Welcome to Margie Dana’s Print Buyers International (PBI). PBI is an international organization focusing on the needs of print buyers, while creating a forum that unites buyers with printers and suppliers throughout the graphic arts industry.

PBI is a new umbrella company that is a natural extension of Boston Print Buyers (BPB), which is our two-year-old professional association that caters to those who purchase or oversee the purchase of print and other media. The new organization is not a replacement for Boston Print Buyers. BPB continues to be an active, member-driven division of PBI. Boston Print Buyers will continue to hold regular dinner programs in the Boston area.

In keeping with Boston Print Buyers’ expanded scope, our new branding more accurately reflects our association’s market and global reach.

Why "Print Buyers International"?

There are three reasons:

1. Our weekly enewsletter, Margie's Print Tips, is currently read by industry professionals worldwide, throughout 25 countries. We have been marketing globally since the Tips began back in 1999.

2. Print buyers the world over share many of the same issues, including a universal need for more education about the industry. PBI will provide this education through numerous channels.

3. Printing is global - and print buying is, too. As they evaluate printing resources worldwide, print buyers need and deserve information to help in their decision-making process. PBI strives to provide this information to help buyers everywhere.

PBI's Mission Statement

In recognition of the fact that print buyers around the world share the same issues, face the same challenges, and seek the same information about the printing industry, Margie Dana's Print Buyers International (PBI) strives to serve this group of professionals.

We will serve them through programs, conferences, and a variety of online communications tools, to bring them relevant news and information that will enhance their working relationships with providers of printing and the related graphic arts.

In doing so, we hope to open doors between print customers and service providers in the industry, in ways that build bridges and strengthen business relationships the world over.
