The Allstate Print Communication Center started off the year by accepting NAPL's William K. Marrinan Hall of Fame award, the highest honor in the NAPL Management Plus program. This crowned a seven-year streak of earning NAPL Gold Awards.

In 2003 APCC also assumed responsibility for the in-plant of the former American Heritage Life Insurance Co., which Allstate purchased four years ago. The 34,000-square-foot facility in Jacksonville, Fla., employs 18 people and includes a direct-to-plate system, two four-color Heidelbergs, a Xerox DocuTech and other equipment. Its Fulfillment Center has been moved into Allstate's Wheeling, Ill., facility and five fulfillment employees are being trained in printing to help the operation expand with a second print shift in 2004.
