WASHINGTON - The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) has many programs to help Federal agencies with their printing and digitization needs during these tight budgetary times.  One of these, called GPOExpress, which GPO operates in partnership with FedEx Office, has achieved a milestone of 100,000 orders since it began operation in 2005.  GPOExpress provides Federal agencies with discounted services to meet their small and short turnaround printing and binding needs. By enrolling in the program, Federal agency employees receive a GPOExpress card that allows them to take advantage of pre-negotiated prices that are up to 80 percent below retail rates. GPOExpress currently has 4,000 Federal Government employees enrolled. The program utilizes the FedEx Office network of more than 1,800 locations nationwide to provide Federal agencies with convenient, low-cost professional services, including printing, binding, and finishing; banner and sign production; direct mail services; and digital content management through the FedEx Office DocStore system.
