(www.ezpservices.com), a provider of personalized products and related technology solutions, reported that its units shipped during its peak week were up 109 percent and that its product fulfillment and customer service performance exceeded all expectations.

“Despite continued economic weakness, we saw a considerable increase in the quantity of orders we received year-over-year,” said Wes Herman, CEO of ezprints, Inc.  “Consumers are being more selective nowadays, opting to spend their hard-earned money on personalized products which are not only more affordable but considerably more meaningful.”

As a private-label service provider, ezprints measures its success on the company’s ability to support its customers’’ growth and achieve the highest possible level of consumer satisfaction on their behalf.

“ezprints clearly demonstrated they were up to the task this holiday season and they exceeded our expectations across the board,” said Macnee.

“We are proud to be the company that many consumers have never heard of, despite the fact that they have more than likely created or received one of our personalized products,” Herman said.  “That’s precisely what our private-label solution is designed to accomplish; from our online product builder down to the packaging in which the products are shipped, our customer’s brand is all consumers ever see.”
