Quad is now the sole printer of the U.S. edition of Reader's Digest, America's fourth largest-circulation magazine. The new, multi-million-dollar contract spans the next three years. One of the best-known magazines on American shelves, Reader's Digest's move to Quad streamlines its annual U.S. print run of almost 20 million copies.
Quad's through-the-line solution, including a capital investment in two-up binders, gives it all the resources needed to manufacture and distribute the magazine. This end-to-end process includes Publishers' Studio, Quad's proprietary workflow solution for issue mapping, which Reader's Digest has been using since 2021.
