PIA Offers Sample Sales Contracts

Printing Industries Press is providing Printing Sales Contracts: Samples from the Industry, compiled by the Printing Industries of America Human Relations Department.

Various types of contracts can be found within this collection, including:

• Fulfillment agreements
• Commercial agreements
• Magazine agreements
• Book agreements
• Confidentiality agreements

According to Jim Kyger, human relations director at PIA, while readers are cautioned to refrain from using these samples on an "as-is" basis, this resource can be extremely valuable in providing practical ideas that can be customized to fit a company's needs. Additionally, readers are encouraged to utilize Business Practices (formerly known as Trade Customs) in conjunction with the sample sales contracts. This resource has been successfully used for this purpose in the past and because of its supplemental value, PIA is expecting to publish an updated version later this year.

This is the newest title in PIA's "samples" series. Others include: Best Practices of the Best Workplaces in the Americas, 2006 and 2007 editions; Incentive, Bonus, and Recognition Programs in the Printing Industry; Sales Compensation and Incentive Plans; and Sample Union Contract Language Manual. Printing Sales Contracts: Samples from the Industry is available to PIA members for $80 and to non-members for $160. These and all of Printing Industries Press' nearly 200 publications are available online at www.printing.org or by phone at (866) 855-4283 or (301) 790-7686.
