PAGE Cooperative is a not-for-profit, member-owned cooperative buying association.

Members pool their individual purchases to create large-volume leverage.

Large volume purchases earn significant discounts and rebates from over 175 suppliers. Members purchase over $125 million dollars annually. These purchases include discounts in: ink, graphic arts materials, pressroom and circulation supplies, office, production and electronic media equipment/systems and of course, newsprint. In addition, a variety of other equipment, systems, software and services used by the printing/media companies are available to PAGE member companies.

As the members move into a multitude of platforms used to distribute news and information, PAGE has a growing list of available suppliers that continue to offer discounted pricing based on the overall volume that PAGE buys.

Our Suppliers

PAGE Cooperative Suppliers offer up-front discounts to members based on purchasing agreements. Additionally, some items receive special rebates from Suppliers based on purchasing volume in a given billing period. These rebates are then disbursed to the members based on their total purchases for the item during that period.

Return on Investment

Since PAGE Cooperative is a “true” cooperative, any dollars that remain at the end of each fiscal year are returned back to the members in proportion to the purchasing through the Cooperative. This is called the Cooperative’s annual Patronage Dividend.
