About Us
CORE Communications, originally named Cascade Printing, was founded in 1946 and has provided over 63 years of excellence, top-quality customer service and the highest level of quality products and services in the visual communications industry.
CORE is an entrepreneurial enterprise and has always embraced the latest processes and the latest technology available. While CORE started as a small business printing on cylinder letterpresses, it has evolved from offset lithography to digital typesetting and imagesetting, to full color digital printing, where the quality of digital quality now rivals offset quality. CORE grew into commercial printing in the late 1970s and has added web development and web-to-print capabilities to its list of products and services currently being offered.
CORE also understands the power of one-to-one marketing. Creating a marketing campaign that engages every single customer based on their individual needs and interests is the most powerful way of attracting new customers as well as retaining existing ones. CORE specializes in the most complex variable data integrations, including variable imaging, where images change on each page based on changing data elements for each target customer.
CORE Communications is a “complete package” solutions provider. Most companies tend to offer several services but often don’t provide all of the services needed to finish the job. At CORE we take pride in our ability to offer a one-stop shop to meet all of the needs of our customers.
CORE also looks at each customer as a partner. We take the time to sit down and discuss what it is that our customers are looking for and look at things from the “big picture” point of view. It is not uncommon for us to recommend changing the customer’s process to help them service their customers better and to help them lower their costs and increase their profitability. Some of the ways we offer added value are:
- Providing on-demand solutions that leave no unused materials in inventory
- Taking customer data and utilizing it to offer one-to-one marketing so that each piece is tailored to each target customer
- Providing solutions that allow our customers’ customers to include their logos, contact information and marketing materials
Our Team
CORE Communications has the belief that a company is not made up of a single person or a single department. It doesn’t matter if your job is in the office, the front desk, on the production floor, or on the road; our company is a team and our success comes from constant, clear communication between all stakeholders. Being able to communicate your needs and having the willingness to help others with their needs makes for a much more productive and enjoyable workplace. The solutions, processes and synergies created by a team are more effective and longer lasting than solutions from an individual.
Our company has been around for over 60 years, and the collective experience of the team members at CORE represent hundreds of years of experience in the printing and visual communications industry. Please come in for a tour and a chance to get to meet the team here at CORE Communications.
