Greetings,
Over the past few days the Association have been working with the governors offices in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin to determine the status of printers during the "
Safer at Home
" (WI) Executive Order.
Please note that printers are not specifically listed as an “essential business” in the executive order.
However
, if your company is a vendor, supplier or provides other support to an essential business that is required for the essential business’s operation, then your business is exempt. Additionally, if your company is engaged in, “mail, post, shipping, logistics, delivery and pick-up services” you are also exempt from the executive orders. To view a list of what is essential, please click

.
T
he printing industry continues to be a major supply chain vendor to Critical Infrastructure Industries outlined by the
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency
and are essential for the continued function of the economy in this time of crisis. We realize each company will manage this order in their own way and we encourage each to practice safe guidelines that have been spelled out by the
United States Center for Disease Control
.
Moving forward, the Association will continue providing the industry with information on proposed legislation and education on how to navigate the landscape during this extremely difficult event. As always, please contact us directly at (262) 522-2210 if you have any questions or need assistance in any way.
Sincerely,
Joseph Lyman
President
Great Lakes Graphics Association
