PII is pleased to offer the 2008 Bluebook of Hourly Rates—Budgeted Hourly Rates for the Printing and Imaging Industry. These BHRs are based on data from the recent PII Wage & Benefit Survey (labor costs), surveys of manufacturers and members (equipment costs) and our local area Ratio Study (overhead costs). The rates include the direct cost of labor and equipment, as well as the indirect costs of plant, selling and administrative overhead.

This very useful tool is available — emailed as a PDF file (fast!) or mailed as a CD-ROM or hard copy — to PII members for $100 and non-members for $300.  Order your Bluebook by contacting Joanne Rock at 312-580-3032 or , or download the order form.
