SAN ANTONIO (EMWNews) August 1, 2008 —

Harland Clarke was named a 2008 recipient of the “Corporate

Business Achievement” award at this year’s

National Postal Forum. The award recognizes the business partnership of

a company with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), as demonstrated by its

use of postal products and services that strengthen and grow its

business. Harland Clarke’s relationship with

the USPS started more than 130 years ago and has always been based upon

a spirit of cooperation in delivering outstanding service and winning

results to the customers the two entities share.

“We consider the U.S. Postal Service an

invaluable partner in fulfilling the needs of our clients and their

customers or members,” said Dan Singleton,

Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing. “The

decisions we make about package design, sortation systems, labels,

barcodes, and other delivery components, are made only after extensive

discussions with the Postal Service.”

Harland Clarke’s business model is

performance excellence. This has driven the company’s

close working relationships with suppliers. “We

are in constant pursuit of continually improving the experience of our

clients,” noted Carol Kliewer, Director of

Logistics and Distribution. “By working

collaboratively with the United States Postal Service, we are helping

ensure great customer service at every delivery touch point.”

The Corporate Business Achievement Award is one of three Best-in-Class

award categories recognizing a select group of customers at the annual

National Postal Forum. The other two categories are the Creative

Business Solutions Award and the Strategic Business Development Award.
