1. Send an email to production@esu6.org with all project requests, bids, or inquiries.
2. Order online -- visit this page to browse and fill out project order forms. These order forms will be sent to our production@esu6.org email.
3. Or if you choose, you can download our order forms as PDFs from this page. From there, you can type in your responses directly into the PDF or you can print it out and scan it as an attachment in an email to production@esu6.org.
4. You may call our Production Center or visit our office to discuss a potential project, but you are still required to submit a request to our production@esu6.org email.

When you submit a request, please include the project name or type of project in the email subject. Save that email with the ticket number and reply with that email when regarding that particular project.

Our production@esu6.org email is linked to our Project Ticket System. With all the project demands we receive from our school districts, this system helps keep us organized with all the requests that are submitted to our Production Center.

The timeline for a project depends on the job itself. Short-run copies could take 1-3 business days. School Handbook or other booklet printing with binding could take up to 3-5 business days depending on the number of copies and pages of the booklet.

For projects with custom graphic design, you should allow at least 2-3 weeks total for the designing, proofing, and printing of the project. Designing usually takes 1 week while the proofing stage depends on the customer reviewing the project. Printing the project should take no longer than 5 business days.

All projects submitted to the Production Center are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

If you have a file you'd like to send to us for printing/copies you may attach it to a project request to production@esu6.org. If your file is too large to send through email, please contact Elisa Taylor at (402) 761.3341 for other options to send your file.

If you have a master or hard copy that you need photocopies of, feel free to call or email the Production Center to make arrangements to send or bring in your copy to our center.

If you are a school district located in the ESU 6 service area, all project/print orders have the option to be delivered via the ESU 6 van delivery service. The ESU 6 van runs its route every Monday from the 1st week in August to the 3rd week in May. If a holiday falls on a Monday, the route runs on Tuesdays.

For other instances, arrangements will need to be made to have your items delivered or picked up.
