WASHINGTON, DC—Jan. 16, 2013—The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) worked with the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies to produce printed materials for the 57th Presidential Inauguration. The process takes one year for GPO employees to design and produce approximately 40 materials including:
- Tickets
- Invitations
- Stationery
- Program packet kits
- Parking passes
- Maps
- Signage
- Secure access credentials
GPO used security design and printing techniques to produce more than 280,000 tickets and more than 10,000 secure access credentials for the President’s Inauguration. GPO has a long history of contributing to the security of the nation by producing the U.S. passport for the Department of State and border crossing cards for the Department of Homeland Security. Producing security documents for the President’s inauguration is an extension of GPO serving as the provider of secure credentials for the Federal Government.
