FEATURED SUCCESS STORY

Joyce Meyer Ministries Embrace Univenture’s UniKeep™ CD/DVD Wallet

Joyce Meyer Ministries is an international nonprofit organization, headquartered in Fenton, Missouri, with a global outreach that involves the most powerful forms of media, worldwide conferences, missions, outreaches, and multilingual resources.

Four years ago, Univenture introduced Joyce Meyer Ministries to the company’s UniKeep™ CD Wallet with Safety-sleeve®. The nonprofit organization was impressed with the overall quality, appearance, and especially the fact that it was cost-effective. After experiencing the value and quality of the product, they converted their CD/ DVD packaging to Univenture.

Since that time, the ministry has been using UniKeep 5 and 10 disc black wallets, with single and double-sided poly releasable sleeves, for a total package solution. Each wallet includes a clear

polypropylene, black Safety-sleeve. Each sleeve is uniquely branded with the Joyce Meyer Ministries logo. Inserts, identifying the teachings for each wallet, make it easy to find the right disc.

Working directly with the customer to develop a more practical sleeve for Joyce Meyer Ministries’ assembly operation, Univenture’s President, Michele Cole, developed a “releasable” feature for the sleeve. This enhancement helped create significant value in how the product was assembled.

“We appreciate the quality and additional value of the Univenture wallet,” commented Paul Huse, Marketing Director for Joyce Meyer Ministries. “They are less expensive, easier to inventory, and we have fewer returns due to damage during shipping.”

Durable and compact - thinner than three jewel cases - UniKeep wallets are completely enclosed, stackable, and easy to add or remove sleeves by simply opening and closing two snap locking polypropylene rings. Designed to be the safest, easiest storage for all

disc formats, UniKeep CD/DVD wallets combine functional and efficient design with premium pages that are safer for discs. Safety-sleeve wallet pages feature a unique, non-woven 100% polypropylene fabric with no lint and no chemicals. Dirt is trapped away from the data to help prevent scratching the disc.

Our UniKeep™ wallets can be customized with cover inserts or custom imprinted with fullcolor graphics on the overlay. Safety-sleeves® can be custom printed with full-color graphics or manufactured in custom colors. UniKeep wallets are available in five- to 100-disc capacities.

Joyce Meyer Ministries Distribution Manager, Rick Lamborn, feels what sets the UniKeep disc wallets apart from the competition are their compactness, durability, quality and versatility.

“We no longer have the need to stock a variety of items to accommodate the different inserts,” said Lamborn. “They are a good overall value.”

Lamborn added that Univenture’s cooperation with scheduling deliveries, last-minute add-ons, and handling rush orders is an important aspect in the success of the two companies’ relationship.

UNIVENTURE INNOVATION

Innovation in Algae

Univenture was founded on the ideals of inventing and manufacturing more environmentally friendly packaging solutions for corporate customers in the US and abroad. More recently, however, we have been focusing our energies right here in Ohio to help tackle the challenge of alternative fuels.

We are quickly developing a Rapid Algae Farming (RAF) System, which will serve

as the platform for the creation of numerous products from algae, specifically biofuels and bioplastics. One of our goals is to be able to grow algae that can also be refined into polypropylene.

The RAF System is a fully automated network of enclosed photo-bioreactors that efficiently grows and processes algae. To find out more about the progress of this new venture, visit www.algaeVS.com

Digital Printing on UniKeep™ Binders
Now you can have your message digitally printed in VIBRANT colors directly on your binder!

Digital technology has successfully addressed visual communication concerns such as: cost, color, size and turnaround time, and made it more affordable than ever before. With our digital printing service, we offer customers vibrant digital quality printing right onto the Uni-Keep™ Case Binder, providing a memorable and unique look. Digital printing is currently available on the UniKeep 1.0” Case Binder, however, inquiries about other sizes are welcome, as we have custom capabilities in product design and printing.

Digital printing is an excellent way to display your company or brand, and be certain that it will be remembered. It’s great for presentations, press kits, manuals, and anything else that will serve as a leave-behind for customers to remember your name. Small quantities are welcome and can be useful in a variety of applications.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

An Eco-friendly Printing Solution:

Digital printing is cleaner, safer and generally less wasteful and environmentally hazardous than other printing methods. Since small quantities are possible, over-run waste is reduced and you only print what you need.

Digital printing also decreases the use of water, dyes and solutions. The use of UV inks, which contain no heavy metals, reduces the VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions, and uses less energy for the drying process and workspace cooling system.

Modern, Efficient & Useful:

Costs for digital printing are considerably lower than conventional printing methods, making it possible to produce short runs, or even a single copy of an image in full color. Digital imaging has become an automated process, providing rapid turnaround and the ability to change images as needed with no additional tooling required. This makes digital printing ideal for material that needs frequent updating, and allows for design correction and modification at anytime.

Univenture Digital Printing
Dramatically Enhance Your Marketing Message:

The look and clarity of digital printing creates a meaningful marketing message that is completely customized, increasing sales and improving your direct mail response for greater ROI. Digital images can range from the size of a small logo to the entire length of the binder: front, back and spine, helping you to better target and personalize your message.


UNIVENTURE SUCCESS STORY

Bindable Solution with Unique Printing Capabilities

SAGA Advertising & Marketing has been providing marketing services to a variety of clients since 1972. They offer their specialties in a range of areas from web and video, to identity development and literature, and focus on providing a look that is refreshingly distinguished at a price that is more competitive than most firms or agencies.

One of their loyal clients, Victory Magazine, for whom they have provided logo development and direct mail design, was in need of something new. The project required the ability to bind a DVD into their magazine, while incorporating perforation so that a portion could be mailed back as a rebate or used as

a coupon. "The piece was inserted into the magazine as a bind-in DVD holder and a coupon rebate tear-off on the opposite side," said Emily Nemecek, Art Director for SAGA.

SAGA chose Univenture’s Saddle-Stitch Bind-In Sleeve, made from paper and polypropylene. "It was a perfect fit for the desired look and kept the DVD safe inside the magazine," said Nemecek. What set Univenture apart from other options available was "the ability to print and use perforation with the piece" noted Nemecek. This helped ensure the effectiveness of the marketing campaign.

"The look was perfect. The team at Univenture wanted to please and really worked to get the custom printing of the best quality possible."

Univenture has been designing and manufacturing media packaging for leading companies in the entertainment, software and publishing industries since 1988. The dedication of the Univenture team and superior quality of Univenture products has resulted in numerous industry awards for its innovation, commitment to customers and sales growth.
