Printing at the Motherhouse
We use the Adrian Dominican Sisters Motherhouse print shop, which does outstanding work at a fraction of the cost of outside vendors. The Motherhouse has a limit of 500 11×17 sheets (1000 8.5×11). If you need more than the limit we are happy to request quotes from local vendors. Please allow the Motherhouse a minimum of 5 business days to complete your order. Ten business days for larger jobs.
The largest size the Motherhouse can do is 13 X 19 inches. The prices vary paper stock used and size of print. There are no price breaks for number of copies.
NOTE: All Motherhouse print requests MUST go through our office. They will not accept projects from anyone but a member of our office staff.

Mailing Guidelines
Bulk Mailing (<200)
We would prefer if bulk mailings are done through an outside vendor.
Here are some reasons:
- Labeled mailing projects may not meet the automated reader standards and take longer for delivery.
- Labeled mailing projects from CARS have not properly met NCOA certification required by USPS. This must be done by mailing vendor. If this process is not done properly the SHU can face fines by USPS. Plus, large return mail charges can be incurred for mailings that are not address cleaned.
- Bulk, non-profit, labeled mailing projects that are not properly zip sorted will result in extra production costs by vendor, or pay full first class rates.
In summary, any bulk mailing project should be handled through SHU’s mail vendor by providing a mailing list from CARS. This way the mailing can happen the fastest and most economical ways possible.
