RR Donnelley Caps Transactional Trilogy

CHICAGO—While it may not have Boardwalk and Park Place, RR Donnelley certainly seems to be building upon its own printing monopoly.

After reaching terms last Halloween to buy Banta, the largest printer in North America resumed its holiday shopping a few days before Christmas by signing an agreement to acquire Perry Judd’s, of Waterloo, WI, for $176 million. Donnelley then rang in the new year by plunking down $412.5 million in cash to Visant Corp. for book printer Von Hoffmann.
