| Business Description: |
Established 80-years ago, this Manufacturer/Distributor of Paper Products has established itself
as a niche provider and reseller within the printing industry. Their extensive specialty paper and
stationary selection allows the customers to custom design their unique product offering. The
company purchases their inventory directly from various paper mills. The Company is a
reseller of these products and also has its own line of proprietary products with a well recognized
“private label” brand name - Empire. Since Ideal has been in business for over 80 years, the
Company is very well known within the industry. They distribute to a broad customer base
nationwide, consisting of Thermographers, Printers and Paper Merchants. Much of the
Company’s success is due to repeat business from satisfied customers and their reputation for
excellent customer service and support.
Once Ideal has established its proprietary line in many of its customers’ catalogues, the repeat
business is generated on an on-going basis. The company is unique in the fact that it will sell its
products in both palletized and small lots so that it can service a wide variety of customers. Ideal
prides itself on quick and efficient order management from intake to delivery.

| Potential for Growth: |
This is a rare and unique opportunity to acquire a company with an 80-year business history in a
niche product market with national distribution. Ideal Cards is well established and is ready for
new owner to provide day-to-day management of the business. The ideal buyer will have practical
knowledge of the paper and/or printing industry and possess strong sales and marketing
expertise. A background in distribution is useful but not a requirement. Ideal Cards has operated
without a hands-on General Manager for three years. The former General Manager was the prior
owner and also the key Account Executive. Despite this management absence, the Company has
sustained its relationship and reputation with its core customers and remains a well recognized
specialty brand. The opportunity to quickly grow this business in several directions provides a
new owner with an immediate upside to an acquisition.
First and Foremost, the opportunity exists to grow sales with its existing customers and former
customers by direct marketing and client visits. This will provide the field intelligence to determine
new products and services that can be offered to their customer base. For example, with the
growth in digital printing, Ideal Cards could easily add a digital paper product line to its product
offering. Another growth opportunity to consider is opening sales offices in other regions of
country to better serve a specific region. The Company has some key accounts in the Southern
States yet does not maintain a sales office in that region. The Company has only a few
customers in the Mid-West and beyond. The Mid-West and West Coast provide a future growth
opportunity for years to come under new ownership.
