Background and business
Merced lies in California’s Central Valley, and was officially incorporated in 1889. For much of its history, the city’s economy was driven by agriculture, and by the nearby Castle Air Force Base. Today, the economy is much more diversified, with new industries including Packaging, warehousing and distribution, fiberglass boat building, and support industries such as printing services.
Castle Air Force Base closed in 1995, after phasing out its operations. The area around the base is home to an increasing number of industrial developments, with over 400,000 square feet of new industrial concerns starting since 1992. Companies operating in Merced include nationally-known chains as well as small, independent shops.
No business can succeed unless it attracts clients and customers. Fortunately, printing companies can offer a number of tools for organizations to use in reaching customers. One of the most basic needs any company has is for professional Letterheads for its correspondence. This formal Stationery might be the first - and perhaps only - contact the company has with an individual, so it must be neat and fit for purpose. Stationery printers can help design and Print these.
Most companies will want a business card printing company to Print cards for their employees to use when they represent the organization. Ideally, the card should have the same design and “look” as the Stationery, to create a sense of the company as a coherent whole. Printers are experts at what they do, and can design a brand and cards to meet any need.
Education
Merced is the location of the newest university in California’s famous system, the University of California at Merced. The institution was opened in 2005 to undergraduate students; graduate programs had begun the year before.
The Merced campus is committed to environmental responsibility. All of its buildings already have Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified structures. UC Merced is the first university in the United States that has every building certified as meeting LEED standards. This achievement adds appeal to those concerned about the environment.
University officials can highlight the institution’s environmental stance, as well as listing courses and programs, by working with a catalog printing company on a booklet about UCM for prospective students.
Outdoors
Since Merced is relatively close to Yosemite, the national park is probably the most important outdoor attraction in the area. However, there are a number of city and county parks much closer, including Lake Yosemite and Courthouse Park, which are in the city proper. Area parks include Henderson Park and O’Banion Park.
Parks are great places for picnics, ball games and other family events. Organizers can make them even more fun by working with a banner printing company to create a colorful, sturdy, reusable banner to decorate an event.
