This is a reminder about the PrintGizmo punchout in the PantherExpress System, which allows users to access and manage multiple suppliers for print and graphic design services in one location. Through the PrintGizmo punchout you can:
- Quickly order University branded printed items including business cards, letterhead, and Vincent Payment Solutions brochures and credit card sleeves.
- Easily request quotes from print and graphic design suppliers for items such as magazines, manuals, posters, flyers, and more.
Utilizing University-wide Contracted Suppliers for print/graphic design services provides a variety of benefits to the University and your department, including:
- Best overall value to the University
- Promotes the University’s brand fidelity through consistent use of approved templates as well as University colors, logos, and marks
- Competitive pricing
- Wide range of high-quality services to fit needs
- Faster contracting process for the services required
- Supporting local and diverse businesses
As an additional reminder, University Policy AO 30 requires that departments use a University-wide Contracted Supplier for purchasing items/services for which the University has a University-wide agreement.
