Why Vicks?
Why consider Vicks for your next publishing project? More than 90 years of successful relationships has taught us to focus on what we do well, and work to be the best, not the biggest, in the marketplace. We serve targeted market segments to avoid becoming just another commodity supplier.
You don't last as long as we have without superior customer service. Over the years we have anticipated the changing needs of our customers, and worked with them to mutual success. We ramped up our color capabilities to help make our customers more competitive in their changing markets. The introduction of our direct warehousing and distribution services shortened delivery times to consumers. As technology completely changed the prepress process, we invested with our customers and worked together on designing electronic files for manufacturing efficiency. Today, our complete digital book factory is meeting short run requirements, reducing product inventories, and extending the shelf life of our customers' titles.
