Suzy's Zoo Greeting Cards
© Suzy's Zoo Greeting Cards |
Golden Gate Litho produced the first run of greeting cards for
Suzy’s Zoo when the company was founded in 1968. Since then,
we’ve printed millions of cards and other stationery products
as the business has grown into a multi-million dollar company. Currently,
we run a volume of approximately eight million pieces per year,
and continue to be the company’s primary print vendor.
“Golden Gate Litho has helped us maintain a high quality
product and image in a very competitive marketplace. Don and his
team are so intimate with the work we do—and so proactive
and responsive—that they are almost an extension of our brain.
They are magicians on the press, and we see them as an integral
partner in the success of our business.
When Suzy’s Zoo relocated to San Diego, we tried several
local printers because we thought that might be easier. It wasn’t.
Not only is Golden Gate Litho faster, easier to work with and more
affordable, but they have a much better understanding of how ink
goes down, which papers to use and what is necessary to reproduce
our images.
We really admire and appreciate Golden Gate Litho’s contemporary
application of old-fashioned values. This team never gives up on
quality. Not only do they do everything possible to maintain the
fidelity of our art, but often they make it look better. Plus, price
estimates and timing schedules are always met—and frequently
improved upon.”

Cost Plus
In 1998, Golden Gate Litho began working with Cost Plus World
Market’s store signage department. Impressed with our quality
and timely work, this group quickly invited us to take on greater
responsibilities. Soon, we were recommended to the marketing department.
Today, both departments rely on us heavily for a wide variety of
projects. As our clients’ satisfaction continuously increases,
so does the scope of our work for Cost Plus.
“At any given time, Golden Gate Litho is juggling six or
more projects for the Sign Production Department alone—with
approximately 250,000 pieces for over 150 stores in 20 different
markets. This requires a tremendous amount of communication and
attention to detail. We typically talk to Golden Gate Litho at least
three times a day.
Golden Gate Litho knows our business as well as we do. They always
take the lead in making things happen, and consistently go the extra
mile for us. I find them extremely personable and easy to work with.
Everyone is always in the loop, and they’re happy to answer
my questions and walk me through how things are done. This makes
my job much easier.
Golden Gate Litho seems to make the impossible possible. No matter
how tight the turn or how complicated the project; they get the
job done right—usually ahead of schedule. We deal with many
vendors, and this is the best customer service relationship I have.
Golden Gate Litho is without a doubt the best production printer
here in the Bay.”
