,000 member companies. You are also participating in national and regional efforts to keep legislation and policy business friendly and positive for your company.
PPI, along with the Education Trust and PIA, provides you with the management, marketing, financial and technical information that you need to operate your firm more profitably.
