Why Madison Campaigns Print With Rapid Color

Madison is Wisconsin’s capital and one of the most politically engaged cities in the Midwest. The Capitol, the legislature, the state parties, and a community of consultants and advocacy groups all work here. Wisconsin keeps landing in the swing-state column, decided by razor-thin margins cycle after cycle — so every postcard counts.

Rapid Color is a national printer, and we keep every job in-house — no brokering, no outsourcing. Your persuasion postcards, GOTV mail, fundraising appeals, and issue pieces run on our own HP Indigo digital presses and Komori HUV offset press. Then they ship direct to your office on the Capitol Square, your firm near campus, or a mail house anywhere in Dane County.

What You Get When You Work With Us

Six things Madison campaigns and committees count on when they hand us a postcard job.

🏭

Everything Under One Roof

Digital presses, HUV offset, finishing, mailing, fulfillment — it’s all in our building. Your Madison job never gets handed off to a third party, so there’s no middle-man and no surprise delay.

🎨

Color That Actually Matches

We’re G7-certified, so color is measured, not guessed. If your Madison program mails in waves, the last drop looks just like the first.

We Run Around the Clock

Campaign deadlines don’t move, so we don’t stop. Same-day and next-day production is available on most postcard formats — handy for tight Madison drops and final-week GOTV mail.

We Handle the Mail Too

EDDM or a targeted voter file — we take it from artwork to mailbox. List and route selection, printing, postage, and the USPS drop-off for any Madison-area ZIP.

🏆

We’ve Done This a While

Family-owned since 1989. Three-plus decades of commercial and political printing means we’ve seen the Madison deadline you’re worried about, and we know how to hit it.

Fast Shipping, Tracked

Political Mail for the Madison Market

Being the capital of a closely divided state, Madison mails political postcards constantly. We print for statewide and legislative campaigns, the state party committees, Dane County and city races, and judicial campaigns — Wisconsin’s high-profile Supreme Court races among them. The state’s tight margins keep persuasion and turnout mail moving all season.

We ship across Madison — Downtown and the Capitol Square, the Isthmus, the area around the University of Wisconsin, Monona, Middleton, Sun Prairie, Fitchburg, and the surrounding Dane County communities. Campaign office, consultancy, or lettershop dock — your postcards arrive ready to drop.

A Few Madison Jobs, Start to Finish

Real-world examples of how Madison campaigns and committees put our postcards to work.

Supreme Court Race

Issue Mail for a Judicial Campaign

A judicial campaign needed a color-accurate persuasion series for a high-profile statewide race.

We produced it in-house, with G7 calibration holding the color steady through reorders.

Result: same color across 5 reorders
Legislative Race

Persuasion Mail for a Tight District

A legislative campaign needed persuasion postcards targeted to a closely divided Dane County district.

Variable-data targeting and direct-to-lettershop shipping kept it on schedule.

Result: full series delivered on one in-home window
GOTV

Final-Week Turnout Postcards

A statewide campaign needed GOTV postcards printed and dropped in the closing days of a tight race.

Rush production made the final-week deadline.

Result: GOTV piece dropped on schedule

Madison Political Postcard Printing — Common Questions

The things Madison campaigns and committees ask us most.

How fast can you ship political postcards to Madison?
Standard orders ship 3 to 5 business days after you approve the proof, then reach Madison-area addresses in another 1 to 2 days. For tight deadlines and final-week GOTV drops, we run 24-hour rush production with overnight shipping. Call (702) 792-6055 and we’ll check timing against your mail date.
Can you ship straight to a Madison mail house or campaign office?
Yes. We regularly ship finished postcards directly to mail houses, lettershops, and campaign or committee offices around Madison and Dane County. Give us the address and your in-home window, and we’ll time production so the cards arrive before your drop.
Which Madison-area ZIP codes can you target for EDDM and voter mail?
Any of them. We handle Every Door Direct Mail and targeted voter-file mailings for every Madison-area ZIP — Downtown, the Isthmus, the campus area, Monona, Middleton, Sun Prairie, Fitchburg — and Dane County as a whole. We manage list and route selection, printing, postage, and the USPS drop-off.
Can you match our exact campaign colors on every reorder?
Yes. We’re G7-certified, which is a fancy way of saying our color is measured and calibrated, not eyeballed. For Madison campaigns that mail in waves, that means your postcards look the same on the last drop as they did on the first.
Do you print disclaimer-compliant postcards for Wisconsin?
Yes. We place the “paid for by” disclaimer and any other required attribution clearly on the artwork. You’re responsible for the exact wording under federal and Wisconsin rules — we make sure it’s legible, in the right spot, and prints cleanly on every card.
What artwork files do you accept?
Print-ready PDF works best, and we also take Illustrator (AI), Photoshop (PSD), and InDesign files. No finished artwork yet? Our design team can build your Madison postcard from a brief. Either way you’ll get a digital proof to sign off on before anything prints.
Do you have a print shop in Madison?
No — we’re a national printer based in Las Vegas, and we’ve been at it since 1989. There’s no storefront in Madison. Every postcard is printed in-house on our HP Indigo digital presses and Komori offset press, then shipped fast to your Madison campaign office, consultant, or mail house.
