Our capability and capacity make us the obvious choice
We are specialists in
vote-by-mail: Not every ballot printer can service
vote-by-mail counties. And even if your county isn't all
vote-by-mail yet, that's the trend, making K&H a good company
to know. Now.
We print everything digitally: Compared to
traditional offset printing, digital printing allows us to print
exactly what you need, and only charge you for that.
Each county is assigned a dedicated Election
Coordinator: Each K&H Election Coordinator works with
a handful of counties. Their only job during an election is
servicing those counties, and only those counties.
Our system is proven and proprietary: Imagine
printing and coordinating 36,000 different ballot types for a
single election. We don't have to imagine it. We did it, for a
county in California. The processes that we've put together with
our automation, barcode technology and database processing enable
this kind of complexity without sacrificing accuracy. When we put a ballot in an envelope and
address it to someone, it's exactly the right ballot for that
person.
We keep it in our house and under our control:
We do all production and servicing ourselves, relying solely on our
own expertise, equipment, facilities and labor. We own the data
processing, printing, manufacturing and mailing processes. We do
not outsource.
Expertise: We have been involved in ballot
printing since 1932. The combined tenure of our supervisory staff
directly participating in election projects exceeds 160 years.
We have awesome firepower: With our cavernous
facility, top-of-the-line equipment, and experienced staff, we can
print, assemble and mail over 750,000 ballots per day.
People power: We employ over 100 FTE's on an
average daily basis, with diverse expertise in data processing,
electronic prepress, offset and digital printing, full-service
bindery, and mail assembly and preparation. Our average employment
tenure exceeds 10 years. All employees, including senior staff, are
available for 24x7 production floor staffing as necessary. For
elections, we employ eight full-time, year-round non-production
staff dedicated only to election customers. During an election,
more than 20 other full-time K&H staff are temporarily
re-assigned to production and quality assurance oversight for the
purposes of managing perfection.
