Independent Printers Worldwide, Inc. "IPW" was formed on August 20, 1998, for the purpose of representing it's members in streamlining the procurement process to achieve efficiencies and cost savings in purchasing equipment, materials, supplies, and services. The resources that we provide for our members help them to reduce process cost, freight expenses, increase manufacturing efficiencies, and give them access to product innovations and marketing tools.
