The total sales under the duration of the new contract are 6 expected to exceed $100 million. This represents a significant change by L.L.Bean, in giving one printer responsibility for its entire catalog production.

L.L.Bean, a 90 year old $1 billion retailer of apparel and outdoor gear, mails over 200 million catalogs per year.
