:: History

In 1989, Dan Beard founded Custom Newsletter Concepts (CNC),
a newsletter publishing company specializing in the writing, design, printing and mailing of customized corporate newsletters.

Founded on the principle that corporate newsletters are the best way to provide the regular client contact needed in most industries, CNC became an overnight success.

Today, the company is the nation’s largest publisher and printer of personalized newsletters. Automotive, Human Resources, Office Supply, Fuel Oil, Security, Health Care, Dentistry and Veterinarian and Equine Practices are some of the industries serviced by CNC.

It was CNC that provided the foundation for expansion into the general commercial printing arena, creating a new company — Beard Printing & Publishing. Featuring an experienced staff of artists and designers utilizing both Mac and PC platforms, ultramodern prepress film imaging equipment, color management systems, one- to four-color process printing, bookmaking and state-of-the-art mailing services, Beard is well positioned as an industry leader. The company’s ability to turnkey a project, from initial design to mailing, has taken "full-service" printing to a whole new dimension.
