Local Government Printing

Built for the Reality of Local Government

Local government runs on deadlines that do not move. The council meets Tuesday whether or not your packet is bound. The election is on the calendar regardless of how many revisions the sample ballot needed. Public notice deadlines are statutory. Catdi Printing built our local government services practice around those non-negotiable timelines, and we operate with the rush capacity, election-cycle priority queues, and standing reorder templates that municipal clerks, city secretaries, and county procurement offices need.

Public Notice Compliance

Public notices are not just communication — they are a legal requirement. Each jurisdiction has its own format, font size, and placement rules. We produce notices in the formats your jurisdiction mandates, on archive-quality paper for record retention, with certified-mail-ready printing for notices that must be served on specific parties. Newspaper inserts, standalone notice sheets, and posting boards are all in our standard rotation.

Election Season Priority

Local elections are high-stakes, low-tolerance work. A typo on a sample ballot, a missing precinct on a polling place sign, or a late voter information guide is not a minor problem — it is a public trust problem. We staff a dedicated election services queue for cities and counties, with multi-round proofing, bilingual and multilingual production, and rush turnaround on signage and supplies. We work the election calendar with your elections administrator from filing deadline through canvass day.

Council & Commission Meeting Packets

Council and commission packets need to be perfect by meeting night — tabbed sections, color-coded appendices, presentation boards for public hearings, and printed minutes for the official record. We handle last-minute agenda additions without panic, set up your packet template once so reorders are simple, and offer comb, saddle-stitch, and spiral binding so each council picks the format their members prefer. Local pickup and delivery are available across the greater Houston area.

EDDM: The Best Tool for City-Wide Notification

When a city or county needs to reach every household in a service area — utility rate changes, public hearing announcements, parks and rec season launches, special assessment notices, bond election outreach — Every Door Direct Mail is the most cost-effective option. No mailing list is needed; we work directly with USPS routes to cover the area you specify. This typically costs less than half what a targeted mailing would cost, and saturation coverage is exactly what these municipal communications need.
