Welcome to JH Bertrand. We are looking forward to working with you!

If you are a commercial printer or print reseller, you have probably seen this ad in the major printing trade journals.

We welcome receiving your offset printing for conversion into booklet labels. You may have a medical, chemical, food, health and beauty or consumer product's customer who is interested in having you provide them with booklet labels. Please consider offering our value added products. By sending us your printing, you get to use your presses to print the project. We act as your high tech bindery. IMPORTANT NOTE: While we give you the option of sending us the printing, many distributors and commercial printers opt for having us provide it. We have several local printer-partners who offer very good quality printing at reasonable prices.

For those resellers and distributors who aren't sending us a component. Don't worry. We'll give you distributor discounted pricing.

Whether you are sending us printing or not, please review the information below. It will help you understand what you can expect from us as your partner.

Please read our preparation primer on how we need your printing prepared for shipment to us.

#1 FAQ:  Does JH Bertrand sell only to the trade?

A significant amount of our business is made for the trade which includes resellers, commercial printers, packaging companies, advertising agencies, and label manufacturers. Our direct business is handled by family members and doesn't interfere with our distribution chain. At this time, we need both methods to thrive in our niche as the booklet label business is a complex sell. You will find us to be ethical and honest. We take account protection seriously. You can be assured that your business with us will be handled confidentially. If you have any questions, please call or email me.
