CTP Solutions was contracted to imprint 20,000 separate checks, vouchers, letter and statements, then fold, insert, meter, and mail them. To achieve this at a reduced cost from prior years, CTP Solutions had to automate the process, to enable effective imprint, match and mail.
Once a year, royalty payments are made to musicians whose music is utilized in motion pictures, television, low budget and independent films. This annual distribution to musicians is $73,118,975.
Each package consists of:
- Imprinting Annual Distribution Check or Voucher Form
- Imprint Administrator Letter
- Imprint Statements (sheets vary, duplex, variable printing)
- Imprint, fold and insert into Envelopes #10 double windows with security tint.
- Meter and Mail the 20,000 pieces
Savings:
- CTP Solutions saved the customer 45.8% on the base cost of the package with an additional 23.3% by utilizing a #10 envelope instead of the 9 x 12 envelopes used in the past.
- The adoption of the #10 envelope also saved a significant amount in the postage cost.
- CTP Solutions secured check stock that added additional security features while costing 60% less.
- The printed statement sent to each musician could be single or multiple sheets determined by the number of credits a musician was to receive. CTP Solutions recommended duplex sheets, which saved the customer 61.4% on the cost per sheet.
- All packages were completed and mailed out within 1 month.
