USPS: INNOVATOR WITH IMPACT.

INNOVATOR WITH IMPACT. The April issue of Folio, a periodical for magazine publishers, features Pricing and Classification VP Stephen Kearney as one of 40 “industry innovators with impact.” Kearney said USPS has increased productivity in recent years, and is working to help magazines do the same. One example is co-palletization, which helps smaller publishers and printers save time and money by shipping periodicals from closer to their final destination. “Eventually, everybody will be co-palletizing or co-mailing,” Kearney said. “We think that’s the wave of the future.”
