Producing a successful magazine is one thing. Sustaining a publishing program year after year is another. For more than 16 years, L.P. Green & Partners, Inc. has worked with Schumann Printers to produce Blueprint and Golf Illustrated, two magazines serving distinct audiences. Blueprint explores business, technology, and innovation, while Golf Illustrated covers the sport through print, digital media, and events. Both publications require careful coordination, technical expertise, and attention to detail to move from finished content to printed magazine.
The Challenge
When L.P. Green & Partners began looking for a printing partner, its priorities included consistent quality, binding and finishing expertise, mailing and distribution logistics, prepress support, and proactive communication.
Managing multiple magazines means balancing editorial and advertising content with production schedules and print deadlines. The company needed a team equipped to handle these responsibilities while providing dependable service over time.
The Schumann Printers Solution
As a family-owned commercial printer, Schumann Printers combines the production capabilities of a large-scale operation with the personal attention of a smaller shop. For L.P. Green & Partners, that means access to experienced production teams and technology, alongside direct communication with people who understand their publications and priorities.
The L.P. Green & Partners team can review and approve editorial and advertorial pages during proofing, giving them hands-on involvement before their magazines go to press. Lead Customer Account Manager Kim Clark also plays an important role in keeping projects organized. She works directly with L.P. Green & Partners to coordinate production details and help the team meet its print deadlines. Together, these efforts provide the customer with greater visibility into production and a consistent point of contact throughout the process.
The Results
More than 16 years later, L.P. Green & Partners continues to entrust its magazine printing to Schumann Printers. The relationship provides access to hands-on proofing and dedicated account management, helping the publisher stay involved in production while keeping deadlines in focus.
For Catrina L. Dawkins, Executive Assistant at L.P. Green & Partners, the experience is defined by the attention customers receive.
"Schumann Printers will get the job done from start to finish. They treat you like you matter and that says a lot. Schumann Printers treats their customers like family and makes sure that their printing needs are taken care of professionally." — Catrina L. Dawkins, Executive Assistant, L.P. Green & Partners, Inc.
Key Takeaway
The L.P. Green & Partners story demonstrates that publishers don't have to choose between advanced production capabilities and personalized service. For more than 16 years, Schumann Printers has brought both to the relationship. We're proud to be part of L.P. Green & Partners' publishing program and look forward to supporting its future issues.
