The Chicago White Sox welcome this opportunity to recognize Edge Graphics as one of its ten best diverse suppliers of 2005.  This honor is given in recognition of Edge Graphics' outstanding contributions during the year, particularly during the postseason.

Our on-field success created a whole new set of demands for the White Sox organization during the postseason.  One of those demands involved the printing of a media guide, which is a book that contains statistical information about our players.  It is used by the media in their coverage of our club. 

The media guide printing job was unique because it required a printer to be able to print a multi-page, color guide without much lead time.  Once our public relations staff completed their files, we needed a printer to pickup and produce completed books within a two day time period.  To complicate matters, we needed a printer who was willing to be "on call" to print more guides in the event the White Sox advanced through the postseason.

Edge Graphics stepped up to the plate and gave us championship-level performance.  The company printed our media guides for the Division Championship, League Championship and the World Series. 

Ed Gordon, the president of Edge Graphics, personally came down and picked up our files as soon as they were ready.  He suggested ways for us to create the files that allowed for a much quicker turnaround; and he delivered each set of books on time.

Ed's vast knowledge of printing was really key to the success of this crucial print job.  His input allowed each run to be completed on time and in an efficient and cost competitive way.

In our business, what matters most is how each player performs all the way through to the bottom of the ninth.  Edge Graphics was a key performer in the final stretch of our incredible year.  We are delighted to acknowledge the company's contributions to our enormously successful year, and to recognize Edge Graphics as one of America's Best Diverse Suppliers(R).
