TECC will also upon request supply digital print ready files of materials that you can take to a local printer of your choosing. TECC has also partnered with ETR Associates who can supply you with a printed quote on most materials if needed. There are minimum quantity requirements on all material quotes from ETR Associates. To request a printing quote simply click on the “Need help getting this item printed?” link on the product page. This will take you to a short Request a Quote for ETR Printing Services form. Complete this form and click on the Submit Form tab. ETR will get back to you within 2 business days.
Q: Can I get materials customized with my organization’s name, local information, and other special messages?

Q: Is TECC interested in including materials from outside agencies for possible inclusion on the TECC website?
A: Yes. TECC is always interesting in reviewing and adapting materials that other (non-CTCP funded) agencies are developing.

To submit materials please click on MatTrack Materials Submission located under the Service Requests menu.
