We can work directly with UW–Madison professors and instructors to print and prepare course packets for student use. Faculty can submit course materials for professional printing, ensuring packets are clear, organized, and ready for the semester.
Once produced, course packets are sold through the University Bookstore on State Street, making them easy and convenient for students to purchase.
Our team is happy to assist with file setup, printing questions, and production timelines to help ensure a smooth process from submission to distribution.
