Arandell Hurricane Harvey Update #2

Effective over the Labor Day Weekend, the USPS’s North Houston P&DC that services the entire Greater Houston Area has begun resuming all operations. This includes all processing operations for Marketing / Standard Mail.

This processing facility serves all Post Office Delivery Units within the 3-Digit ZIP Codes of 770, 772, 773, 774, 775, 776, 777 and 778. Furthermore, all Post Office Delivery Units have resumed normal operation with the exception of a handful, whose services are being performed out of alternative delivery facilities.

All of Arandell’s customer mail for this area that was being held will begin being released, loaded and put in transit to North Houston P&DC, with the following USPS arrival expectations:

  • 75M pieces held in Dallas are expected to arrive in-home beginning 9/1 –expect deliver to USPS this Thursday (9/7) – Saturday (9/9)
  • 202M pieces held in Dallas are expected to arrive in-home beginning 9/4 –expect deliver to USPS this Friday (9/8) – Monday (9/11)
  • 615M pieces held at Arandell are expected to be in-home beginning 9/11 –expect deliver to USPS Monday (9/11) – Wednesday (9/13)
  • All pieces with in-home beginning 9/18 or later – expecting delivery to USPS as planned

Postal delivery to the mailbox will be running slower as USPS and Houston areas begin to normalize. We are also experiencing spikes in truck transportation to this area. This is causing a displacement in transportation from normal routing. We anticipate over the next week or longer that this will cause some delays throughout the nationwide transportation network.

We will continue to post updates regarding the logistics of mail in Houston. For immediate assistance or questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to a member of your Arandell service team.

Heeter Adds Komori GL40 Perfector with UV Capabilities to Support Business Growth (whattheythink.com)

Komori announced that Heeter, a full-service provider of innovative print and data solutions, has purchased an eight-color Komori GL40 perfector (GL840P) with UV capabilities. The 75-year-old, third-generation family-owned firm operates two facilities in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area and has recently acquired a third location in Cleveland, Ohio to serve a wide variety of clients in health insurance, gaming, pharmaceuticals, education, retail, banking, utilities/energy and more. This is the company’s first Komori press, replacing a competitive press. Key to choosing the Komori over the three press manufacturers Heeter considered was the GL840P’s ability to deliver more efficiencies, its UV printing capabilities and its ability to deliver a lower cost of ownership. With an eye on efficiency and the reduced cost of maintenance and upkeep, the company determined the Komori GL840P fit its growing need for increased capacity, reduced turnaround times and expanded capabilities. Because the press is a perfector, run times are cut in half for two-sided jobs and the UV capabilities allow for faster drying, so that jobs can be sent to the bindery or other finishing processes quickly. This is Heeter’s first UV press and the ability to offer the vibrant colors and special effects of UV printing is a powerful value-added proposition for the high-end markets it serves.
